I am using flow builder to create cases and assign them to specific queues based on criteria within the flow.

In the Assignment element, I can set OwnerId to a hard coded id string or a resource.

I would like to use a resource to keep it dynamic, but am not seeing an obvious way to get the queue id by name.

At the beginning of the flow, I could run an invocable action that pulls the queues through SOQL and return a list of queues back to a resource, but this seems inefficient and excessive.

I looked into using a formula variable resource, but I'm not seeing a path in formulas to query a queue based on name either.

Use the GetRecords Element and Query on the Group object.

Add the filter to make sure Type = Queue, then add the filter for DeveloperName = (queue name). enter image description here

    I think that the accepted answer is wrong, and this answer is right. As noted by @cropredy, the name of the queue is not an option you can pick if you're targeting Queue. This technique using Group does let you pick the name. Commented Aug 3, 2020 at 15:18

You can retrieve Queue Id dynamically by performing a lookup against Group object, check the query below

select Id , Name , Type from Group where Type= 'Queue'
