OmniChannel: Add to Agents Work When Manually Assigned a Case

Question

I am having a challenge with a recent requirement from my support team. We implemented OmniChannel and AgentWork is being routed through a mix of Skills and Queues.

Their new requirement is this: When a Case is manually assigned to an agent through the change owner modal window in the Salesforce UI, the Case should show up in the "My work" tab of OmniChannel and be counted as part of their current capacity.

I am trying to assign an AgentWork item to the User using this object but it is never recognized in the "My work" tab. I have built a Flow to go look for the AgentWork object assigned to the Case and to populate the PreferredUserId = OwnerId and ShouldSkipCapacityCheck = true as well as the AcceptDateTime = Now() and the various other fields.

Has anyone else been successful in this kind of requirement?

The Support Management gave me this as the business case: OmniChannel seems disconnected from getting capacity-based work through the Salesforce UI when work is manually routed to an Agent. We would like the calculated work to be based on both the work they accept in OmniChannel as well as the Cases that are manually assigned to them from a manager.

Answer 1

I have make a fell tests and looks like it is possible to the case show up in My Work tab

The only issue that I am still having is that this work item does not count against users capacity.

What you will have to do is create a PendingServiceRouting and then create the AgentWork, also you will need to enable Skill Routing, this seeams to not work with Queue routing only

e.g

Id userId = '';
Id serviceChannelId = '';
Id caseId = ''; //or another type of work

PendingServiceRouting psr = new PendingServiceRouting();
psr.CapacityPercentage = 50;
//psr.CapacityWeight = 6;
psr.CustomRequestedDateTime = System.now();
//psr.GroupId = '';
psr.IsReadyForRouting = false;
psr.PreferredUserId = userId;
psr.RoutingModel = 'MostAvailable';
psr.RoutingPriority = 1;
psr.RoutingType = 'SkillsBased';
psr.ServiceChannelId = serviceChannelId;
psr.WorkItemId = caseId;
insert psr;

AgentWork work = new AgentWork();
work.ServiceChannelId = serviceChannelId;
work.WorkItemId = caseId;
work.UserId = userId;
work.PendingServiceRoutingId = psr.Id;
insert work;

UPDATE 1

To affect the user capacity you will need also to populate the CapacityWeight on the AgentWork object

AgentWork work = new AgentWork();
...
work.CapacityWeight = 5;
...

UPDATE 2

Actually you don't need to create the PendingServiceRouting record, otherwise it can show up to another agent ( like the most available one ), so create only one or another, depending on your requirements
