Add a Global Queue to assign options to queues automatically

Updated 

Learn how you can create a Global Queue from the Platform Settings in order to assign various options to queues automatically.

Global Queues help you save time by automatically arranging inbound messages, suggestions, approvals, cases, and tasks. You can think of queues as invisible folders that house these various types of assets. Queues are filled either by manually adding to them, or by use of automation via Macros, Rules, or the Workflow Engine.

Using Queue Rules, you can automatically assign messages to queues without the need for any manual action. In this section, we will go over how to add Global Queues.

To add a Global Queue

  1. Click the New Tab icon. Under Governance Console, click All Settings within Listen.

  2. On the Platform Settings window, click the Manage Customer tab on the left and then search for Global Queues in the options.

  3. Upon clicking Global Queues, you will be taken to the Global Queues window. Click Add Queue in the top right corner.

  4. On the New Queue creation form, enter the details. For more information, see Global Queues — Fields & Descriptions.
