Rule or IFTTT that will auto-assign a line item In Confiforms based on user selection or changes

Oliver Sutton

Hello, so I've been trying to create a rule that will allow an item in the confiforms table to change or update a multi select dropdown field named Assignee based on user selection.

For example I have a drop-down field on a user form that has 2 drop down fields named RequestType and RequestorArea. So I would like to update the assignee field to option 3(Assignee[3]) if RequestType[1] & RequestorArea[1] are selected.

I would then like to send the assignee an email that notifies them when this happens.

I've tried using an IFTTT and Rules for Field definition to no avail.

Is there anyway this is possible?

Hi @Oliver Sutton

Sure you can - use the https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-Create(Update)ConfiFormsEntry

Condition would be (onModified event)

RequestType:1 AND RequestorArea:1

Set parameters

entryId=[entry.id]&Assignee=3

And the IFTTT to send an email https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-SendEmail which also set up to run onModified event and with a condition

hasChanged(Assignee):true AND Assignee:3

Thanks for responding, I entered this the way you describe and it is firing but I am getting this error inside the cell of the table when I make the changes. I do also have an IFTTT above this that creates the page but when modifying this entry the page has already been created and does have a title. is this error related to that IFTTT or something else.

Also if I wanted to use multiple parameters say RequestType:1 OR RequestType:2 AND RequestorArea:1 OR RequestorArea2 could I use this format or is there another.

Same for Assigning to multiple options would it be &Assignee=3,4 or do I need to do &Assignee=3&Assignee=4

Probably you have some other rules that are set to create pages in Confluence!? As that is what that error is about

Regarding the syntax for the filtering condition it would be something like

(RequestType:1 OR RequestType:2) AND (RequestorArea:1 OR RequestorArea:2)

Multi-value fields set by providing a comma separated values, so that is correct

Assignee=3,4
