Can a workflow create a record and then create an activity regarding the new record?

Posted on by

So basically when a field on our opportunity is set to Yes I want to be able to create a new opportunity record, which I know is possible.  But then I want a task record created for the newly created opportunity record.  So in other words the new task will have the new opportunity in it's REGARDING field.

Is this possible?

    Yes it is possible.

    When you are creating a new opportunity (assuming via workflow)

    In the same workflow add a second step>> create task>>set properties of this task>>You can add dynamic or static values

    Dynamics values can be from the right hand side of the designer

    Click on the regarding field>>on the right hand side first select process and in the second drop down select 'Create (opportunity)'

    Yes. You can use local values when creating an activity(task) in work flow as shown above.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes this is possible.  You need to refer to your Create Opportunity step:
