MB-230 Practice Question: Configure Representative Experience and Routing
You are configuring unified routing for a customer service organization. The organization wants to route cases based on the case priority and the customer's region. You have created a workstream with a routing rule set that includes conditions for priority and region. However, you notice that cases with high priority and region 'North America' are not being routed to the correct queue. You have verified that the queue exists and agents are available. What should you check first?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that all matching rules are evaluated or that the most specific rule always wins, when in fact order determines precedence.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The order of the routing rules in the rule set
Routing rules in a rule set are evaluated sequentially, and the first rule whose conditions are met determines the queue. If a less specific rule precedes a more specific one, it can capture cases intended for the specific rule. Therefore, the first thing to verify is the order of rules to ensure specific conditions are checked before general ones.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The workstream's channel configuration
Why it's wrong here
Channel configuration determines which channels (e.g., email, chat) the workstream handles, but it does not influence rule evaluation order or condition matching. Since the case is being routed somewhere, the channel is likely correct. The misrouting is due to rule logic, not channel setup.
- ✗
The capacity profile assigned to the queue
Why it's wrong here
Capacity profiles control how many work items an agent can handle, but they do not affect which queue a case is routed to. If agents are available and the queue exists, capacity is not the reason for misrouting. The issue is more likely with the rule evaluation logic than with capacity settings.
- ✓
The order of the routing rules in the rule set
Why this is correct
Routing rules are evaluated in order, and the first matching rule is applied. If a rule with broader conditions (e.g., only priority) appears before a more specific rule (priority and region), the broader rule may match first and route the case incorrectly. Checking the rule order ensures that the most specific rules are evaluated before general ones.
- ✗
The presence of a fallback queue
Why it's wrong here
A fallback queue is used when no rules match, but here a rule is matching incorrectly, not failing to match. The presence of a fallback queue would not cause a case to be routed to the wrong queue if a rule matches. The problem is that the wrong rule is matching first, so fallback is not the primary concern.
