Hi all,

I have noticed that Connections entities are automatically created due to many types of actions and they can be manually created as well. And I wonder if there is any rule of thumb to determine if a certain connection was created automatically or not.

Thanks!

Hi Yuval Yellin,

You can recognize who created the connection by the Created By field.

If the connection is created by a workflow, we can distinguish the source by selecting the executor as the owner of the workflow or the creator of the record when designing the workflow.
