Ticket first-response timestamp reporting property (distinct from SLA breach alerting)

Outcome. Every ticket gets a stamped first-response timestamp property the moment it leaves its initial status, so reporting on response speed does not depend on the SLA feature being turned on.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it when you want a first-response timestamp for custom reports (funnel, average time to first touch) independent of Service Hub's built-in SLA tracking.
  • UseUse it on portals where the SLA feature is off, not licensed for every pipeline, or configured differently from what this reporting property needs.
  • SkipDo not use it as an SLA breach alert. It stamps a moment in time. It does not compare that moment to a target and does not warn before a deadline. Use the native SLA feature (Settings > Objects > Tickets > SLA) for breach alerting.
  • SkipDo not use it if "first response" must mean an actual agent-sent email reply rather than a status or stage change. This fiche uses the ticket's first status movement as the proxy signal, not true reply detection. (check in your portal: whether the current portal exposes a native workflow trigger keyed specifically to a first agent reply, as opposed to a general status or stage change, for teams that need the stricter definition)
