Automation Rules: Notify/Mention users from custom field type "user"

Hi,

when using automation rules you can choose "Mention users in comment" as action. Unfortunately it is not possible to choose custom fields there.

We have a custom field of the type user. It would be great if we could notify the user in the custom field via automation rules.

Kind regards
Marco

Hi Marco Eberl, thank you for sharing your use case with the Community. As you mention, it is not currently possible to automatically change the values of custom fields via automation. In the case you describe, the best solution would be to use the option you have also mentioned, "Add comment or mention".
 
I've passed your feedback to our Product Team and we will keep you updated if any changes are made to this feature 👍

Marco Eberl I love this idea!

@... I guess you didn't get Marco right. In my understanding he likes to @mention people by automation, not change the value of a custom field. But instead of @mentioning all followers or dedicated persons, all entries of a user-type custom field should be mentioned.

Hi Eric Fiero, you can change the value of a People type custom field via an automation rule:

Is this what you were looking for?

@... Not quite. I want to be able to draft a comment that is automated to tag based on the custom field, similar to above.
