Email to the SharePoint Task list "Assigned to" field?

Thank you for your response, however, I think maybe I didn't make it clear what I'm trying to do.

Using the "Notify Participants" feature will allow me to notify the "Originator" (which is the person who created the task) OR the Originator's Manager (also not the person I want to notify). I don't want to predefine the participant either. What I would like to do is use the SharePoint column "Assigned To" people field to populate the email "to" field. The person that the task is assigned to is not going to be the "Originator" nor is it going to the the Originator's "Manager", and it will vary and may not be the same person every time (which is why I don't want to predefine it).

There doesn't appear to be a way to accomplish this with K2, which is shocking to me, because it's such a basic feature to all other workflow products I've used, including Nintex and SharePoint Designer.

How do I send a notification email to the person in the "Assigned To" column of the SharePoint tasks list? Is that not possible with K2?

If you can point out how to do this, I will be incredibly grateful. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Hello Renier,

Thanks again for your response. Here is the basic process...

Background
There is a Project Tasks list that contains various project-related tasks assigned to various individuals on the project team. The "Assigned To" column is used for the assignment of tasks and is assigned to a single individual. Each team member has various tasks and the tasks are not shared between team members. There is also a "Status" field that allows the team member to notify the reviewer that a project task is ready to review. The values for the "Status" column are "Submitted for Review", "Approved", "Rejected".

Process
One of the managers creates and assigns tasks to various team members. Using the standard SharePoint list capabilities, team members are notified via email that they have a new task waiting for them.

The team member works on the assigned task. When the task is ready for review, the team member selects "Submitted for Review" in the "Status" column. A K2 Designer for SharePoint workflow is triggered and sends an email to the creator of the project task. (I have this part working without any problems)

The project manager reviews the task that has been submitted for review and decides to either approve or reject the submitted task. K2 Designer for SharePoint workflow is triggered and needs to notify the person who is ASSIGNED TO the task using the "Assigned To" people column for that project task. (This is where I am having problems)

Summary
I am not having any problems using the Workflow Context field to notify the Creator of the project task that the project task is ready to review. What I am having incredible difficulty doing is determining HOW to send an email using the ASSIGNED TO column (people column) in SharePoint. When I drag the SharePoint "Assigned To" field into the "To:" portion of the Email Notification workflow step, it is being interpreted as a user account (ie. DomainUser) instead of an email account (ie. user@domain.com).

So the question is: How do I send a workflow Notification Email to the person that is listed in the project task "Assigned To" field? The participant needs to be the person indicated in the SharePoint Assigned To field in the project task. This is an incredibly simple thing to do in Nintex and SharePoint Designer. So it confounds me that the K2 solution is not obvious to me. Do you know how to accomplish this simple task? Thanks a lot for your time and help, it's greatly appreciated.

Hello DavidZ,

Thank you for your prompt reply. It appears that the link you sent refers to K2 Studio. Is there a way to accomplish this in K2 Designer for SharePoint?

To answer your question, the "Assigned to" value is obtained from the SharePoint Columns list in the Context Browser when creating an Email Notification. The screenshot for that is in the above post. :)

Thanks!
