Salesforce Case Triage Agent
Reads every new Salesforce case, leaves an internal comment with the category, the likely cause and the questions to ask, and finds the related case before an agent starts from scratch. Cases arrive with a subject line, no context, and a queue nobody has sorted, so the first agent who opens one spends ten minutes rebuilding what happened. This agent gets there first: it reads the case, classifies it against rules you write in plain English, checks whether that account has reported the same thing before, and leaves one internal comment with the category, the likely cause, and the exact questions to ask. It never writes to the customer, so it can be wrong without being embarrassing. ## What people use it for - **Agents open a triaged queue** - Every case already carries a category, a suspected cause and a suggested owner when someone picks it up. The first ten minutes of every case, the part nobody enjoys, is already done. - **Repeat reports get connected** - A SOQL search runs before the comment is written, so the third report of the same export failure arrives with the earlier case numbers attached rather than being handled as a fresh problem by a different agent. - **Ask the right questions once** - Thin cases get a private note listing exactly what the agent should ask for, taken from your rules. That is one round trip with the customer instead of three. - **Escalations surface immediately** - Only cases matching your escalation criteria reach Slack, with the case number and the line that qualified it. The channel stays quiet enough that people still look at it. ## Before you fork **What does it need connected?** A Salesforce credential that can read cases, run SOQL, add case comments and update the specific fields you want set, plus one Slack channel for escalations. During setup you write your triage rules and your escalation criteria in plain English. It works on the standard Case object, so there is nothing to install in your org. **Can it message my customers or close cases?** No. It has no public comment or email tool at all, so a customer can never receive anything it writes, and its one comment per case is marked internal. It updates only the fields you name in your triage rules and cannot close, merge, or delete a case. A wrong category is a dropdown change for whoever picks up the case. **What does it cost to run?** One run per new case, and each run is a read, two searches and a short comment, so the cost tracks case volume rather than org size. A team taking 60 cases a day is 60 small runs. If a large share of your cases come from automated monitoring, point the trigger at the queues humans actually work.
Salesforce Lead Router
Scores each new Salesforce lead against your rules, checks it against the leads and contacts already in the org, assigns the real owner, and tells that owner in Slack. Salesforce assignment rules match a picklist and nothing more. They cannot read the sentence where a buyer says they need this before an October audit, and they cannot notice that the person filling in your form works at an account you have served for two years. This agent reads the lead the way a sales manager would, queries the org for anybody who already knows that company, sets a real owner, and writes down why. Junk keeps its unassigned status and gets a note explaining itself. ## What people use it for - **Ownership, not a suggestion** - Setting the owner puts the record into the list views and queues where that rep already works. Nobody has to spot a message and remember to claim something afterwards. - **Two objects, one duplicate check** - Leads and contacts are both queried before a score exists, so the fourth person from a customer you already serve is routed as an existing relationship instead of pitched cold by somebody new. - **Routing a picklist cannot do** - Territory by field value breaks the moment intent lives in free text. Rules written in English let a lead be routed on what they actually asked for, including a deadline mentioned in passing. - **Every route is auditable** - Each assignment leaves a note naming the rule, the values behind it and the duplicate ids found. A disputed route gets settled by reading the record rather than by arguing at pipeline review. ## Before you fork **What does it need inside Salesforce?** A connection allowed to read the Lead object, run SOQL across leads and contacts, update the owner and your routing fields, and create notes. You then write two things: the routing rules, and a team map naming real Salesforce users or queues, spelled the way your org spells them, since it assigns to whatever you wrote. Everything runs on standard objects, so nothing is installed. **Can it convert a lead or overwrite what a rep entered?** Neither one. Conversion is not among its tools, so no account, contact or opportunity is ever created by it. It writes the owner plus the routing fields you named, and leaves status, rating, source, campaign and free text alone. A value that looks wrong gets described in the note rather than corrected. **Our campaigns dump leads in bursts, what does that look like?** Every lead landing is one short run, so a 400 row list import is 400 runs on the day you import it. Point the trigger at the sources people actually work, and load purchased or scraped lists somewhere it is not watching. Disqualified leads finish early because they stop at the note and never reach Slack.
