Assign to group but only email specific users

Assign to group but only email specific users

Comments

  • I want to create a task that is assigned to a group, but only send the notification email to one user, or specific users.
    I see there are ways to disable all notifications system-wide, for example, but I dont see a way to restrict which users get this notification email on the assignment step itself.

  • [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ive attached a simple example.
    The example contains a flow that takes an email as input, and sends the assignment notification to the specified email (regardless of who is assigned the task).
    [/font][/color]
    [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the assignment steps properties, under [/font][/color][b]Email, [/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]you can set the [/font][/color][b]Notification Policy [/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]to "None". This will prevent any emails from being sent out for that assignment.[/font][/color]
    [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Then, under [/font][/color][b]On Step Run,[/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] you can set [/font][/color][b]Step Start Flow Type[/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] to "Private". Edit the [/font][/color][b]Flow to Run[/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] flow - this is a flow that will run when the assignment step runs (see below).

    [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In this flow, you can provide an input on the start step to take in the assignees email, and use a "Send Email" step to manually send the email to the assignee(s).[/font][/color]
    [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In the body, you could add the [/font][/color][b]Form_AssignmentURL [/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]data name[/font][/color][b], [/b][color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]which is the link to work the assignment.

    This assignment step will now only send a notification email to user(s) that you specify, while still allowing you to assign the task to whomever you need to.
