Forwarding & Requesting Information
Sometimes you need input from other team members or want to delegate a task. Lumen provides two tools for this: Forward and Request Additional Information.
Forwarding a Request
Use the Forward action to create a new step and assign it to another team member.

When forwarding, you can:
- Name the new step — Give the forwarded task a clear description
- Select assignees — Choose one or more team members
- Add form fields — Define what information you need back (text inputs, dropdowns, toggles)
- Mark fields as required — Ensure assignees provide the necessary information
Requesting Additional Information
If you need clarification from the current assignee, use the Request Additional Information action.

This allows you to:
- Specify what additional details are needed
- Optionally add form elements for structured responses
- Keep the workflow moving while gathering the information you need
