Automating Task Assignments Based on Custom Statuses - Emmanuel Katto Uganda

Hi everyone, I am Emmanuel Katto. I’m currently working on a project management setup in monday.com and I need some help with automating task assignments based on custom statuses. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what I’m trying to achieve:
Current Setup:

Board Structure: I have a board for managing our content creation workflow.
    Columns:
        Task Name
        Task Description
        Due Date
        Status (custom statuses like "Writing", "Editing", "Review", "Approved", etc.)

        Assigned To

Team Members: We have different team members responsible for different stages of the workflow:

    Writers for the "Writing" stage
    Editors for the "Editing" stage
    Reviewers for the "Review" stage

Objective:

I want to automate the assignment of tasks based on the status column. For example:

When a task status changes to "Writing", it should automatically be assigned to a Writer.
When the status changes to "Editing", it should automatically be assigned to an Editor.
And so on for the other stages.

What I’ve Tried:

Automations: I explored using automations to change the assignee based on the status change, but I'm having trouble setting it up correctly for multiple users.
Integrations: Looked into possible integrations but haven't found a clear solution that fits our needs.

Can someone provide a step-by-step guide or example on how to set up these automations effectively?

Thanks!
Emmanuel Katto
