Assignment
Route interventions to the right people
Interventions can be assigned to specific users or left in a queue for anyone to claim. Proper assignment ensures the right people handle the right tasks.
Assignment Types
Specific User
Assign to a named person:
- Use when: Only one person can handle this task
- Example: Assign to the account manager for that customer
Unassigned (Queue)
Don't assign—anyone can claim it:
- Use when: Any available team member can handle it
- Example: General data verification tasks
Configuring Assignment in Workflows
When adding an intervention to your workflow:
- Open the intervention step configuration
- Find the Assignment section
- Choose the assignment type
Static Assignment
Assign to the same person every time by selecting them in the intervention configuration.
Dynamic Assignment
Use expressions to assign based on workflow data:
Assignment: {{steps.extract.assigned_reviewer}}This lets the assignment change based on:
- Customer type
- Amount thresholds
- Department
- Any data in the workflow
Ensure the expression always resolves to a valid user ID. Invalid assignments leave the intervention stuck.
The Intervention Queue
Unassigned interventions appear in the general queue.
Viewing the Queue
- Go to Interventions
- The main list shows unassigned items first
- Filter by workflow or date as needed
Claiming from the Queue
- Click an unassigned intervention
- Use the assignee dropdown to assign it to yourself
- It's now assigned to you
Always assign to yourself before starting work. This prevents two people from editing the same intervention.
Reassignment
After an intervention is assigned, it can be reassigned:
Reassigning to Someone Else
- Open the intervention
- Click the assignee dropdown
- Select a new user
- Add a comment explaining why (recommended)
Unassigning
- Open the intervention
- Click the assignee dropdown
- Select Unassign
This returns it to the general queue.
Who Can Reassign
- The current assignee
- Users with admin permissions
- The workflow owner
Assignment Notifications
When assigned an intervention, you receive:
- Email notification (if enabled)
- In-app notification
- Slack notification (if configured)
Configure in Settings Notifications.
