Know Your Team's Capacity Before Assigning
You just created a task. Now you need someone to own it. But who has capacity? Who has the right expertise? Instead of guessing or switching tabs to check Affinity, this workflow instantly shows your entire team their roles, skills, current load, and history so you assign to the right person on the first try.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
Why this helps
Assigning issues without visibility into team capacity or expertise leads to inefficient work distribution and dropped tasks.
- Match tasks to team capacity instantly
- See expertise profiles before assigning
- Reduce assignment delays and context switching
