Assign an Item to a Random User in Podio

Many Podio users have created an app for tasks. When a new item is created in a task app, a user must be assigned. This can easily be done when manually entering the ticket. Although it is not directly possible to randomly select an assigned user, you can set up multiple flows to complete this for you. The solution is to create a random number generator and assign each number to a user. Then once a new ticket is created, this random number will assign the ticket to a user.

User Activity

Flow Details

Modify your Podio App template and add a number field. Call it Random. This field will be used to calculate a random number.
Open GlobiFlow and refresh your settings
Create a flow to calculate the Random field when a new ticket is created, using the Calculation field. For this example, we have 3 users to select from.
Assign each number to a user. Set each flow to trigger upon update of the Random field, this will need to be done for each user. If Random is equal to 1, assign to user #1. If Random is equal to 2, assign to user **#2. And so on.
