Ticketing, SLA timers and escalation to voice, all inside WhatsApp

A customer message opens a ticket. The AI agent answers what the knowledge base can answer; anything else escalates to a person, and to a WhatsApp voice call if it needs talking through.

Ticketing
Native, or your Zendesk, Dynamics or SAP desk
Escalation
Chat to voice without changing channel
SLA
Per priority, per queue, per contract
Where it breaks today

The ticket and the conversation are two different things

The customer explains the problem on WhatsApp, then an email asks them to explain it again in a portal.
Escalating to a phone call means a new channel, a new queue position and a lost history.
SLA clocks run in the ticketing tool but the channel has no idea, so breaches are found after the fact.
Knowledge base answers are copy-pasted by hand, inconsistently, by whoever is on shift.
How whtapis runs it
01 Message opens the ticket Priority, category and contract are set from the customer record and the message content.
02 AI answers the known The AI agent replies from your knowledge base, with a confidence threshold you set before it hands over.
03 Escalate in place A person takes over the same thread. If it needs voice, the call starts inside WhatsApp with the ticket open.
04 Resolve and close Disposition, resolution note and transcript are written to the ticket, and CSAT is asked on the same channel.

The team using it

Tier one, tier two, and the customer in between.

The thread stays the same as the ticket moves between people — nobody asks the customer to start again.
