Alert on overdue HelpSpot tickets the moment they slip

Every hour, WebRun opens HelpSpot, checks every open ticket against your response time target, posts a Telegram alert listing anything overdue, and sends a Twilio text to the on call agent for tickets marked urgent that have been waiting the longest.

In short

How do I get alerted when a HelpSpot ticket goes overdue?

WebRun checks your HelpSpot mailbox every hour for tickets that have passed their response time target, then posts the overdue list to a Telegram channel so the whole team can see it. Urgent tickets overdue by more than two hours also trigger a Twilio text straight to the on call agent, so nothing critical waits unnoticed.

  • Overdue tickets get flagged within the hour instead of at end of day
  • Urgent tickets reach the on call agent by text, not just a channel post
  • The team always sees a live, sorted view of what's overdue

Questions, answered

Who receives the Twilio text?

Only your designated on call agent, and only for urgent priority tickets overdue by more than 2 hours. Every other overdue ticket stays in the Telegram list.

Does it reply to the customer for you?

No. WebRun only raises the alert internally. Replying to the ticket in HelpSpot is always done by an agent.

What counts as overdue?

Any ticket that has passed the response time target you set in HelpSpot, whether that's your general SLA or a custom mailbox setting.
