Real-Time SLA Breach Notifications in Zendesk
Can Zendesk notify me of SLA breaches in real-time?
Currently, Zendesk does not support real-time notifications for SLA breaches. Notifications can only be sent using hourly automations, which means you can be notified up to an hour before or after a breach. This limitation is due to the lack of a native method for more granular timing. For more details on setting up these notifications, refer to the article onCreating and managing automations for time-based events.
