# Escalation

Escalation allows you to configure automated SLA notifications when a ticket is close to breaching or has already breached. You can define conditions, escalation sequences, and choose who should be notified (Users, Tags, or Roles).

Escalations are configured inside an **SLA Profile**, and you can set multiple conditions based on SLA timers (Response/Resolution), priority, and breach status.
