Usage

This input type is used with the setAssignee mutation to specify which workflow instance to update and who should be assigned to it.

Example with specific assignee

  workflowRunID: "abc123de-f456-7890-ghij-klmnopqrstuv",

  workflowID: "receiving-workflow-67890",
  workflowRunID: "xyz987fe-d321-6543-mnop-qrstuvwxyzab"
  # assigneeID omitted - will default to current user
}

Field Details

workflowID

The workflow instance identifier in Temporal. This is typically a business-meaningful ID that uniquely identifies a workflow execution along with the workflowRunID.

workflowRunID

The run ID of the workflow instance. This is a UUID generated by Temporal that, combined with the workflowID, uniquely identifies a specific workflow execution.

assigneeID

Optional field that specifies the user to assign to the workflow. When not provided:

• The mutation will automatically use the current authenticated user's ID

• This ensures that a workflow always has an assignee after the operation
