Our support team rotates who handles incoming Conversations and Tickets. In the Conversation inbox, we can automate assignment round robin style to allow multiple agents to work a given inbox while ensuring no Conversations slip through the cracks. We would like a consistent way of working to carry across to Tickets.
We have multiple pipelines, with Tickets created from form submissions via various workflows. Currently, we can only set the workflow to assign a Ticket to no one, the Contact owner or a specific user. We need to spread the workload around by allowing a round robin type of Ticket assignment amongst multiple users (agents).
Request:
Enable automatic Ticket assignment rotation from within Workflows, similar to how lead rotation concept works. Ideally, we would be able to assign a weight to each agent in cases where there are primary agents for a certain pipeline and then support people who could help out when the pipeline is very full of Tickets in busy seasons.
Note: I can do this now with the Rotate Contact Owner step and then assign to Contact Owner in the Create Ticket step in the flow, but in many cases we don't want to change the primary owner of the Contact record, only the Ticket assignment.
We created a separate ticket workflow to handle the round robin assignment of the ticket without impacting the Contact ownership. What we still would like to see is a smart workflow that:
takes into account how many open tickets any given assignee has open (unworked) and balances the assignment load across the team
allows weighting so some users could be given a heavier load for certain pipelines
out of office syncing so we do not have to update every workflow each time one of our team members is out of office and therefore should be taken out of the assignment rotation
@CPSCB We would also love to know how you created that workflow. It will be very useful for us too. Will be really grateful if you could please share that with us here or DM me @AreebAhmad
Auto assignment of tickets in a round-robin fashion taking into account the current workload of agents + their out office status is of utmost importance. That is exactly what we are struggling with!
@CPSCB yes - would be great to know how auto assignment of tickets in a round-robin fashion taking into account the current workload of agents + their out office status was achieved. Thanks
@CPSCB I would also love to know how you set up a workflow to assign tickets round robin style if you're willing to share how you set up that workflow; I've had little success setting up any workflows to try and configure this.
@CPSCB I would also love to know how you have created this workflow. Struggling with the same issue right now. Any insight would be extremely useful and appreciated.
Honestly it's completely insane to me that this isn't just a basic function of HubSpot. This is a very rudimentary feature of any other support desk. HubSpot needs to make this happen.
