# Round Robin assignment
## What is Round Robin ticket assignment?
Round Robin ticket assignment ensures tickets are evenly distributed among team members in a rotating order. For instance, with a team of 3 agents, Jessie, Larry, and Mary, the first ticket is assigned to Jessie, the second to Larry, and the third to Mary. The fourth ticket cycles back to Jessie, and so forth.

## Creating a Round Robin Workflow
Round Robin assignments are created inside Keeping's automation system, called Workflows.

### Set the conditions when the Round Robin workflow should run
To set up a Round Robin workflow, start by creating a new workflow. Specify the conditions for when a ticket should be assigned via Round Robin. Typically, you would set up a workflow that triggers when the **initial email is received** and runs **on every email**.

### Set Round Robin assign as the action
Select **Round Robin assign** as the action, and specify the agents to be excluded from the Round Robin pool. Any agents you add to the **All agents except field** will be skipped when the Workflow runs.

### Things to know about Round Robin assignment
Round Robin assign will only run on **unassigned** tickets. If an agent is already assigned to a ticket, the Workflow will not reassign it (or add an additional assignment) to the next agent in the Round Robin pool.
Agents in the Round Robin pool are ordered by how long they have been in the organization, from oldest to newest.
If an agent joins an organization after a Round Robin assignment has been created, they will be automatically added to the pool (unless they are explicitly excluded).
