Getting Started

Escalated is an open-source, embeddable support ticket system with a shared Inertia.js UI. Install the backend adapter for your framework, add the npm package for the frontend, and you're ready to go.

Headless mode -- Escalated can also run without the built-in UI, providing only the backend API, events, and commands. See Configuration for details.
