Make creation of contact mandatory when creating an account

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

I am creating a custom model driven app.

When a user creates an account record, I want to ensure that the user is forced to create a contact at the same time. What is the best practice for this?

    Hi,

    Are you talking about the primary contact of the account or a sub-contact?

    For the primary contact, you only need to make the field mandatory in fields customization.

    Hi Will Thomas,

    There are two options here:

    1.Use power automate or on-demand workflow to automatically create contacts when a new account is created,

    and populate the contact information with account information.

    2.Using the business rule,

    when the account name is populated, the primary contact is set as a required field.
