If you have integrated VCC with Salesforce external routing, when interactions arrive in Salesforce, Salesforce delegates routing decisions to mapped interaction plans in VCC. Where configured, Salesforce uses VCC to route chats, cases, and messages (for example, WhatsApp messages) alongside phone calls.
When using Salesforce with external routing and SCV, in addition to phone calls, agents can transfer the following interaction types:
- Chats. Agents use the transfer button in the chat interface to transfer chats to any of the following:
A user
Note Agents can transfer chats to any Salesforce user in the presented list, some of whom may be linked to agents in VCC.
A chat button
Note The selected chat button transfers the chat to a Salesforce queue. A Salesforce queue
- A Salesforce skill
Cases. Agents can transfer cases by changing the case owner to one of the following:
A user
Note Agents can transfer chats to any Salesforce user in the presented list, some of whom may be linked to agents in VCC.
Note Due to a Salesforce limitation, when a case is transferred to another agent, the new agent will not receive an item in the Omni-Channel utility. However, the case's owner will be changed to the agent and, if configured in Salesforce, the agent will receive a notification email.
A Salesforce queue

Agents can transfer a chat or a case to a Salesforce queue, either by selecting the queue directly or by selecting a chat button. If the queue uses external routing, Salesforce will route the chat to the mapped interaction plan in VCC. The interaction plan can tag the transferred case with required skills and deliver it to the most appropriate agent. |
