How do I build a system to request volunteers for a task in SharePoint?

Question

Requirement: Within the organization, there is the need to test new tools periodically. Any time there is a new tool, we ask for a number of volunteers to test it out and provide feedback. Right now, all users are SharePoint users...I am trying to figure out if there is a way to

1. I want to have a pool of volunteers and when there is a new tool to test out, I can pick the volunteers based on who put their name in the pool first. So first name into the pool, first name chosen.
2. If there is a new tool and there are no volunteers in the pool, I want to be able to request for volunteers.

...is this something I can accomplish in SharePoint? If so, how do I go about doing this? I am open to using SharePoint along with PowerApps and/or Power Automate.

Hello @Mohammed ,

You can consider the following steps:

1.Create the Volunteer List , and add "Created" column and "Created By" column.

2.Let each volunteer add a record to the Volunteer List, and then sort the view according to the value of "Created".

3.Create a TaskSystem List, and then automatically assign the task to the volunteers in the Volunteer List through MS Flow.
