In this article, we'll explore the concept of Roles and how they can be utilized to dynamically assign ownership of steps within a workflow.


​

Understanding Roles:

  • Roles enable you to assign specific responsibilities or ownership of steps within a workflow to team members dynamically.

  • By assigning roles based on collected information or predefined criteria, you can ensure that the right team members are responsible for the right steps within a workflow.

  • When a step with a role becomes active, the person attached to that role will receive an email notification.


​

Assigning Roles in FlowmapAI:

  • Start by identifying steps within your workflow where ownership or responsibility needs to be assigned.

  • Reference Person fields to dynamically assign roles to team members.

  • For example, in an Employee Onboarding flow, you can assign the HR role to a specific team member selected in the Person field that you named "HR." You can assign the HR role for steps related to confirming start dates or reviewing employee information.


​

Customizing Role Assignments:

  • Customize role assignments based on the specific requirements of your workflow.

  • Make fields required to ensure essential information is provided before proceeding to the next step.

  • Assign roles such as HR, IT, manager, or other relevant positions to streamline workflow ownership and accountability.


​

Enhancing Collaboration:

  • By assigning roles, you streamline workflow ownership and ensure that tasks are efficiently managed by the appropriate team members.

  • Facilitate collaboration between different departments or teams by assigning roles based on their expertise or responsibilities.
