    I want to create a case escalation workflow

    I want to trigger escalation email on a dynamic time. What I mean is that customer A has a different SLA to customer B in their contract in CRM. The esclation therefore depends on the contract the customer has and I dont want to hard code the wait time incase the SLA is ever changed at the contract level.Any thoughts?

    Regards

    Hi Raji,

    If i understand  correctly what you need is a workflow with conditional statements. The statements will ensure tha the workflow wait time is set to the correct value for the contract type.

    An alternative to Hassan's suggestion would eb to add the escalation time to the form and populate it through jscript. Then run the workflow off this. If it changes the workflow will automatically adjust.
