Skill-Based Routing
Automatically route conversations to agents with the skills needed to handle them.
Skill-Based Routing
Skill-based routing automatically assigns conversations to agents whose Skills match the requirements of a routing rule.
How it works
- A conversation arrives.
- Winora evaluates routing rules in priority order.
- If a rule matches and has Required skills, Winora filters the available online agents to those who have all the required skills.
- The conversation is assigned to the matching agent with the fewest open conversations (load-balanced).
- If no agent has all required skills, the rule is skipped and the next rule is tried.
Setup checklist
- Assign skills to agents (Team → agent profile → Skills)
- Create routing rules with Required skills set (Settings → Routing)
- Test by triggering a new conversation and checking the assignment
Combining with groups
A rule can require skills and restrict to a group simultaneously. Only agents who are in the group and have the required skills will be eligible.
