Route Work Items to Skills

Automatically route work items to qualified support reps based on their specific skills. You can achieve this using skills-based routing rules, an Omni-Channel flow, or a combination of both. For instance, to conditionally assign specific skill requirements to work items using an Omni-Channel flow, add a Decision action to establish the conditions that determine which set of skills are applied to each work item and add a Skill Requirements action to define a set of skills.
