Client’s Challenge

The client needs to create a Custom Coded Workflow which looks at the following criteria for a Ticket in HubSpot:
 
1. The "Severity level" (priority) of the ticket. Then it needs to set an SLA.
 
2. Calculate the time the ticket has spent in a stage (to the minute). If the SLA is not met, then it needs to update another property with, "Missed".
 
This is NOT as easy as it sounds… let’s take a look!!

Solution

First, we defined the workflow’s process…

Our HubSpot Specialists created two workflows to calculate the time it takes for a ticket to change stage and verify if it complies with the SLA time.

This is what it looks like…

Workflow 1: Get Ticket Stage and Start Time 

The first workflow marks the time the Ticket entered the current stage and saves them in other properties.

Workflow 2: Compare Time Spent with SLA Time

The second workflow compares the time the Ticket moved to another stage, calculates how long it spent in the previous stage, and then compares it to the SLA time.
