MB-230 Practice Question: Configure Representative Experience and Routing
You are configuring a workstream for a new voice channel. The organization requires that calls are routed to agents who have the 'Spanish' skill and are available. If no such agent is available within 60 seconds, the call should be redirected to a backup queue. Which TWO components must you configure to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that routing rules alone can enforce skill-based routing and timeout, but overflow conditions are required for time-based redirection.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set up a workstream with a voice channel and assign a queue that includes agents with the Spanish skill.
To route voice calls to agents with the Spanish skill and redirect after 60 seconds if none are available, you need a workstream that uses a queue with those skilled agents, and an overflow condition that triggers after the timeout to a backup queue. The other options do not enforce the skill requirement or the timeout redirection. Together, these two components provide the necessary routing and fallback behavior.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a routing rule that checks the customer's language preference and routes to a Spanish-speaking agent.
Why it's wrong here
While routing rules can route based on language, the requirement is to route to agents with the Spanish skill, not based on customer language. The scenario specifies agents must have the skill, not that the customer's language triggers routing. This option adds unnecessary complexity and does not guarantee the skill requirement is met.
- ✗
Set up a capacity profile that limits each agent to one voice call and assign it to the queue.
Why it's wrong here
Capacity profiles control how many concurrent sessions an agent can handle, but they do not enforce skill-based routing or overflow timing. While they can prevent overloading, they do not ensure that only Spanish-skilled agents receive the call or that the call overflows after 60 seconds. This does not meet the core requirements.
- ✗
Enable sentiment analysis to detect frustration and escalate to a supervisor if the wait exceeds 60 seconds.
Why it's wrong here
Sentiment analysis is used to detect customer emotion and can trigger escalations, but it does not address the need to redirect to a backup queue after a time limit. The requirement is about agent skill and timeout, not sentiment. This option is irrelevant to the scenario and would not ensure the call is routed correctly.
- ✓
Set up a workstream with a voice channel and assign a queue that includes agents with the Spanish skill.
Why this is correct
The workstream defines the routing for the voice channel, and the queue must contain agents with the required skill. This ensures that only qualified agents receive the call. Without this, calls could go to unskilled agents, violating the skill requirement. This is a necessary component to achieve skill-based routing for voice.
- ✓
Configure an overflow condition on the workstream to redirect to a backup queue after 60 seconds.
Why this is correct
Overflow conditions allow you to specify a time limit and an alternate queue. Setting a 60-second overflow to a backup queue ensures that if no skilled agent is available, the call is redirected. This directly addresses the timeout requirement. Without an overflow rule, the call would wait indefinitely or follow default behavior.
