    StanGromer I mean to escalate a topic/message to another system, for example to Salesforce as described here: https://community.khoros.com/t5/Integrating-with-Salesforce/Escalate-community-messages-to-a-Salesforce-case/ta-p/143274 or E-Mail. We are not using Salesforce, we are using this feature to escalate a topic as an e-mail. And I would like to be able to use this feature with the API so that we can implement this feature in another context. Unfortunately this seems not be possible. 

    Thank you SyedSa for confirmation. Although it is not the answer I hoped to receive.

    waldemarhelm - We're you looking for it to automatically escalate or the manual option (or both?). On manual, we created our own for tickets to flow into Zendesk. We just have a button to allow Mods/Admins to escalate/generate a Zendesk ticket. Automatically doing it I imagine would be a bit more complex, but couldn't you run a job at intervals to pick up those that need to escalate to X location.

    Manually. An e-mail is then sent from the Khoros platform to a mailbox. We are currently doing a UX redesign of our community and wanted to optimize this function as well. At the moment the user clicks on an "Escalate" button and is then forwarded to a page where he can enter the reason for the escalation and other information. Then the form is sent and the platform generates an email with this information and sends it. We would like to remove the forwarding to an extra page. When the button is clicked, the user should remain on the same page and a modal with the input fields should open (like in your screenshot).
