Smart queues

Use built-in queues to focus on contacts or leads that need attention.

Before you begin

Smart queues are system-defined views. They are different from saved groups because Flowforce updates them based on activity and record state.

Common queues

  • All records — everything you can access
  • Suggested prospects — records Flowforce thinks are worth attention
  • Stale or no activity — records that need follow-up
  • Hot uncontacted — high-intent records that have not been contacted
  • Recently created — new records from forms, imports, Meta, or manual add

What you should see

Selecting a queue should narrow the list to the records that match the queue rule. Clearing the queue should return you to your previous list or all records.

Common issues

  • Queue empty — no records currently match that condition
  • Queue does not match expectation — check filters and ownership
  • Too many records — combine the queue with owner, source, or date filters
