How to use

Automate case reviews: Essential steps

These are the workflow steps available for automating case reviews:

Set case review settings

Enable reviewer assignment and review conclusions for the workspace.

  • Customize conclusion labels by adding the Approved conclusion name and Rejected conclusion name optional parameters (e.g., change Approved to a custom term).

  • Use the Access token optional parameter to apply these settings to a different workspace.

Change case reviewer

Submit cases for review automatically by specifying the reviewer’s email.

Conclude case review

Finalize the review by setting a review conclusion. To add additional context, use the optional Review conclusion note parameter.

The case timeline records all review-related actions, including reviewer assignments and final review conclusions. When these actions are automated, the timeline entries link directly to the corresponding workflow execution.

Use case: Automatically assign a case reviewer

This workflow automates reviewer assignment when a case moves to the Pending review custom state.

  1. Set the trigger: Use the State changed trigger scenario to execute the workflow when the case state transitions to the Pending review custom state.

  2. Send a slack notification: A message asking who can review the case is sent to a designated Slack channel.

  3. Assign the first responder: The first user who responds as available is automatically assigned as the case reviewer. The assigned reviewer receives a confirmation notification.

Case review triggers

The following trigger scenarios are available for the case review process:

Use case: Automatically notify the case assignee of a review conclusion

Use case review triggers to automate notifications to relevant users about key review events.

  1. Set the Trigger: Select the Review conclusion updated scenario from the Torq Cases trigger menu to execute the workflow when a review conclusion is submitted.

  2. Send a Slack Notification: A message informing the case assignee of the review conclusion, whether approved or rejected.

    • If approved, include instructions in the Slack message to mark the case as closed.
