For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to **Setup** | **Chatter Settings** and selecting **Enable**. For details, see [Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_chatter_default_off.htm&type=5&language=en_US). 1.

By default, cases created from questions are assigned to the moderator who escalates the question. You can write a workflow rule that automatically adds cases that were created from questions to a queue so agents can claim them. ## Add the Question from Chatter Field to the Case Detail View When a case is created from a question in Chatter, the Question from Chatter field on case detail pages displays a link to the original question. This field helps agents quickly navigate to the feed. ### Required Editions

User Permissions Needed
To create a case from a question in Salesforce:

Moderate Chatter OR Modify All Data

AND

Create on cases
To create a case from a question in an Experience Cloud site:

Moderate Chatter OR Modify All Data OR Moderate Experiences Feeds

AND

Create on cases
1. Navigate to the question in the feed. 2. Select **Escalate to Case** in the action dropdown menu. ![Escalate Action](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/communities/images/qtc_escalate_action.png) A window appears that’s pre-populated with the case subject, contact, and description. Unless Question-to-Case has a queue associated with it, the case is automatically assigned to you. 3. If needed, edit the case details. 4. Create the case. After a case is created from a Chatter question, the customer who asked the question receives an email notifying them that a case was created from their question. The email provides the case number and a link to the case. Agents can respond to the question directly from the case feed using the action in the publisher. Agents choose who can view the response by selecting either “Customer Only” or “Everyone”. They can also navigate to the original question from the case’s detail page by clicking the link in the Question from Chatter field. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/images/icon_note.png) Note You can also create a flow to automatically create a case from unresolved questions. Flows related to Question-to-Case act on the Feed Item object and evaluate whether question posts meet your escalation criteria. You can create flow variables based on several Feed Item fields, including: - BestCommentId: The ID of the comment that was selected as the best answer. If no comment has been selected as the best answer, this field is null. - CommentCount: The number of comments on a question. - LikeCount: The number of likes on a question. Other things to consider: - Each flow variable’s data type must match the feed item field’s data type. CommentCount and LikeCount are number fields, while BestCommentId is a text field. - The creation of a feed item can trigger a flow, but updates to feed items (such as likes and comments) can’t. Depending on your use case, you might need to specify how much time must pass before a related flow runs.
