# SetAssigneeResponse

SetAssigneeResponse Type

Audience: Programmer

Response type returned by the `setAssignee` mutation containing the updated assignee information.

## Fields

| Field      | Type      | Description                                                 |
| ---------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `assignee` | `String!` | The user ID of the assigned user after the update operation |

## Usage

This type is returned by the `setAssignee` mutation after successfully updating a workflow's assignee.

### GraphQL Response Example

```graphql
{
  "data": {
    "setAssignee": {
      "assignee": "user_456789"
    }
  }
}
```

## Field Details

### assignee

Contains the user ID string of the user who is now assigned to the workflow. This will be:

* The explicitly provided `assigneeID` if one was specified in the input
* The current authenticated user's ID if `assigneeID` was null or omitted
* The value returned reflects the actual state after the Temporal workflow update completes

## Example Usage in Code

```javascript
const { data } = await client.mutate({
  mutation: SET_ASSIGNEE,
  variables: {
    input: {
      workflowID: "order-processing-wf-12345",
      workflowRunID: "abc123de-f456-7890-ghij-klmnopqrstuv",
      assigneeID: "user_789012"
    }
  }
});

// Access the assigned user ID
const assignedUserID = data.setAssignee.assignee;
console.log(`Workflow assigned to user: ${assignedUserID}`);
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pyck.cloud/graphql-api/types/setassigneeresponse.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
