Introducing Voice SLAs: Measure Your Team's Call Performance with Confidence

Keeping customers from waiting too long on the phone is key to great support.
We’re introducing Voice SLAs, a simple way to track how quickly your team answers calls and keep service levels on target.

🎯 What is Voice SLA?

Voice SLA lets you set a clear goal for phone support: the percentage of calls answered within a specific time (for example, 80% within 30 seconds).

Once set up, Gorgias automatically tracks every eligible inbound call against your goal, so you always know if you’re meeting expectations.

βœ… Eligible calls: inbound calls received during business hours, excluding cancelled calls and callbacks.

πŸ“Š Why it matters

  • Monitor performance at a glance – Track achievement rates over any period and spot issues early.

  • Optimize staffing – Identify patterns in breached SLAs to adjust coverage.

  • Industry-standard measurement – Wait time starts when a caller enters the queue.

  • Accurate historical reporting – SLA updates don’t retroactively change past measurements.
