Hi tpmcafee , I tried to find a solution to assign a user without sending a notification (which would allow sending a custom notification), but unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to do so.
Regarding changing the header, I wonder if you could create a new account with the desired display name and use its connection in Power Automate to create or assign a user to a task.
Of course, someone else from the forum might have a better solution for this.
