Creating Team Members

TEAMDESCRIPTION
Account TeamsYou can add multiple users to an account team so they can collaborate to manage customer accounts. An account team might include an account manager, dedicated support agent, etc.
Case TeamsYou can add multiple users to a case team so that they can collaborate to resolve cases. A case team might include an account manager, support agent, project manager, etc.
Opportunity TeamsYou can add multiple users to an opportunity team so they can collaborate to close deals. An opportunity team might include an account manager, business development rep, solution engineer, etc.

Kubaru can automatically add users to teams when records are assigned.

Things to keep in mind

  • In the case of Rule-Based Routers that assign records to multiple people, only the main assignee will be added as a team member.
  • Team member access levels must be greater than or equal to those defined in your organization-wide default sharing settings (OWD) for a given object. If OWD is subsequently increased so as to exceed your team member settings, the access level set in the router will automatically increase with it.
  • Team members will not be created when records are assigned to queues. 
  • The assignment logs will display any team members that were created in the Team Members Added column.
