Expected Behavior for External Routing for Omni-Channel

Verify that the behavior you observe while testing and using your implementation of external routing matches the following expected behavior scenarios.
Agent accepts the work
  1. Chat visitor initiates a chat request from the external routing button.
  2. PendingServiceRouting is created.
  3. Partner is notified by a pushTopic event (EventType=Create, isPushed=false).
  4. Partner creates AgentWork using the PSR.
  5. Agent is routed the chat request (AgentWork Status = Assigned).
  6. Agent accepts the chat request (AgentWork Status = Accept).
  7. Omni-Channel deletes the PendingServiceRouting after Agent accepts the work.
  8. Partner is notified by a pushTopic event (EventType=Delete).
Agent declines the work through Omni-Channel
  1. Agent declines the assigned AgentWork.
  2. Salesforce updates the PendingServiceRouting.
  3. Partner is notified by a pushTopic event (EventType=Update, LastDeclinedAgentSession=agent’s session id in LiveAgent (not the Salesforce session), isPushed=false).
  4. Partner creates a new AgentWork using the updated PendingServiceRouting for rerouting.
Agent doesn’t accept the work due to push time-out
  1. Existing PendingServiceRouting is updated.
  2. Partner is notified by a pushTopic event (EventType=Update, PSR Fields updated: isPushed=false, LastDeclinedAgentSession=agent’s liveagent session id).
  3. Partner creates a new AgentWork for rerouting.
Agent reassigns the work to an external routing queue (transfer from agent to a queue)
  1. New PendingServiceRouting for the transfer is created.
  2. Partner is notified by a pushTopic event (EventType=Create, isTransfer=true, isPushed=false).
  3. The routing process is repeated.
Agent reassigns the work to another agent directly
  1. PendingServiceRouting is deleted.
  2. Partner is notified by a pushTopic event (EventType=Delete).

We don’t support using both external routing and Omni-Channel routing in the same implementation. Transfer scenarios between external routing queues and Omni-Channel queues also aren’t supported. If you attempt this combination, there might be unknown issues.
