Assigning tasks to your teammates ensures everyone knows their roles and can see which team members are working on related tasks, enabling them to collaborate and crush the team's goals!

How to assign tasks

You will need a People column on your board before you can assign teammates to items. Once the column is on your board, assigning people to tasks is a breeze!

Use Sidekick

Sidekick can assign items on your board to people on your account with a simple prompt. Describe which items on your board you would like assigned to various people, and let Sidekick do all the heavy lifting for you! 

Assign manually

To assign people manually, click the item's cell in the People column and select a member of your account from the dropdown list. To add more people to the same item, simply click the cell again and continue adding as many as you want!

Assigned notifications

When a task is assigned, the teammate assigned to it will receive a bell notification so they stay up to date with their responsibilities. Users can also choose to receive e-mail notifications. 

Assigning multiple items and avoiding team spam? As a board owner, you can mute all assigned notifications by clicking the three dots next to the column name, then selecting Settings, and finally Mute column notifications.

Can I assign tasks to users who are not in my account?

Tagging team members with the People Column only works for users in your account. To assign tasks to others, invite them to your account, or use the Text Column by typing their name so everyone knows who's responsible.

There are several ways you can view all the tasks assigned to you in one place.
