How to Automatically Assign Tasks Based on Priority in Flow Designer?

[Community Alums]

Hi Community 👋,

I'm working on automating task assignment in Flow Designer. I want to assign tasks to different assignment groups based on the priority level (P1 to P4).

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

• Trigger: Record created in the Incident table

• Condition: Priority is P1

• Action: Assign to High Priority Support group

Questions:

1. How can I make this dynamic for all priority levels?

2. Should I use a Data Lookup Table or a Script Block inside the Flow?

3. Is there a best practice for this kind of conditional assignment?

Any suggestions or shared experiences are appreciated 🙏
Thanks in advance!

Hello @Community Alums, If it's about task assignment and no complex logic needs to be written, then you can consider using Assignment Rules (System Policy → Rules → Assignment).

Otherwise, inside Flow Designer, a Decision Table seems to be a better approach, as it avoids multiple if/else or switch statements.
