Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a new queue in Salesforce from scratch.

Quick summary

Salesforce queues let teams share and prioritize workloads by routing records like leads and cases to a group of users. This step-by-step walkthrough shows how to create a queue in Salesforce Setup, configure its details, and assign members in minutes.


Steps

  1. Click the gear icon at the top right of the Salesforce dashboard to open settings.
  2. Select Open Advanced Setup from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Quick Find search box, search for and select Queues.
  4. Click the New button to start creating a queue.
  5. Fill in the required queue details in the configuration form.
  6. Select users from Available Users, then click the > button to move them to Selected Users.
  7. Click Save to finalize and create the queue.

📌 Why this matters

Salesforce queues are essential for sales and service teams that need to distribute leads, cases, or custom records fairly across multiple reps. Without queues, records pile up in individual inboxes, causing delays and missed follow-ups that hurt pipeline velocity. Setting up queues in Salesforce Setup gives administrators precise control over who receives which records and when, directly improving response times and team accountability. For any organization scaling its CRM operations, mastering queue configuration is a foundational Salesforce admin skill.
