Hi Everyone, 

 

I know that there is currently a live idea on this topic but i just wondered if anyone had found a work around to this blocker? 

 

https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00000Gdl3yUAB/allow-tasks-to-be-routed-through-omnichannel

 

 

I know that tasks can be adding a Queue (list view) in lightning but i need to have the tasks show up in the Omni-Channel queues so that they can be assigned out to agents at our Contact Centre. 

 

All of our tasks are related to cases but we don't want the tasks to be tied to one single agent (owner) they need to be in the Omni-Channel so that the tasks can be picked up by the next available agent on the day the task or tasks are due. 

 

I hope that makes sense. 

 

Thanks 

 

Eric

    Hey Eric, 

     

    Real workaround exists via Omni-Channel Flow, and it's the same mechanism Salesforce uses for cases, custom objects, etc. 

     

    Per Salesforce's own Route Work documentation, Omni-Channel can route work items to reps for standard and custom Salesforce objects, not just the traditionally supported channels (Case, Lead, Chat). Since Task is a standard object, you can: 

     

    1. Create a Service Channel for Task (Setup > Omni-Channel > Service Channels > New), this turns Task records into routable work items 

    2. Create a Routing Configuration and associate it with your queue 

    3. Build an Omni-Channel Flow (Setup > Flows > New Flow > Omni-Channel Flow type) that fires when a Task is created/due, and uses a Route Work action to push it into your Omni-Channel routing config, rather than a static Queue owner assignment 

    4. Don't assign an individual Owner on the Task, let the Route Work action handle assignment dynamically to the next available agent 

     

    This is exactly the same pattern used for Email-to-Case routing (Omni-Channel Flow + Route Work action instead of a fixed assignment rule), just applied to Task instead of Case. Since your Tasks are already related to Cases, you can build the flow logic off Case criteria while still routing the Task record itself. 

     

    One caveat: confirm whether Task supports being added as a Service Channel object in your org edition, if it's greyed out in the Service Channel object picklist, that would confirm the Idea's limitation applies at the object-type level, not just the UI.

We use the activities timeline on both Financial account pages and Account pages (Person, Household, Institution). On the financial account page, our activity timeline has one of our custom Task record types "Compliance Task" as an option to submit directly there. We do not have it on any other activity page on any other lightning page. I am trying to figure out why it is only showing there? I would like to have it be available option on all pages.

    Hi Martin - the activity composer options (the tabs you 'submit directly' from in the timeline) don't come from the Activity Timeline component itself - they come from the page layout's 'Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions' for that object. So your 'Compliance Task' option shows on the Financial Account page because a custom quick action (a Create-a-Record > Task action defaulted to the Compliance Task record type) sits in that object's page-layout actions, and it's simply missing from the other objects' layouts. 

     

    To get it on the other pages: 

    1. Find the action: Setup > Object Manager > Financial Account > Page Layouts > (the layout you use) > 'Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions' - locate the Compliance Task action and note whether it's a Global action or a Financial-Account-specific one. 

    2. If it's a global quick action: add it to the 'Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions' section on the Account page layouts too - and remember Person, Household, and Institution are Account record types in FSC, so add it to each Account layout those record types use (check Page Layout Assignment). 

    3. If it's an object-specific action on Financial Account: you can't reuse it on Account, so create an equivalent object-specific quick action on Account (New > Create a Record > Task, then default the record type to Compliance Task) and add that to those layouts. 

    4. Confirm the Compliance Task record type is assigned to the relevant profiles - it clearly is where it works, but worth checking for the profiles hitting the other pages. 

     

    The mental model: the composer follows each object's page layout, and each object (and record type) can use a different layout - that's why it appears on one and not the others. Add the action to those layouts and it'll show everywhere. 

     

    Hope that sorts it!

Hi Salesforce community,

 

Basic formula request here! Looking to automate the Due Date of a newly created Task to be 3 Business Days from Today. Any takers?

 

Thanks!

