Case Categorization

AI Case Categorization for Precise Routing in Salesforce

Let your AI understand the case. Let Plauti Assign send it to the right team

Case text is messy. Customers write in their own words, in different languages, and often under stress. Yet Salesforce expects a clean “Category” field if you want reliable routing.

With Plauti Assign, your own AI, and/or Plauti Manipulate (e.g., use ChatGPT to generate or enrich content or decisions per record), you don’t have to pick between free-text reality and rigid routing rules. Your AI understands what each case is about, then Plauti Assign routes it to the right team. No fragile rule spaghetti.

The Challenge: Messy Case Descriptions, Fragile Routing Rules

Salesforce Admins and Customer Success teams know the problem. Agents receive long case descriptions with vague or missing categories, routing rules depend on manual picklists that no one fills in correctly, "temporary" workarounds turn into nested assignment rules, flows, and custom code, and misrouted cases pile up, and high-value customers wait in the wrong queue

The end result: a simple question like "who should own this?" becomes a maintenance headache.

Example: one engine, many industries
Your AI is already good at reading context. Plauti Assign just turns that understanding into action. For your service teams, these look like everyday tickets. For your AI, they’re clear patterns that can be turned into consistent categories.

How It Works:

Your AI and/or Plauti Manipulate + Plauti Assign

Step 1: AI turns free text into standard categories

Step 1: AI turns free text into standard categories

Your own AI model, or AI used via Plauti Manipulate (both options are possible), reads the case description and sets a normalized category fields. For example:
• "Card issue / Lost or stolen card"
• "Room issue / Cleanliness"
• "Delivery issue / Package not received"
• "Equipment issue / Heating failure"

You keep full control over the category list. You can keep it short or create a more detailed taxonomy per product line.

Step 2: Plauti Assign routes by category, not by guesswork

Step 2: Plauti Assign routes by category, not by guesswork

Plauti Assign uses those AI-generated categories to route directly to the right specialist queue. For example:
• Fraud team for "Card issue / Lost or stolen card"
• Housekeeping or on-site team for "Room issue / Cleanliness"
• Logistics / carrier team for "Delivery issue / Package not received"
• Field service team for "Equipment issue / Heating failure"

No complex rules based on keyword matches. No hard-to-maintain formula fields. Just one clean field, filled by your own AI, read by Plauti Assign.

All configuration stays in Salesforce. No black box.

Step 3: Keep admins in control

Step 3: Keep admins in control

Admins decide:
• Which AI model to call
• Which fields the AI can read and write
• Which category values are allowed in Salesforce
• Which queues or owners each category should go to

Why Salesforce Admins and Customer Success teams like this

  • For Salesforce Admins
    • Fewer routing rules to maintain
    • Clear field mapping between AI output and Plauti Assign logic
    • No firefighting, no need to rebuild routing flows every time the businss changes categories, but increased transparency
  • For Customer Success teams
  • For your customers

Future Proof: You Can Swap or Improve Your AI Without Redoing Routing

Plauti Assign doesn't care which AI model you use. It just reads the final fields. That means you can:
• Start with a simple model, then upgrade to a more advanced one
• Use different models per business unit or language
• Adjust category definitions without touching Plauti Assign rules

Your routing logic stays future-proof while your AI-stack evolves.
