Here's how to set it up: 1. Create a new workflow or edit an existing one 2. Add the **Assign incident roles** step for any role you wish to set in the workflow 3. For each role you want to assign, use the following expression: Workflow step assigning Incident lead, using an expression that navigates from the Primary on-call schedule to the current on-call user Make sure to use the exact schedule name in the expression to target the specific on-call schedule This allows you to pick the current on-call user on a schedule and assign them to a specific role. Example setup: **Alternative Approach:** You can also use the "Auto-assign incident lead" [template workflow](https://app.incident.io/~/workflows/create?template=assign_paged_as_lead) to set roles based on who acknowledges an escalation. This is useful when you want to ensure the assigned person has actually acknowledged the incident.
