**IT tickets with SLA tracking** require three things working together: a reliable intake, phases that reflect how the team actually resolves issues, and timing captured without anyone logging it.

## Why internal IT support goes unmeasured

IT teams are usually the last to get a system, because they are busy running everyone else's.

- Requests arriving by message, email, and in person
- No priority beyond who asked most recently
- Resolution time unmeasured, so staffing cannot be argued for
- The same questions answered repeatedly

## What the pipeline needs

| Component          | What it does                                                 |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Email intake**   | Messages to a dedicated address create tickets automatically |
| **Phases**         | Reflect how issues are actually resolved                     |
| **SLA per stage**  | Time captured automatically as cards move                    |
| **AI agent**       | Answers, classifies, and closes routine tickets              |
| **Knowledge base** | Documentation the agent answers from                         |

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Set up the native email address in **Jestor** so requests create tickets in the first phase.
2. Define the phases and enable log metrics so timing is captured.
3. Attach your internal documentation as the **AI** agent's knowledge base.
4. Select which fields the agent may edit — status, priority, category.
5. Add a confirmation checkbox on critical processes so a person approves before the agent acts.

## Why choose Jestor for ITSM?

**Jestor** lets the agent handle a ticket end to end — replying, classifying, filling fields, and closing when the requester confirms satisfaction — while the field permissions keep it inside defined boundaries.

Resolution can also be classified by how much AI contributed, from fully human to fully AI, which gives an IT team the evidence to expand automation to the next process.
