CUSTOMER CASE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring overdue customer cases back into view.

Find support cases that have remained unresolved for more than a week and prepare a concise view of their history, current status, and possible next step. Keep previous case outcomes and approved guidance available for comparison, while leaving customer replies, case updates, and closures for an authorized support person to review and approve.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A customer case that remains open and unresolved more than seven days after it was created

“Summarize the case history, identify whether it appears resolved, waiting, or blocked, and prepare a suggested next step for a support person to review before action.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps support teams notice older unresolved cases and decide which ones need a person’s attention next.

  1. Find cases that need attention

    Review unresolved cases that have been open for more than seven days and keep their current status visible.

  2. Summarize the case history

    Bring together relevant customer messages, prior actions, and open questions without removing important context.

  3. Suggest a likely status and next step

    Identify whether the case appears to be progressing, waiting for a response, or blocked, and make uncertainty clear.

  4. Check against prior resolutions and guidance

    Use approved support references to suggest a possible resolution while preserving the source details for comparison.

  5. Require support review before any action

    Have an authorized person verify the customer, case history, proposed status, and exact reply before changing, reminding, responding, or closing the case.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review-ready case summary with a proposed status and next step, held for an authorized support person before any customer contact, record update, or closure.

The handoff

A review-ready case summary with a proposed status and next step, held for an authorized support person before any customer contact, record update, or closure.

Keep in mind

Customer cases can contain personal details, and a summary may miss context or misread whether an issue is resolved. Restrict case information to authorized staff, verify every summary against the full conversation, and require a support person to approve each customer-facing reply, case change, reminder, or closure. A case must never be closed solely on an automated assessment.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose case age and status rules

Set which unresolved cases are included, how reopened cases are treated, and when urgent issues need immediate attention.

Select approved support references

Choose current guidance and prior case examples that staff are permitted to use for proposed next steps.

Limit access to case details

Make summaries and source conversations available only to the support people responsible for those customers.

Assign case reviewers

Name who verifies customer history and who may approve a reply, reminder, status change, or closure.

Test resolved, blocked, and unclear cases

Review varied case histories and confirm every customer action and closure remains on hold until a support person approves it.
