MB-230 Practice Question: Configure Representative Experience and Routing
An agent is using the Customer Service workspace and needs to perform a series of repetitive tasks, including sending a standard email and closing the case. Which productivity tool should the consultant implement to automate these steps for the agent?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often suggest 'Business Process Flows' to automate these tasks. While BPFs guide the process, they cannot trigger record updates or multi-step automation like sending emails or closing cases automatically.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Macros

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Smart Assist suggestions
Why it's wrong here
Smart Assist provides AI-driven recommendations for knowledge articles and similar cases but does not execute multi-step automated actions for the agent. It is intended for information discovery and decision support rather than the automation of UI-driven tasks and record updates across the workspace.
- ✗
Agent scripts
Why it's wrong here
Agent scripts provide a guided workflow or talking points for agents to follow during a customer interaction. While they can trigger macros, the scripts themselves are textual guides and do not perform the underlying technical automation of sending emails or closing records independently.
- ✓
Macros
Why this is correct
Macros are specifically built to automate sequential tasks that an agent would otherwise perform manually. By using the macro designer, consultants can create a sequence of actions like opening an email form, populating data, and updating case status, which agents trigger to save significant time.
- ✗
Quick replies
Why it's wrong here
Quick replies are pre-defined text snippets that agents can quickly insert into a chat or conversation. They are useful for speeding up communication but do not have the capability to interact with the system logic or automate record-level changes like closing a case or sending emails.
