Queue Management

In order to create queues, you need admin or social manager permissions. A queue has a set of active users and requires a criteria that tells you what items go in the queue. Queues are prioritized, so the highest queue that matches an item will receive the action.

  • All items that do not match a queue will end up in the Default Queue.

Active Users

These users are the ones that are currently assigned to a queue and can receive items from it. They'll also need permissions to write into the queue to respond to messages. In order to learn more about the role permissions, go to:

Queue Criteria

This criteria is defined by a Saved Search, which will automatically place items into queues as they come in. These are usually advanced searches, which can be, based on various things

  • Tags: Any tag that was pre-defined in the system.

  • Source: Where the conversation occurred

  • Score: Likes, Reactions and other reasons a message was trending

  • Keywords: Any keyword found in the thread or message

  • Users: Created by a specific user

  • ...and more

or any combination of criteria. For how you setup these searches, read more below:
