Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure standard queue overflow rules to external email addresses
Why it's wrong here
Queue overflow rules cannot route live chat sessions to external orgs via email.
- ✓
Architect a cross-org integration using Omni-Channel API and Salesforce-to-Salesforce or REST APIs
Why this is correct
Cross-org integrations using APIs can synchronize work items and pass overflow cases securely between Salesforce instances.
