Round Robin assignment
Planned
Posted May 28, 2009
It would be nice to be able to setup an Automation or a Trigger that \*automatically\* assigned new / unassigned / or tickets in a praticular group to an agent using a Round Robin algorithm. We currently use an APEX app in SalesForce that does this. I am using the Zendesk suggestion of a "First Line" group where an agent can then assign those tickets to another agent. \*But\*, our other help desk operators are greatly suspicious of any human that tragically chooses to play that "assigner" role and inevitably plot their demise.
If this type of automation is possible using the exiting features, please do share. :-)

Hi Nicole,
Are you able to confirm if this is planned to just be in development later this year, or if this is planned to be released before the end of the year?
Thanks,
SP

Micah, that's a 3rd-party app, which unfortunately will not work for us. Eagerly awaiting this as core functionality.

"...This continues to be planned for development later this year. No new updates at this point in time"
Is that statement still valid?

Hi Barry Neary, will there be any special requirements to access the EAP (one published obviously)? Because our team would love to test this new functionality.

No updates since Barry Neary's comment right above yours, from February.

thanks for the tips and connections! You're correct; in many help desk environments, ticket assignment is done in more complex ways. Chris' paper is also extremely fascinating and demonstrates a good approach to a "fair" assignment method, which is particularly useful for a bigger or backlogged help desk. However, I'd be OK with something a little simpler (at least in version 1), with my main concern, as you know, being that the *assignment* duty be completed automatically in some fashion (no human involved).

Is there an update on the GA release for routing?

The routing EAP is still active here if you want to take a look at what it includes: What is the Routing EAP?
They're still releasing new features for this EAP with the next release expected some time in June.
I hope this helps!

Hi Brett,
Thank you! Is the EAP closed? Are you saying that it's expected to go GA in June or the EAP is still going to be in progress in June?
Thanks,
Jess
