  3. Add the SAME unique tag that was created in step 1 during the workflow setup. The tag is what will trigger the automation to begin and reassign the contacts to the selected user in the workflow. The automation will NOT trigger if the tags are different.

Once your contacts have been reassigned, you can go to Settings > My Staff.  Find the User you wish to remove and click on the trash can icon to the right of their name.  They will be removed from the Vintory account.


Make sure any contacts assigned to the original user are reassigned before you remove the user.

If you have previously used this workflow before and are making changes to it to re-assign contacts again, you will need to turn the "Allow Re-entry" setting on within the workflow.
