How do I assign a person responsible for a status?

The status assignee automation helps automatically change the responsible person when a task enters a specific status. This is convenient when a different member should be responsible for a task at each stage.

Permission to configure automation belongs to:

• Account owner
• Account administrator with the "Allow admin to manage projects" permission
• Project lead
• Project author (team/department administrator who created the project)

How to assign a person responsible for a status?

Open the Kanban board within the required project. Hover over the column of the required status and click the three-dot menu1. In the menu, select "Automation"2, then "Change of person in charge"3. Then select the required option for this status.

How does it work?

When a task gets this status, the system automatically applies the selected rule for the assignee:

• You can select a specific participant for the status.
• You can also remove the assignee, assign the task back to its author, or restore the assignee from another status.
