Omni-Channel in Salesforce

Omni-Channel is a comprehensive customer service solution that lets contact centers push work to their agents in real time. Omni-Channel lets you create work items from your Salesforce records―including cases, chats, leads, and custom objects―and route them to the most qualified, available agents in your organization, all in real time. Omni-Channel integrates seamlessly into the Salesforce console, so it’s easy for your support agents to use.

With Omni-Channel, you can manage the priority of work items to make sure that critical assignments get taken care of quickly. You can manage your agents’ capacity and availability for work to ensure that they’re given only the number of assignments that they can handle. You can also define which agents can work on different types of assignments. Best of all, Omni-Channel routes all of these assignments to the correct agents automatically. Agents no longer have to pick and choose work items manually from a queue, and managers no longer have to triage or dispatch work to agents. Work is served to the most qualified available agent in real time!

Default Presence Configuration in Omni-Channel
When you enable Omni-Channel in your organization, Salesforce creates a presence configuration for you, called the Default Presence Configuration. All your agents are assigned to that configuration automatically. However, you can create a presence configuration and assign individual agents to it to customize Omni-Channel settings for a subset of your agents. If you reassign agents to a custom presence configuration, they’re excluded from the Default Presence Configuration.
