Email that creates Case and is assigned to a Queue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello, 

I have created a queue in dynamics to auto create cases. When I sent an email in Outlook it creates a case to the mailbox just fine, however the case is not assigned to the queue. How can I set it to where when an email is sent to the queue and it creates a case it also stays in the queue

I have the same question (0)

    Hi

    By design, the Automatic Record Creation and Update Rules in Dynamics 365 will automatically deactivate the EMAIL's Queue Item during the CASE creation process. After the CASE is created, you will need to define additional rules to decide what the next ACTION should be. This provides the user with the flexibility to choose a different path for the CASE, if they desired. In your scenario, you would simply SPECIFY OTHER ACTIONS to Create the Queue Item:

    Map the Queue and the New Case created as the Queue Item accordingly:

    Once activated, you should now see the CASE appear in the defined queue, in place of the EMAIL.

    Thanks

    Nishkarsh Vaish is that within the Record Creation and Update Rule Item or somewhere else like Flow? In the end I am wanting that if the email is sent to the Queue email then I want the newly created case to be assigned to that specific Queue

    Is that screen within the Record Creation and Update Rule Item or somewhere else? The reason I ask is because if the email is sent to the Queue email then I want the newly created case assigned to the Queue on the email

    Hi codemonger,

    The screenshot that Nishkarsh provided above is in the Record Creation and Update Rule Item page.

    The full page just like following screenshot:

    pastedimage1613375858997v1.png

    Then the new case that created from email will appear in the specific queue, but email that sent to the queue will removed from the queue, which means that only one queue item that type is case.

    Testing:

    (1)send one email to queue 'support1'.

    (2)In Queue, only one queue item, and it is from case.

    pastedimage1613376467513v2.png

    But i found that email queue item not deleted from the support1 queue, it just changed to inactive status, and queue item sub-grid view only show active records, so make us just see only one queue item from case.

    So if you want to view queue item from email in the queue, you need remove status criteria from the 'items i am working on' view.

    Ok maybe this is the issue. My Screen for Record Creation and Update Rule does not look like that. I dont see where I can specify other actions when I am under Record Creation and Update Rule Item page.

    Hi codemonger,

    The Screen for Record Creation and Update Rule is newest version, if you want to add your own steps, you need add then in the flow.

    As you screenshot shown, don’t create two rules, one rule is ok.

    pastedimage1613454168272v3.png pastedimage1613454019985v1.png

    Clicking ‘Save and open Power Automate’ to open flow.

    In create case step,there is no need to change any settings.

    you just add one 'create a new record' step to create queue item.

    Save the flow and rule item and Record Creation and Update Rule, then active the rule to test again.

    That worked however It was create a new row rather than create a new record.
