Decisions are deterministic, reviewable, and adjustable." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does this replace Salesforce assignment rules?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. It runs alongside them.

What it is ## Intelligent case routing, in plain terms. Salesforce case routing, done intelligently, is rules-based assignment that reads case context, agent state, and SLA targets together, then routes to the agent best placed to resolve. It replaces static round-robin and queue-based assignment with multi-factor logic. Standard Salesforce ships assignment rules and Omni-Channel. They handle the basic shape. Ortoo Orchestrator adds the skills matching, capacity weighting, and SLA-aware escalation that operations teams need to keep routing decisions defensible at scale. Why this matters ## Routing without context is routing that needs babysitting. Intelligent case routing in Salesforce starts from one premise: the assignment decision should reflect what the team actually knows about the case and the agent. When that decision is reduced to a queue and a round-robin, the team ends up working around it. Cases get reassigned manually. Senior agents pick the queue clean. Junior agents inherit work they aren't ready to handle. Visibility lives in spreadsheets. Ortoo Orchestrator evaluates skills, capacity, priority, and SLA against rules operations teams configure in Salesforce setup. The routing decision is logged, reportable, and adjustable without a release cycle. // HOW IT WORKS ## Triggered by case context. Not by who is watching the queue. 1. 01 // STEP 01 ### Read the case on arrival. Channel, priority, customer tier, region, language, and any custom field are evaluated the moment the case is created. The context the team would use manually is captured as data, not as tribal knowledge. 1. Case arrives Channel, priority 2. Read attributes Tier, region, language 3. Custom fields Captured as data Step 01 — Read 01 2. 02 // STEP 02 ### Score against live agent state. Skills, current workload, availability, and SLA risk are weighed together against the rules operations has defined. The match is deterministic and reviewable, not opaque. 1. Match skills Required vs available 2. Weigh capacity Live workload 3. Factor SLA risk Priority weighted Step 02 — Score 02 3. 03 // STEP 03 ### Assign, log, and escalate. The chosen agent gets the case, the decision is logged in Salesforce, and timers start. If no agent matches or the case stalls, the defined escalation path fires automatically. 1. Assign agent Decision recorded 2. Log in Salesforce Reviewable trail 3. Arm escalation Fires before breach Step 03 — Assign 03 What intelligent routing requires ## The three signals behind skills-based, defensible case routing. Intelligent routing isn't a feature. It is a decision built from three signals, evaluated together, every time a case arrives. [Book a demo ](/contact?intent=demo) ### Skills Agent expertise is mapped against case attributes in Salesforce, so specialist work reaches specialists by default. ### Capacity Workload limits are evaluated live so capacity-weighted routing distributes cases fairly across the team. ### SLA Priority and SLA risk weigh into the decision, so high-priority work gets surfaced instead of waiting its turn. Static rules vs intelligent routing ## The same backlog, decided very differently. Static rules ignore the parts of the decision that matter most. Intelligent routing reads them on every case. Before Native rules only 1. 01 Round-robin or queue catch-all 2. 02 Skills tracked in spreadsheets 3. 03 Capacity assumed, not measured 4. 04 Escalation handled manually The team works around the rules instead of with them. After With Ortoo Orchestrator 1. 01 Multi-factor decision per case 2. 02 Skills mapped inside Salesforce 3. 03 Capacity weighted at assignment 4. 04 Escalation fires before SLA breach The decision is recorded, reportable, and tunable by operations. Where it fits ## Works with the Salesforce tools you already use. ### With Salesforce Omni-Channel Service Cloud Omni-Channel handles channel distribution. Intelligent case routing sits on the assignment decision itself, adding the skills, capacity, and SLA logic Omni-Channel does not evaluate. The two run together. ### For Salesforce Field Service Field Service Field cases require routing that reads location, certification, equipment, and travel. The same engine extends to Work Orders, Service Appointments, and Service Resources, with each rule visible to operations. ### Intelligent routing vs lead routing Service Ops Lead routing optimises for speed-to-contact and territory. Case routing optimises for skills match, SLA handling, and capacity. Ortoo Orchestrator handles both inside one engine, so revenue and service teams share infrastructure. Built for service operations ## Routing logic operations teams own, end to end. ### Configured by operations, not by developers. Rules live in Salesforce setup. Adding a skill, lifting a capacity limit, or rerouting a region is a configuration change, not a release. The team that owns the SLA owns the rule. ### One step inside a broader workflow. Routing is one stage in an orchestrated process. Triage, routing, AI-assisted classification, and SLA escalation run together inside Salesforce, with one audit trail. ### Distribution you can see and adjust. Routing decisions are reported back to operations so imbalances surface before they turn into SLA misses. The people closest to the work adjust the rules directly. Skills Capacity SLA Region Tier Language Channel Priority Working hours Signals the rule evaluates Components of an intelligent routing rule ## Four elements every defensible routing rule covers. Ortoo Orchestrator provides the engine. The rule itself is configured by operations. ### Skills mapping Agent expertise is captured in Salesforce against the cases they handle, so specialist work reaches specialists. ### Capacity awareness ### Priority and SLA ### Exception handling // RULE CONFIG #### Tier-2 EMEA — billing skill channel Email, web priority \>= P2 region EMEA skills Billing, Tier-2 capacity < 75% utilization sla Respond 30m IF skill = Billing AND region = EMEA THEN route → EMEA-Billing-Pod, weight by capacity.

Ortoo Orchestrator evaluates skills alongside capacity and SLA state, runs natively in Salesforce, and is configured by operations without code. How do you set up skills-based routing in Salesforce? + Map agent skills against case attributes in Salesforce, then define the routing rule in setup. Operations owns it point-and-click, with no developer or release cycle, and it runs alongside your existing assignment rules and Omni-Channel rather than replacing them. Can Salesforce handle complex case routing? + Native assignment rules and Omni-Channel handle straightforward, single-factor routing. For complex routing that weighs skills, capacity, SLA, and priority together and keeps adapting after assignment, Ortoo Orchestrator adds that decision layer natively inside Salesforce. What makes routing 'intelligent' vs standard assignment? + Intelligent routing evaluates multiple signals (skills, capacity, SLA, priority, region) together against operations-owned rules, instead of relying on round-robin or single-factor queue logic. Decisions are deterministic, reviewable, and adjustable. Does this replace Salesforce assignment rules? + No. It runs alongside them. Native rules stay where they fit; Ortoo Orchestrator handles the cases that need multi-factor logic and SLA-aware escalation. How does it interact with Omni-Channel? + Omni-Channel handles channel-level distribution. Intelligent case routing sits on the assignment decision itself. Together they cover channel routing and multi-factor assignment. Who configures the routing rules? + Operations teams, in Salesforce setup. Rule changes do not require a developer or a release cycle. Can it route custom objects? + Yes. Any Salesforce object can participate in routing workflows, including custom objects and Work Orders. How does AI fit in? + AI is used for classification, prioritisation, and assist; deterministic routing logic stays in control. Teams can introduce AI gradually with human-in-the-loop fallback and BYOM support. What changes first when this goes live? + Manual reassignment drops, capacity balance improves, and SLA breaches caught reactively become escalations triggered proactively.
