# Assigning Issues in Pylon

> Route issues to Parahelp with Pylon triggers, like any teammate.

<Note>
  Parahelp is assigned issues like any teammate in Pylon.

  Once assigned, Parahelp handles the issue until it is resolved and only escalates when its configuration outlines that it should or cannot resolve the issue.

  You can automatically assign issues to Parahelp using [Pylon triggers](https://docs.usepylon.com/pylon-docs/platform/triggers).
</Note>

## 1. Overview of your existing triggers
