Spread incoming requests evenly across your team or tools

The system automatically rotates each new request to the next person or tool in line so work spreads out evenly.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

When every new lead or task goes to the same person first, that person gets overloaded while others wait. You want work spread out fairly, but remembering whose turn it is next is one more thing to manage.

Who it fits

A small team or business that needs to split incoming leads, tickets, or tasks fairly among several people or systems.

How it works

  1. A new request or task comes in
  2. The system checks who or what handled the last one
  3. It automatically moves to the next person or destination in the rotation
  4. The request is sent to that destination, and the record updates for next time
What you get

Work spread evenly without anyone tracking turns

You get every new request handed to the next person or tool in line automatically, keeping the workload even.

What you get

An evenly distributed flow of requests across your team or connected systems, with no manual assignment needed.

What you need

No outside subscription is required, only the account that runs your automated workflows.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
