I Think this is a Query Question

Hello,

 

I have a workflow that I currently start manually.  I would like to have it start automatically.  The issue is it needs to go to the person selected by the initiator.

 

How do I get the Assignee field on the Flexi Task to pull back the e-mail address of the person selected?  I am not a coder, I am looking for the simplest way to accomplish.

 

Thank you,

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne Caldwell,

You can start the workflow when the items are created or modified.

In the workflow designer, click on Workflow Settings and you can select Yes, for one of these. If you select the option to start workflow on item creation, then as soon as the item is created, the workflow will start. The assignee of the task should be part of your list as People and Group type and populated by the person creating the item.

In the Flexi Task, choose this column as the assignee. The email address will be automatically retrieved by the workflow from AD to send the notification. Hope that helps.

I agree with Kapil Joshi

It is listed in Item Properties, I did not think an item property could be used in the Assignee field.   I will give it a try.
