We are happy to announce that Flowsana’s rules now support triggers and actions involving multi-select, people, and date custom field types!
Multi-select and People fields
For trigger conditions, this means you can trigger a rule based on the values in a Multi-select or People field; for example:

For rule actions, you can have a rule set a Multi-value or People field to a certain set of options or add options to any existing ones. Note that unlike Asana’s rule action, you can also REMOVE certain options:
