# Assign To

The Assign To action automatically assigns a record to a specific team member. When the workflow runs, the person you specify will see that record in their assignment list and get a notification that they have been assigned to it.

This saves you from manually opening records and clicking "Assign" — the automation handles it based on your rules.

## Steps

1. **Drag an "Assign To" action onto the canvas** — Find it in the actions section of the left sidebar.
2. **Click the block to configure it.**
3. **Choose the record type** — Select which type of record to assign (e.g., Lead, Sales Order, Project).
4. **Specify which record** — Tell the system which record to assign. This is usually the record that triggered the workflow.
5. **Choose who to assign it to** — Enter the team member's email address or use a dynamic field. This person will get a notification and see the record in their assignments.
6. **Connect the block** — Draw a line from the previous block to this one.
