Notify the right teammate or send to a Slack channel

If you don't have Slack but want to try it out, just let us know! Choose whatever conditions you'd like to specify when a teammate should be notified in Front or via Slack.

    Is it possible yet to create an SLA type rule that respects business hours?

    eg If I need to escalate a message if it hasn't been replied to within 4 business hours, so if the message arrives at 9pm Tuesday and we work 9-5 Monday to Friday the message would only trigger the rule 1pm on Wednesday.

    Thanks!

    PS By business hours I'm referring to the same business hours that we've setup in the analytics

    Ben George Rules can't look at business hours at this time, but you can use the Time is between condition in Rules to accomplish this.

    when using "notify teammate," how exactly does the notification work? is it an @mention or a message?
