Flowsana Rule Update
I have a small update to announce for Flowsana.
When you’re building a rule and use the rule action “Create a new project from a template”, one of the things you do is tell Flowsana the name to use for the new project.
Previously there was one “variable replacement” option available: you could put {task.Name} and it would replace that with the name of the task; for example you could enter this in the new-project-name field:
Onboarding process for {task.Name}
and end up with a project called, for example:
Onboarding Process for Jane Smith
Now with this update, in addition to the task’s name, you can specify the name of any custom field and it will do a replacement with the value of that field.
Say instead of using the task name in the above example, you have a form which prompts for the new employee’s name and puts it in a custom field called New Employee’s Name.
Now you can specify this in the rule’s new-project-name field:
Onboarding process for {task.New Employee’s Name}
and end up with the same format of project name of, for example:
Onboarding Process for Jane Smith
