Setting Up Task Escalations

Task escalations allow you to automatically reassign tasks if they are not actioned within a set timeframe. This helps ensure guest requests and operational tasks are handled promptly by the right people.

Accessing Task Escalations

  4. Select Tasks

You will see a list of all tasks for your property, including guest requests and operational tasks.

Opening Escalation Settings

  3. Select Escalation Config

Adding an Escalation Level

  1. Select Add escalation level

  2. Set the timeframe for the escalation, for example 15 minutes

This means if the task is not updated or actioned within that timeframe, it will escalate.

Assigning the Escalation

Choose whether to assign the escalation to a group or department, or a specific user

If assigning to a user, select the team member from the list.

Stopping Escalations Based on Status

You can choose which task statuses stop escalation.

Untick any statuses where escalation should not occur, for example if a task is marked as completed.

Turning Escalations On or Off

Each escalation level can be turned on or off depending on your requirements.

Adding Multiple Escalation Levels

You can add multiple escalation levels for the same task, each level can have its own timeframe and assigned user.

Example escalation flow

  • Initial task assigned to a team member

  • After 15 minutes, escalates to a supervisor

  • After another 15 minutes, escalates to a Head of Department

  • Further escalation can be set to a General Manager if required

Saving Your Changes

Once all escalation levels are configured

  1. Select Done on each level

  2. Select Update to save the task

What Happens Next

When a task is submitted escalations will automatically trigger if the task is not actioned. An escalation icon will appear on the task card when a task has escalated
