Service Level Agreement

An SLA (Service Level Agreement) is a formal agreement outlining the level of service a provider commits to deliver and the expectations a customer has for that service. In Frappe CRM, SLAs establish response time benchmarks for communication-related to Leads and Deals.

Creating an SLA

Switch to Desk: Switch to the desk view by clicking the profile button in the top left corner and selecting "Switch to Desk."
Access SLA Master: Go to "CRM Service Level Agreement Master" and click "Add CRM Service Level Agreement"
Define SLA Details: Fill in the following information:
- Apply On: Select whether the SLA applies to Leads or Deals.
- Start & End Date: Specify the date range during which the SLA will be active.
- Condition (Python Expression): Enter a Python expression to determine when the SLA applies. For instance, you can use doc.status == "Open" to only set SLA for Open Leads/Deals.
- Priorities Table: Define communication statuses and their corresponding first response time durations. The SLA will enforce the specific duration based on the communication status.
- Holiday List: Create and link a holiday list to exclude holidays from response time calculations.
- Working Hours: Set working hours for each day. Only communication received during these hours will be considered for calculating the first response due time.
Enable the SLA: Once you've configured the SLA details, ensure it's enabled.
