A home rental business might operate in three cities. If you run a house check workflow, you might want to assign the check to the team that's located in a specific city. Based on the city, you would assign a step to check the house to the respective team. Alternatively, you might want to assign a step to different members of the sales team based on the purchase value. ## Set up conditional assignee 1.
