Assign a document to a chosen person

Posted on by TobFi

Hi there

 

I want to create a flow on sharepoint that helps us to keep track of the current working step of the document and who is assigned to it.

 

So far, the user is able to start the flow and select the working step, which should be started next. The flow will then change the file properties and writes in the current working step.

Now the flow should also allow the user to choose a coworker, who should be assigned to this task. So I want, that the user can choose a coworker (they have an MS365 account as well) and that this info will also be stored to the document. How can I do that?

 

Thanks a lot

    Are you using a button flow when you say users are able to start the flow? If so, just add an e-mail trigger input to the button action and the user will be prompted to select the person when they run the flow. You can then use this value from the trigger to assign your task.
