Send individual tasks to assignees.
![Shandor](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
I am able to make a report with a list of tasks that are filtered as I need. I have an upcoming tasks report, and I have an ending and overdue tasks report.
I can send this report out daily or weekly.
But this isn't really want I want. I want my guys to get an email tat only consists of tasks that they have not already been notified about, and only the tasks that are relevant to them. The only way I can think of doing this is to create a report for each person, and create a workflow for each person to send it out. That just seems like a dumb approach, but I don't know the right one.
It's a basic feature of other task management tools to be able to do this. But I am finding it not only not a default feature, but difficult to do.

Hey @Shandor !
If you want to create a report that is unique to that viewer, I suggest adding a filter that is: when owner of that task, is one of, current user. This will allow for when that user logs in to views that report to only see tasks they have been assigned to so you don't have to create a report for each user.
You can also set up workflow notifications that get directly sent out to the contact associated in a cell. Rather than having the automation alert specific people, set it to "send contacts in a cell" (see photo below).
Make sure if you do either of these paths that task owner column is a contact list column type.
Let me know if neither of these solutions are feasible so I can work with you to find something that is better suited for your team!
