Round Robin Mechanism in Zendesk Sell Explained

Discover how the round robin mechanism in Zendesk Sell distributes leads, contacts, or deals evenly among team members.

How does the round robin mechanism work in Zendesk Sell?

The round robin mechanism in Zendesk Sell is a method of distributing records evenly among team members in a distribution pool. When a new record is created, it is assigned to the first user in the pool. The next record goes to the second user, and so on, until all users have been assigned a record. Then, the process starts over from the first user.

This ensures a fair distribution of workload among team members. If a user is added or removed from the pool, the order of assignment adjusts accordingly, with new users being added to the end of the pool. This mechanism is used across various methods in Sell, such as Lead Capture Form, Import, and API.
