Create a weekly 'coffee roulette' type flow for a team

Posted on by powernoodles

I have a team of ~50 people. I would like to make a flow that does following:

1. Randomly makes pairs out of the team list until all names are used, this is the weekly list

2. Each person is emailed their pair for that week

3. The next week the flow runs, it checks against the previous list so that people don't meet each other again until they have met everyone else. Then it can repeat.

Is this doable with a flow? I have step #2 sorted (the easiest! 😅). If we were mixing two teams I could assign a random number to each but I'm not sure if something similar could be done for just one team all together?

Thank you for any help!

It can be done but you have to be ready to spent some time (or some money) to implement this task.

I am treating it like a learning opportunity so I am happy to spend time to get it working if someone could point me in the right direction 😊
