What to know about Manage Cases in Customer Service
You must be able to configure case creation, routing, assignment, SLAs, and escalation notifications using Dynamics 365 Customer Service components. The most important thing is to select the correct feature for each scenario: routing rules for assignment, SLA items for timers, and Power Automate for automation.
Configure automatic case creation from emails using Power Automate or built-in email-to-case.
Set up routing rules with workstreams and queues for workload-based agent assignment.
Define SLA items with pause conditions based on case status and action timers.
Create escalation rules and notifications using Power Automate or workflow processes.
Watch out for
Common Manage Cases in Customer Service exam traps
- ▸Assuming round-robin assignment is workload-based; workload-based routing requires the lowest workload assignment rule.
- ▸Forgetting that SLA pause conditions must be configured on the SLA item, not on the case status alone.
- ▸Using a synchronous workflow for escalation notifications instead of an asynchronous one, causing performance issues.
