What is an assignee?

Every task can have an assignee — the person responsible for completing it. By default, tasks are assigned to whoever created them. On shared projects, you can reassign tasks to any project member.

Assigning a task

Open any task and select an assignee from the Assignee field. The dropdown shows all members of the project (or just yourself for personal tasks). From the CLI:

Filtering by assignee

On a shared project, you can filter the task list to see only tasks assigned to a specific person. This makes it easy to see what anyone on the team is working on without losing context.

How it works with connections

Assignee requires the task to be in a shared project. You can only assign tasks to project members. See Connections for how to add people to your network, and Projects for how project membership works.
Assigning a task to someone doesn’t automatically notify them — notifications for task assignment are coming in a future update.
