Workflow creating a task with contact details...

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:41PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

Hi Guys,

I just created my first work flow - Not super easy, but I'm wrapping my head around it and love it.

I've configured a work flow so that when a new customer registers via an online form, the Workflow creates a Task for the appropriate Sales Rep to contact the customer.

I've gotten the new Task created and the Company field is mapped correctly using "Current Record".

But how do I get the contact field to also be populated in the Task? If I use Current Record I get:

Invalid contact reference key 28308 for company 28308.

I imagine this occurs because the "Current Record" is a customer record, not a contact record. Somehow, I'll have to select the Contact child record for the "Current Record".

Howdy, Stranger!
