How to assign task to a user in monday.com

Question

Dear all,i’m trying to assign a user to an item in Monday with Zapier. Basically I want to assign a person, wich is also assigned in an other board. I'm trying to use the output from step 5 as an input, but it doesn't work. I assume, that the input is in the wrong format/structure, but I can’t find the right one. I already tried:User Name	Email	User IDHas anyone an idea, how to fix this issue?

Hi @jonas_junk! The ‘Create Item’ action expects a User ID in the ‘Owner/Personen’ field. This User ID is not passed when you use an update on Monday as a trigger. You could create a Google Sheet in which you have the names in one column, and the user ID’s in the other column. You can then set up a Zap that adds new users to this list with their name and user id.

Whenever you want to assign a user to a task, you do a Google Sheet lookup in that table and get the user id set to that name.

It’s finally working with GSheets, although I tried before with Zapier Formatter Lookup Table.
