Auto-Assignment

FanDesk automatically assigns unassigned tasks to keep work moving.

How It Works

Every day at 9:00 AM UTC, FanDesk checks for tasks that meet all of these criteria:

Tasks matching all conditions are automatically assigned to the project lead.

What Happens

1. The task's assignee is set to the project lead
2. The project lead receives an in-app notification: "Task auto-assigned: [task title]"
3. The project lead receives a push notification on mobile
4. The notification explains: "This task was unassigned for 24+ hours and has been auto-assigned to you as project lead"

Requirements

• The task must belong to a project
• The project must have a Lead assigned (set in project settings)
• If there is no project lead, the task remains unassigned

Tips

• Set project leads — Auto-assignment only works when a project has a lead configured
• Assign tasks promptly — Tasks assigned within 24 hours won't trigger auto-assignment
• Use for accountability — Auto-assignment ensures no task falls through the cracks
