Scalable solutions for every Salesforce edition and organizational need
When dealing with high-volume case management in Salesforce, traditional workflow rules and process builder quickly hit their limits. Whether you’re processing hundreds or thousands of cases with complex email notification requirements, you need a solution that scales reliably while maintaining flexibility.
This guide presents two proven approaches to handle automated case email management, each designed for different Salesforce editions and organizational capabilities.
System Architecture Overview
The diagram below illustrates a configuration-driven approach where custom metadata controls email routing decisions, enabling runtime changes without code deployments. This architecture handles thousands of cases through intelligent batching while avoiding governor limit issues that plague traditional Salesforce automation tools.
Key Architecture Benefits:
- Handles unlimited case volumes through job chaining
- Configuration-driven rules without code deployments
- Smart routing between internal and external recipients
- Proper handling of multilingual content
- Comprehensive error handling and monitoring
