1. Create Support Ticket

3. Fetch Customer Profile
Retrieve customer contact details and tier (e.g., VIP, Standard) from the 'Customers' data model.

6. Check SLA Threshold
Retrieve the 'SLA Due Date' from the ticket entry to check for upcoming breaches.
7. Create Escalation Task

Send an automated email to the customer informing them their ticket has been moved to a specialist.
9. Alert Support Manager
