Connect to IntercomMonitor Intercom SLAs in Slack
SLA breaches are rarely surprises — they are usually the predictable result of a trend nobody was watching. Putting SLA metrics in Slack, where your team already works, keeps them in the peripheral vision of every team lead.
The manual monitoring approach
- 1Check Intercom SLA reports weekly or after a customer complaint.
- 2Identify breaches and their root causes.
- 3Update staffing or routing rules to prevent recurrence.
The problem: After-the-fact SLA monitoring is a fire drill. You fix the breach that already happened, not the trend that caused it.

Does Supportman support custom SLA targets?
Supportman reads SLA data from Intercom, which supports SLA targets configured in Intercom Settings → Inboxes. Your custom SLA targets in Intercom will be reflected in Supportman's digest.
Can I get an alert when we approach an SLA breach?
Real-time SLA breach alerting is on the roadmap. The current digest is a weekly summary view.
