From first ticket to root cause resolved—structured flow, enforced SLAs, and automation that stays auditable.
Define targets by priority, category, and business hours. SLA clocks pause automatically on "Waiting on Customer." Escalate before the breach happens — not after.
High-throughput ticket handling with full immutable timelines, public vs. internal comment separation, and pre-signed attachment uploads.
Rule-based routing by category, priority, or requester domain. First-match wins, fallback queues required, loop detection built in.
If-this-then-that automations with full run records. Idempotent, auditable, rate-limited. Guided playbooks for agents at scale.
Detect, route, and coordinate incidents with SLA-aware timelines. Drive MTTR down with pre-built response playbooks and stakeholder comms.
SLA compliance by queue, MTTR by category, backlog aging, and automation impact—built on materialized metrics so dashboards stay fast.
SSO setup wizards, granular role-permission matrix, integration management, data retention controls, and append-only audit logs for every configuration change.
Link tickets to assets and services for faster diagnosis. See related incidents per asset, ownership, and criticality at a glance. CSV import and relationship graph coming in v2.
Pre-built connectors with reliable sync, proper error handling, and configuration fully audited per tenant.
Explore how ItFlowDesk handles your most critical workflows — from first ticket to closed incident.
Set targets by priority, business hours, and calendar. ItFlowDesk escalates before breach — so you never find out about SLA failures from your customers.
First-match routing rules with category, priority, requester domain, and tag conditions. Fallback queues required, loop detection built in.
Build if-this-then-that playbooks with run records on every execution. Idempotent, rate-limited, fully auditable automation at scale.
SLA compliance trends, MTTR breakdowns, volume forecasting, and team performance — all in one operational view.
Compliance controls, enterprise identity standards, and audit-ready architecture from day one.
Explicit tenant_id on every entity. Cross-tenant access impossible at app and data layer—tested in CI.
SSO config wizard in the admin console. Domain-detected login routing. SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle management.
Every configuration change, permission update, and integration event is logged with before/after state. Queryable and exportable.
Encryption at rest and in transit, resilience architecture, backup/restore tested, and data retention controls managed per tenant.
Auth endpoints, webhook ingest, and attachment upload all rate-limited. Webhook signatures validated. Secrets in dedicated vault.
Controls mapped to AICPA Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Privacy. Evidence collection from day one.
DPA available. Subprocessor list maintained. Data residency and retention controls per tenant. Privacy-by-design architecture.
Granular roles enforced on every API endpoint. Publish gates on SLA, routing, and automation changes controlled by role.
Start with core ticketing. Grow into automation, deep reporting, and enterprise governance.
Yes — both are first-class integrations available on the Enterprise plan. The admin console includes an SSO setup wizard that validates configuration before enabling. SCIM provisioning is also available for automated user lifecycle management.
Every entity in the platform carries an explicit tenant_id. Cross-tenant access is blocked at both the application layer and enforced in our RBAC middleware. Isolation tests run in CI on every deploy.
Business-hour calendars and holiday schedules are supported in the Growth plan and above. SLA clocks pause automatically on "Waiting on Customer" status and respect your configured calendar. Due times are computed consistently across restarts to prevent drift.
Yes. Slack and Teams notifications are available on all plans. Jira bi-directional sync is in Growth and above. ServiceNow Table API linking is available on Enterprise. All integration configs are tenant-scoped and fully audited.
