MB-230 Extend Customer Service Practice Question
You are configuring Omnichannel for Customer Service for a company that wants to automatically route chat conversations to agents based on the customer's product interest. The product interest is captured by a pre-chat survey question. Which component should you use to route the conversation to the appropriate queue?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the workstream, which defines the routing framework, with the routing rule that actually evaluates conditions and directs the conversation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Routing rule
Routing rules in Omnichannel for Customer Service evaluate conditions such as pre-chat survey responses and route conversations to the appropriate queue. They are the decision-making component that enables conditional routing based on customer input. Workstreams define the channel and routing type, queues receive conversations, and the chat widget collects input, but none of these make the routing decision.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Queue
Why it's wrong here
A queue is a container that holds conversations waiting for agents. It does not evaluate pre-chat survey responses or make routing decisions. Queues are the destination of routing rules, not the decision-making component. Therefore, a queue alone cannot route based on product interest; it simply receives conversations that have been routed to it.
- ✗
Workstream
Why it's wrong here
A workstream defines the channel and routing configuration but does not directly evaluate pre-chat survey responses to determine the queue. It sets the overall routing framework, including the channel and the routing type, but the actual decision based on survey data is handled by routing rules within the workstream. Therefore, workstream alone is not the component that performs the conditional routing.
- ✗
Chat widget
Why it's wrong here
The chat widget is the client-side component that customers interact with to initiate a chat. It can be configured to ask pre-chat survey questions, but it does not perform routing decisions. Routing based on survey answers is handled server-side by routing rules. Thus, the chat widget is not the correct component for this requirement.
- ✓
Routing rule
Why this is correct
Routing rules in Omnichannel are used to evaluate conditions, such as pre-chat survey responses, and route conversations to specific queues. You can create a rule that checks the product interest question and directs the conversation to the appropriate queue. This is the correct component for conditional routing based on survey data.