    Can you try this

     

    IF(MOD(TODAY() - DATE(1900, 1, 6), 7) > 3, TODAY()+5, (IF(MOD(TODAY() - DATE(1900, 1, 6), 7) = 0, TODAY()+4, TODAY()+3)))

     

    1900, 1, 6 was Saturday so in case you also create a task on Saturday then still the above formula will work bcoz then it will add 4 days to that 

     when Today is Monday, Tuesday then it will add 3 days, for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday it will add 5 days

     

    Hope this helps,

Hello, I am hoping there is an easy fix on this that I am not finding. I have been trying to update our Lightning page for tasks. In the Highlights Panel, there are Action buttons. We have actions for Log a Call and Follow Up. However, these actions are not showing up on the page when selected. Is there a reason why these action buttons can't be used on a task page? Are the action buttons object specific? Thank you.

    Yes, I would create a screen flow that can be launched through an action button directly from the task record. Within the screen flow you have the choice to present the fields you need the advisor to fill out and can automate anything behind the scenes. 

     

    If the logged call is all that is needed from the advisor, the screen flow could also mark complete the initial task to save manual effort.

Background:

A document requires reviews to happen by specific reviewers in a specified timeframe. In order to observe bottlenecks, analyzing how long a specific reviewers take to review is paramount. There are two different review "environments" or workflows.

  • One is a Sequential workflow, where once the document is Issued (captured in Issue Date), the first reviewer's clock starts. Once that reviewer closes their task (captured in Closed On) then the second reviewer's clock starts, and so on.
  • The other is a Parallel workflow, where once the document is issued, then everyone can simultaneously review the document - i.e. everyone's clock starts until they close their task.

 

The parallel workflow is an easy capture, I can create a calculated field that basically says, "If the workflow type is parallel, then use the DATEDIFF function using the Issue Date and the Closed On date to find the time to review." Boom, done.

 

But, the sequential workflow is a little more complicated (but hopefully not for you reading this post). There are two different calculations that need to happen, and I can do this easily in an Excel sheet, but that is not where I am pulling the data from. Essentially if:

  • The reviewer is the first in the workflow (Task Sequence = 0), then use DATEDIFF with the Issue Date and Closed On date - easy.
  • The reviewer is the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, nth reviewer, then I need to use the DATEDIFF function with the Closed On date of the (n-1) task sequence and the Closed On date of the nth task sequence.

 

Example:

Issue DateReviewer NameClosed On Workflow TypeDurationNotes8/11/19Joe8/14/19Sequential3DATEDIFF('day', Issue Date(Joe), Closed On(Joe))8/11/19Sam8/16/19Sequential2DATEDIFF('day', Closed On(Joe), Closed On(Sam))8/11/19Jess8/22/19Sequential6DATEDIFF('day', Closed On (Sam), Closed On(Jess))8/11/19Michelle8/25/19Sequential3DATEDIFF('day', Closed On(Jess), Closed On(Michelle))

 

What do you guys think? Would love to be able to make this happen.

 

In the end it will all combine into a large IF statement to keep it all (parallel and sequential) in one column - oh and make it so that it is only working days, too .

    HI Henry

     

    Thanks for attaching a packaged workbook & providing the version no - makes things a lot simpler :-)

     

    Based on the example data in your workbook, I've created a Review Start Date using table calculations :

    Review Start Sate : DATE(IF ATTR([Task Sequence]) = 0 THEN MIN([Issue Date]) ELSE LOOKUP(MIN([Closed On]),-1) END)

     

    What this is basically saying is "If the task sequence is the first one (task sequence = 0) , then use the issue date else use the closed on date of the row before.

     

    As we're using table calculations, the information needs to be aggregated, hence the ATTR, MIN functions.

     

    I think this should give you what you then need to be able to DATEDIFF between Review Start Date and Closed On date.

     

    Workbook with the above attached in v2018.3.

     

    Hope that helps you get you on  your way.

Hi There,   

 

I am trying to switch off the automated email notification when a task is created.  I can't find any workflow rule or flow that is triggering the email and I have looked at activity settings and can't find anything obvious other than I tried removing the check for 'enable activity reminders' but this hasn't stopped the emails from being sent. 

 

Grateful for any suggestions. 

 

Many thanks. 

Natalie

    @Natalie Gorman The setting exists in the NPSP but I believe it is disabled for you. First enable Activity Reminders from here. Now follow the screenshot in the below sequence to turn off email notifications.The setting exists in the NPSP but I believe it is disabled for you. First enable Activity Reminders from here.

