Best Practices for Smooth Operations
Creating effective automated case routing in Dynamics 365 requires planning and consideration of your operational needs. Here are some hints and tips to get you up and running swifty.
Know Your Criteria
Define what matters most when it comes to assigning cases. Is it case type? Or location? or product?
Create Routing Rules
Dynamics makes this easy. Set up rules based on your criteria. For example, sending billing issues straight to your finance department, or technical questions straight to your technical team.
Prioritise
Not all cases will need the same priority level, make sure urgent issues get to the front of the line.
Test and Refine
Don't just set your rules and forget them. Test your rules, see what works, and adjust as needed.
Integrate with Queues
Compare Dynamics 365 Customer queues to an organised to-do list. Cases land in the right queues so it's easy to see who’s doing what.
Keep an eye on things
Monitoring is the key to continuous improvements. Use Dynamics 365 Customer Service analytics and reporting tools to assess the effectiveness of your routing rules. Adjust where necessary.
Provide Training
Provide your team with effective training, and ensure they understand how the system works and what the procedures are. A little training can go a long way.
Remember SLAs
If you have service-level agreements, consider them when creating your rules. Cases close to breaching an SLA need extra attention so need to be given a higher priority.
Clear Escalation Plans
In some cases, a specialist is needed. Ensuer there is a clearly defined process for high-priority cases to ensure a swift resolution.
