As our community grows, organization have to ensure that customers get quick answers to their questions. Question-to-Case allows moderators to escalate unresolved questions to cases from the question detail page. You can automate this escalation process using Process Builder or Workflow Rule. It allows you to use Question-to-Case and automation tool in several ways, for example
- Create a case from a question if, the question has received more than two likes without reply.
- Create a case from a question immediately if the question contains the word Urgent Help.
Let’s start with a business use case
Business Use case
Rachel Gillett is working as System administrator in Universal Container. She has received a requirement from the management, auto creates a case whenever a new question is created, which contains word Urgent help in the title.
Solution for the above business requirement
There are a few possible solutions for the above business scenario, but we’ll use Process Builder and Create a record action to solve the above business requirement. Follow the below instructions to create a Process Builder to resolving the above business requirement
1. Click on Name | Setup | App Setup | Create | Workflows & Approvals | Process Builder and click on the New button, Enter Name, API Name and then click on the Save button
2. To create a new process from scratch, click on the New Button available on Process Management page. A popup will appear where you have to enter the Name (Use Automatically Create Cases from Unresolved Questions as name), API Name and Description as shown in the below screenshot
