5.4 Priority, SLA and Escalation Process: Verloop follows a process for customers to submit a complaint about a particular bug of a feature, a methodology, or anything else for that matter, which couldn’t be resolved directly within the platform. Before going into the steps of the escalation process, we have outlined the parameters on the basis of which the issue type & its priority is defined. This helps to maintain the same standards on both sides.

a. Priority level definition: The Priority is derived from the Impact. We should be able to derive an incident priority by selecting the impact of an incident.

a. Impact measures the effect of an incident on business processes. We can evaluate the impact based on the following criteria:

b. Priority is based on impact and is used to identify required times for actions to be taken.

c. The allocation of a priority code determines how the incident is being taken care of by the tool and the support staff.

d. It’s built on impact levels, leading to 4 priority levels, please refer to the table below.

e. Priority Matrix: It’s built on impact levels, leading to 4 priority levels.

Priority Urgency Issue types P0 Highest Environment outages. Channel outages. Latency. Chat assignment issues, single tick on messages sent by agents.

 

Priority	Urgency	Issue types
P0	Highest	Environment outages. Channel outages. Latency. Chat assignment issues, single tick on messages sent by agents.
P1	High	Major feature breaks with a very high business impact on customers. Examples – Business hour change, Bot responses not working at recipe level, Webhook failure on bot flow, RHS not working, chats not closing on set timeout, agent notifications.
P2	Medium	Medium level business impact on customers. Examples – Dashboard discrepancy, template issues, live chat issues (not including chat assignment/RHS not working)
P3	Low	Low business impact. Examples – good to have feature enhancements, and minor bugs. Examples – reset password, feature requests, and all other issues.

5.5 Customer SLA: Verloop differentiates between 4 types of SLA –

	P0	P1	P2	P3

5.6 Escalation Process:

Step 1: Document your complaint and report it to the Support Team via link (https://verloop-io.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/group/-1) or email to support@verloop.io and cc the customer success manager (L1). The description should list the disputed issue(s) and factual evidence supporting the customer’s view. The list can include unanswered questions or concerns in timeline, anticipated outcome, etc. while discovering the product flow.

Step 2: Send your complaint to the Verloop Customer Success Manager: If issues are unresolved in the given time period, then the next escalation can be taken as a copy of the same email to the Customer Success Manager (L2). View this step as an opportunity to reach an agreement by making sure bugs/requirements can be understandable with the same set of information. The L2 support determines whether there is a substantive basis for the complaint/bugs, assessing the fact base and actuality of the claim.

Step 3: Send your complaint to the Verloop Customer Success Head: If issues are unresolved in the given time period of L2, then the next escalation can be taken as a copy of the same email to the Customer Success Head (L3). This step can be used to discuss what all other ways can be possible to resolve the issue as quickly as possible from a technological point of view. If the complaint/bug is accepted, the tech head conducts an independent analysis of both the complaint and evidence relating to the dispute and moves it toward resolution.

Step 4: Send your complaint to the Verloop Director of Customer Experience: If issues are unresolved in the given time period of L3, then the next escalation can be taken as a copy of the same email to the Director of Customer Experience (L4). This step can be used to resolve the issue as quickly as it can.