Hi there, 

 

We are planning to implement the Action Plan object within our Org. However I am having challenges showing the activities related to that object within the Quip document. The onlly option that is feasible on our end is using the @Salesforcetask Quip live app. Then everytime we are using the Task live app a pop up box shows up saying " The Salesforce Tasks app will be retiring soon. Please contact your Quip administrator for support." Just wanted to know when it is retiring and is it really retiring? Or Do you recommend an alternative. I might be missing something here. Please advise thank you!

I want to obtain Subject picklist values on Task object using the UI-API. 

 

I used the below API:

 

/services/data/v52.0/ui-api/object-info/Task/picklist-values/<record_type_id>

 

This returns various picklist values, except Subject

 

I tried even below API:

/services/data/v52.0/ui-api/object-info/Task/picklist-values/<record_type_id>/Subject

I receive this error: Field Subject is not a picklist

However, I see Subject as a field under Task record types.

 

What is the consideration here? #User Interface API #Tasks #REST API #Salesforce Developer

    Hi Sohan,

     

    Here's my understanding,

     

    This could probably be because of the type of Subject field. Task.Subject field is of data type= combobox and not picklist. Also, if you look at the field on page layout, it doesn't look like a picklist field, instead it looks like a lookup field.

     

    Hence, Data Type of Subject field could be the reason due to which it's not appearing in the results.

     

    If you've already sorted the issue, then please do let us know as well.

We have a flow that creates a task when a form submission comes into a lead/contact and that lead/contact gets routed to a BDR, the task is then assigned to the BDR that the record was routed to. I have an ask to update that same task with a Stage field that would mimic that of the lead/contact record and if the stage is disqualified, then to include the disqualified reason field on the task as well. I can't get a formula fields or lead/contact flows to play nicely between objects and a task flow only would be triggered if the task is updated but that's not the case here, we would update the lead to disqualified which would not prompt a task flow to fire off. Any suggestions?

    You would need to create a record triggered flow on the lead/contact object.

    Get records elements to get the related task and then a decision to check if the lead/contact is Disqualified, and then an Update record elemtent to update that task (from Get records)

Looking for ideas and inspirations for tasks to queue in Salesforce triggerd by Account Engagement

 

Hey Community,

 

I'm working with Account Engagement and figured out some cases for my company where it would be useful to assign Tasks to a queue based on rules in AE Studio.

 

Example Setup:

  • Account Engagement Studio has a journey with different rules and actions
  • Based on some rules it would be really nice to assign a task to a specific salesforce queue
  • e.g. if Rule A = true, then create task to "service call team" queue for calling the contact
  • OR if Rule A = false, then create task to "administration team" queue to create specific documents

This is only a simple example and I solved it currently with the salesforce admin to create a flow in Salesforce and assign a task to a queue.

 

Example:

  • Account Engagement Studio journey Rule A = true -> set value for custom_field_A = true; if Rule A = false -> set value for custom_field_A = false
  • Flow in SFC triggerd by field changes and check if value is true or false
  • If value in SFC field ist set to true it creates a task to the "service call team" queue

What questions I've in mind to disccuss?

  1. What could be a smarter solution to assign tasks to a queue?
  2. Maybe it could be solveable in a more general way, like -> Account Engagement is assigning a prospect to a list/campaign with values like a table
  3.  
queue | topic | detailed information | due dateCall center, call contact, customer ist asking ... bla bla, 2024-07-20Office team, create document, create specific document, 2024-08-15

Salesforce flow will check this information continously and will create tasks for specific queues based on queue column.

 

Just an idea, what do you think, would it be possible?

 

3. Can a user assigend task assigned to a queue by some automation anywhere based on subject content for example?

 

What's the background behind this ideas.

  • Ensure representability in a team.
  • Staff changes have no effect on flows/journeys being adjusted.
  • Tasks can be assigned independently of the assigned user.

I'm curious about your thoughts and solving ideas.

 

Enjoy your day,

Frank

    This might be a bit late, but you can use Account Engagement External Actions to call an Autolaunched Flow directly. Once you are in the Flow, you can create the Task however you want, with whatever fields from the Prospect you want (as long as you pass them in via Input Variables).  You could then send highly customized notifications to slack/ms teams as you see fit.
