# Agentic Workflow Team Actions

{% hint style="success" %}
**Audience:** Administrators, Developers, Solution Architects

**Purpose:** Complete reference for the team action types available in <code class="expression">space.vars.Kizen\_company\_name</code> <code class="expression">space.vars.automations</code>, including how to notify team members by email and text and assign team members to a <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> during an execution.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Team actions send notifications to team members and manage team member associations on <code class="expression">space.vars.entities</code>. Use them to alert the right people at the right point in a <code class="expression">space.vars.workflow</code>, route work to specific individuals or roles, and ensure that team members have the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> access they need to act on assignments.

## Notification (Email)

The Notification (Email) action sends an email notification to a team member. Notification emails always send from the business, not from an individual employee's address.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/qKuIQbihB7bPZqM62Lze" alt="" width="258"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Team Member to Notify:** Select the primary recipient using one of the following options:

* **Last Active Team Member (Any Role):** most recently active team member on the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> regardless of role
* **Last Active Team Member (Specific Role):** most recently active team member on the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> who holds a specified role
* **Specific Team Members:** one or more individually selected team members
* **Custom Team Selector Field:** a team member resolved from a team selector field on the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>

**CC Additional Team Members:** Optionally CC additional recipients. The same options apply as the primary recipient dropdown.

**Choose Email To Send:** Select an existing template using **CHOOSE EMAIL FROM LIBRARY** or compose a new one using **CREATE NEW EMAIL**.

## Notification (Text)

The Notification (Text) action sends a text message to a team member. Unlike Notification (Email), this action does not include a CC option.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/OuhLvloPRxp6YGgy5vPP" alt="" width="257"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Choose Who to Notify:** Select the recipient using one of the following options:

* **Last Active Team Member (Any Role):** most recently active team member on the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>, regardless of role
* **Last Active Team Member (Specific Role):** most recently active team member on the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> who holds a specified role
* **Specific Team Member:** a single individually selected team member
* **Custom Team Selector Field:**  a team member resolved from a team selector field on the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>

**Text Message Body:** Compose the message using **+ INSERT MERGE FIELD** to insert dynamic values. The body supports up to 10 message segments of 153 characters each, for a maximum of 1,530 total characters. The character counter tracks remaining characters in the current segment and total characters used.

## Assign Team Member

The Assign Team Member action adds a team member to the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>'s team member association list, giving them visibility and access to the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>.&#x20;

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/3awUJex8qoNguFB06AMC" alt="" width="251"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**This is distinct from setting the Record's owner.** Assigning a team member through this action does not change <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> ownership. To update the owner field, use the Change Field Value action targeting the owner field directly.

Use the **Choose Assignment Type** dropdown to select how the team member is identified:

* **Round Robin (Any Role):** Cycles assignment across all verified employees in the business, regardless of role
* **Round Robin (Specific Role):** Cycles assignment across all team members who hold a specified role
* **Round Robin (Choose Team Members):** Cycles assignment across a manually selected list of team members
* **Specific Team Member:** Assigns a single named team member selected at design time
* **Team Selector Field (This Object):** Resolves the assignee from a team selector field on the context <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>
* **Team Selector Field on Related Object:** Resolves the assignee from a team selector field on a related <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>

## Key Use Cases

Team actions are applicable across any <code class="expression">space.vars.workflow</code> related process. The following examples illustrate common patterns in three industries where coordinated team notification and assignment are operational requirements.

### Industry Examples

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Insurance" %}
Insurance <code class="expression">space.vars.workflows</code> require that the right team members are notified and assigned at each stage of underwriting, claims, and renewals.

Examples include:

* Using Notification (Email) to alert the <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> owner when a policy application is submitted and requires underwriting review
* Using Notification (Text) to send an urgent text to the last active team member on a claim <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> when a response deadline is approaching
* Using Assign Team Member to add the compliance officer identified by a team selector field to a policy <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> when it enters a regulatory review stage
* Using Notification (Email) to notify specific team members when a high-value claim exceeds a configured threshold field

How team actions help:

* Ensure the right team members are notified at critical <code class="expression">space.vars.workflow</code> stages without relying on manual communication
* Route urgent time-sensitive notifications via text when email alone is insufficient
* Give team members <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> access automatically when they are assigned to a case, without requiring an administrator to update permissions manually
* Notify owners, role-based, and custom-selected recipients using a single configurable action
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Healthcare" %}
Healthcare workflows require that care coordinators, clinicians, and administrative staff are notified and assigned at the right points in the patient lifecycle.

Examples include:

* Using Notification (Email) to alert the assigned care coordinator when a patient <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> is updated with new clinical information requiring follow-up
* Using Notification (Text) to send an immediate text to the last active team member on a patient <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> when an urgent flag is set
* Using Assign Team Member to add the specialist identified by a team selector field to a patient <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> when a referral is created
* Using Notification (Email) to notify the compliance team when a patient <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code>triggers a regulatory reporting requirement

How team actions help:

* Deliver timely notifications to care team members at critical points in the patient workflow without manual outreach
* Escalate urgent notifications via text when immediate awareness is required
* Ensure that team members assigned to a patient case have <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> access from the moment of assignment
* Reach specific roles, owners, and custom-selected recipients without building separate notification logic for each scenario
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Financial Services" %}
Financial services <code class="expression">space.vars.workflows</code>require that relationship managers, processors, compliance officers, and operations staff are notified and assigned as applications and accounts progress.

Examples include:

* Using Notification (Email) to alert the relationship manager who owns an account when a new loan application is submitted by one of their clients
* Using Notification (Text) to send an urgent text to the last active team member on a loan <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> when a closing deadline is within 24 hours
* Using Assign Team Member to add the compliance officer identified by a team selector field to a loan <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> when it enters the regulatory review stage
* Using Notification (Email) to notify specific processors when a loan application is ready for final approval

How team actions help:

* Keep relationship managers, processors, and compliance staff informed at key <code class="expression">space.vars.workflow</code> milestones without manual outreach
* Deliver time-critical notifications via text for deadline-sensitive steps in the origination and servicing process
* Grant team members <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> access at the point of assignment, ensuring they can act immediately without waiting for permission updates
* Support flexible recipient targeting, from <code class="expression">space.vars.entity</code> owners and last active team members to role-based and custom-selected individuals
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}
