Workflow Field Updates
Field Update helps you automatically update certain field values in the records, when the associated workflow rule is triggered.
To create field updates
- Log in to Zoho Developer console and click CRM for Verticals.
- In the Vertical CRM page, select the application you'd like to modify and click Edit.
- In the App Details Page, click Automate in the left pane and click Workflow.
- Select the Field Updates tab at the top of the page and click Configure Field Updates.
- In the New Workflow Field Update page, do the following:
- Enter a Name for the field update.
- Select the Module from the drop-down list.
You can also update the field values of the related parent records associated to the record selected for workflow rule. For example: While creating workflow rules for Contacts, you will be able to update the fields of the parent Account records too.
- From the Update drop-down list, select the field you'd like to update, then input the value you'd like to change it to.
- Click Save.
Note
- Workflow Field Updates cannot be associated to a workflow rule if the Execution Criteria selected for a rule is 'Delete'.
- You can associate a maximum of 3 field updates to each action (Instant and Time Based Actions).
- Using workflow field updates, the owner of the record can be changed. If the user to be assigned is inactive or unconfirmed, the workflow field update will not be executed.
- From within a workflow rule, you can also create Workflow Field Updates to update parent record's fields.
