Recipe: Delegate and Track

Assign emails to teammates with context, set due dates, and track delegation status to completion.
Prerequisite: Read the 
use-spark
base skill for command reference and filter syntax.
Access level required: triage.

Steps

Step 1: Review the team

bash
spark team "Team Name"
See who's available and their current assignment load.

Step 2: Identify items to delegate

bash
spark emails Inbox --filter "category:personal is:unread"
Or for shared inbox items:
bash
spark emails shared@company.com:Inbox --filter "assigned_to:unassigned"

Step 3: Read before delegating

bash
spark thread <id>
Understand the context so you can write a meaningful assignment comment.

Step 4: Assign with context

bash
spark action assign <id> --assignee bob@co.com --comment "Customer needs API key rotation, your area of expertise"
For time-sensitive items, add a due date:
bash
spark action assign <id> --assignee bob@co.com --date 2026-04-10 --comment "Needs response by Friday"

Step 5: Track your delegations

bash
spark emails --filter "assigned_by:me"
Review the list of items you've delegated. Check progress periodically.

Step 6: Complete or reopen

When a delegation is done:
bash
spark action delegationComplete <id>
If more work is needed:
bash
spark action delegationReopen <id>

Tips

  • Always include a 
    --comment
    when assigning - it saves the assignee from having to re-read the entire thread.
  • Check 
    spark team
    for the assignment summary before delegating to avoid overloading one person.
  • Use 
    --date
    for items with real deadlines - it creates visibility for the assignee.
  • Run 
    spark emails --filter "assigned_by:me"
    daily to monitor your delegation pipeline.
  • Complete delegations promptly to keep the tracking view clean.
