I am trying to set up a process through process builder, whereby if a case  has been closed, but the person sends an additional email, it will automatically change the status from closed to "new" or "reopened". 

 

However, I can't seem to get the correct order of operations. Does anyone know the steps through process builder? I'd also like the case to shift to a different "case owner" queue.

 

So from status closed to reopened (status that I created)

 

I also want to change the case owner ID from the last user (that closed the case) back to a "new case" queue. This may be outside the scope of the process builder operations.

 

Can anyone help?? Thanks!

    Hi Valerie,

     

    +Ines but this can be done just with a process on EmailMessage object without the need of custom fields.

     

    Create a Process on Email message Object and start the Process only when a New Record is created.

     

    see the screenshot below

     

    Hi Valerie, +Ines but this can be done just with a process on EmailMessage object without the need of custom fields.

     

    Node Criteria: Formula evaluates to true and the formula is

    AND(

    [EmailMessage].Incoming ,

    [EmailMessage].Parent.IsClosed

    )

    As per the above Node criteria, the process will be executed if the following criteria is met

     

    Incoming (IsInoming is the standard field that check to true for Incoming email) equlas True and

     

    Parent (refers to case object) Isclosed equlas to true (Isclosed is a standard checkbox field taht checks to true for any closed Cases) and save your criteria

    IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

     

    Action Type: Update Records

     

    Under record Type: Select a record related to the EmailMessage and select Case ID

     

    (you will find two entries for Case ID: Case ID >, Case ID. select the one without chevron)

     

    Criteria for Updating Records:

     

    No criteria—just update the records!

     

    Set new field values for the records you update

    Field Type Value

    Status Picklist reopened

    Owner Id ID Enter 18 digit Id of new case queue

    Save and Activate the process.
