Automatically assign an owner to a contact

With Automations, you can easily automate the process of assigning an owner to your contacts. For instance, you can choose to assign an owner to the contacts who fill in your subscription form, to contacts who reach a certain lead score, or to contacts who purchase a specific product on your website.

To automatically assign an owner to a contact, add the Assign a user to the contact step after adding the entry point of your automation and any steps you want your contacts to go through before being assigned an owner.

To add the Assign a user to the contact step to your automation:

1. In your automation, click the + button.
2. Select Perform a CRM action > Assign a user to the contact.
   
3. Choose how you want to assign the owner:
   
   • Assignment to a specific user: Select the user who will be assigned as the owner for all contacts going through this step.
   • Assignment to a user using a rotation: Select several users who will be randomly assigned as owners for the contacts going through this step.
