Send notification on when the Request is initially assigned

I'm wanting to create a new notification for Requests with a Contact Type of 'Email' or 'Record Producer'. I'm wanting the notification to be sent to the Requestor when the Request is initially assigned (i.e. do not send when a request is reassigned). I've written the following logic within my notification:

However, I'm not sure if this will work as a user can just make the assigned to field empty and then refill it and the notification will generate.

 

How do I get the notification to generate so that it only appears when it's assigned to the first person?

Hi @matthew_hughes ,

 

What about sending the notification via a Flow? Check out the screenshot attached!

You can replicate the conditions as set above in the trigger and set the Run Trigger to run ONCE , so the notification will only be sent the first time that it is assigned. 

And then, set an action to send the desired notification 

Let me know if it works !

When I try to select my notification, it times out.

Thanks Clara. That worked
