Alerts not Firing

Distribution alerts are raised where specified deadlines are missed. However, its important to note that only active records are monitored for alerting. So if your Lead / Case is no longer in an active status then alerts will not be raised. 

 

Example scenario

Lets say you have a Distribution Team with an active status definition which includes "New" and "Contacted".  You also have an alert defined for 30 minutes where Status equals "Contacted".

 

In this scenario if a lead is assigned with a status of New and not touched for 30 minutes an alert would be raised. However, if the rep moved the lead to a status of Unqualified, the alert would not fire because Unqualified is not considered to be active. The lead would be ignored.
