Team Task Assignment
Automatic task assignment helps small businesses route new jobs to the right person without a manager manually triaging every request. It is especially useful when the team has different service areas, specialties, or weekly capacity limits.
How It Works
Capture the incoming job
A website lead, client email, or internal form creates a new task with service type, location, and urgency.
Apply assignment rules
The automation checks rules like territory, skill set, shift availability, or project owner before choosing an assignee.
Notify the team member
The assigned person receives the job in their task tool, inbox, or Slack with the required context attached.
Escalate edge cases
If no one matches the rules, the task is routed to a manager so it does not sit unclaimed.

In Practice
