Workflow: Checking existing value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Howdy,

 Is there a way to create a workflow to lookup values in another entity to see if it's already existed?

 For example: when I receive an email, I want to check to see if the "from" email existed in the contact. If existed, then associate the email with that contact, and set a couple of parameters in contact, else, create the contact and then set a couple of parameters in contacts.

I am aware of create contact when from the sender or organization option in the personal option setting. 

I just want to do the lookup and creation myself so that I can set the name for the contact myself and some other parameters.

Thanks.

    Rajkumar,

    Thanks for the quick reply. In the article, it is comparing to a fix string.

    What I am looking for is say an email came in with "Someone@somewhere.com". Now,  I want the workflow  look into contact to see if "Someone@somewhere.com" exist or not. Not comparing with a defined value.
