Efficient case handling is critical to delivering exceptional customer service. In Salesforce Service Cloud, Queues offer a smart way to distribute workload across support teams. Instead of assigning cases to individuals, queues allow records to be assigned to a group—ensuring that no customer issue goes unnoticed and that agents can pick up tasks based on availability and expertise.
What Are Queues?
Queues are holding areas for records such as Cases, Leads, or custom objects that require attention. In Service Cloud, they’re commonly used to manage incoming support cases. Rather than assigning a case directly to a user, it’s placed in a queue where any member of the queue can claim and work on it.
This approach promotes flexibility, collaboration, and faster response times.
How to Set Up a Queue in Salesforce
Follow these steps to create a queue:
Navigation: Go to Setup → Quick Find → Queues
Click “New” and define the following:
Label: e.g., Technical Support Queue
Supported Object: e.g., Case
Queue Members: Select users or public groups who should have access
Save the queue
Routing Cases: Use Assignment Rules, Flows, or Process Builder to automatically route cases to the queue
Benefits of Using Queues:
Improved Case Distribution Ensures a balanced workload across support agents
Team Collaboration Multiple agents can view and claim cases, promoting shared responsibility
Scalability Easily add or remove members as your team grows or shifts
