How Do I Maintain SLA Compliance Above 95% Using HubSpot Service Hub?
Configure SLAs, working hours, routing, escalations, and dashboards in Service Hub—then run QA loops that keep your SLA bar green week after week.
Create ticket SLAs by pipeline and priority, anchored to working hours. Use inbox routing (round-robin/capacity-based) and workflows for reminders, escalations, and reassignments before breaches. Enable collision detection and macros for faster replies, and publish a knowledge base to deflect simple tickets. Track time to first response/close with Goals and dashboards, forecast likely breaches, and run weekly QA to fix root causes. The result: sustained SLA compliance.
Keep SLAs Green: Service Hub Plays
The Operating System for 95%+ SLA Compliance
High compliance happens when prevention and detection work together. In Settings → SLAs, set first response and time-to-close targets by pipeline and priority, tied to working hours with holiday exceptions. Use inbox routing to assign via round-robin or capacity, add skill-based rules (product/region/language), and enable collision detection so multiple agents don’t reply at once.
Build workflows that warn the owner at 50–70% of SLA time, add internal comments, reassign or escalate when owners are unavailable, and notify managers for high-priority items. Speed response with templates, snippets, and macros that set status and next steps in one click. Reduce volume with a searchable Knowledge Base and chatbots for common questions; tag deflection reasons on tickets to see which content prevents cases.
Operationalize visibility: saved views for breach risk, awaiting customer, and stuck > X hours; Goals for team/agent times; dashboards for SLA % by queue, priority, and channel. Add root-cause fields (e.g., handoff delay, missing info) to power weekly QA and staffing decisions. With clear SLAs, proactive alerts, and continuous QA, teams sustain >95% compliance without burning out agents.
