Real-time alerts for KPIs outside of thresholds

Purpose

1. Real-time alerts for KPIs outside of thresholds ensure immediate notification to stakeholders when service metrics deviate from acceptable ranges, enhancing rapid decision-making.
2. Enables proactive management of appliance customer support performance, driving consistent SLA adherence, and reducing escalation rates.
3. Automatically monitors analytics sources, extracts KPI data (e.g., first-call resolution, average handle time), and issues alerts via multiple channels when limits are breached.
4. Synchronizes operational visibility across platforms and directs remediation instantly for agents, managers, or technicians.

Trigger Conditions

1. Any KPI surpassing pre-defined upper or lower thresholds (e.g., CSAT < 80%, average response time > 5 min, ticket backlog > 30).
2. Scheduled polling of analytics sources or via webhooks on data update.
3. Real-time ingestion of reporting events from CRM or ticketing systems.
