Creating a new assignment
One form, six fields, and the system handles the rest. Fill in the worker, the client, and when the shift starts. Everything else is automatic.
Opening the form
Click the blue "+ New assignment" button on the dashboard. The form slides in as a modal on top of whatever page you are on. You can also reach it from a link in the sidebar.
The form has three short sections: the worker, the client, and the assignment details. None of the fields are long.
The six fields
| Field | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
Worker name·required | The full name of the person being placed. Goes into the Telegram message and the email. | Ana Kovač |
Worker contact·required | The worker's phone number or Telegram handle. This is where the worker notification is sent. | +386 31 123 456 |
Client company·required | The name of the business the worker is going to. Goes into the email subject and body. | Hotel Mons |
Client email·required | Where the confirmation email is sent. In dev mode this is overridden to your test inbox. | info@hotelmons.si |
Assignment date·required | The date the shift or placement starts. Used to calculate whether this is urgent (under 24 hours away). | 2025-06-10 |
Assignment time·required | The start time of the shift. Shown in the Telegram message to the worker. | 08:00 |

What happens after you click submit
The system works through a short chain in a few seconds. You do not need to wait for it or do anything else.
If any step fails, the Activity log records it with a red status so you can see exactly what went wrong.
The Advanced toggle
By default every placement goes through the Python engine. That is the right choice for almost all cases. If you ever need to route a specific placement through the n8n visual workflow instead, expand the Advanced section at the bottom of the form and switch the engine there.
