When creating an activity, it would be very helpful to have the ability to assign a task to someone who is not listed as a stakeholder on the journey. Ideally, tasks could be assigned to agents or other internal users, not just individuals included in the initiator form.

In our organization, during onboarding and offboarding processes, there are team members outside of IT who are responsible for creating or deleting accounts. At the moment, we use activities to send email notifications to these individuals. The challenge is that there is no built-in follow-up, and we have no visibility into whether the request was actually completed.

If we were able to assign a task instead of sending an email, it would allow us to:

  1. Ensure continued reminders are sent until the task is marked complete.

  2. Maintain a clear record confirming the task was completed.

This enhancement would significantly improve accountability and tracking across departments.

thanks

Indeed, have the same problem. Not really interesting to create a different stakeholder for this matter.
I do a workaround with approval, this gives you the freedom to email whoever you like (has to be an approval group but hey)

100% agree with this one.

We have people outside the “stakeholders” that need to do tasks, including the service desk team who are setup as agents.

This would make things so much easier.

​@Carl_Newton ​@RDM_005 ​@Rich Downey  - Thanks for the write up. We are working on an enhancement to enable users to assign tasks to agents through Journey. We should have this rolled out by Feb 2027 across.
