I have created a workflow for new form submissions in HubSpot, and I have set them to send the first email. After that, I categorized them into those who opened the email and those who did not. I want to know, once I have assigned the contact owner to the salesperson for all the opened email lists, how will they further distribute the leads to other salespersons?\*\*

Hi @MVerma57,

Just to clarify, you assign the contact to a sales person – and they’re supposed to re-assign to someone else?

There are many ways for assigning ownership, the most appropriate is likely the bulk option from the contact index page: [Assign ownership of records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/records/how-to-set-a-record-owner)

Best regards!
