Create Step

Create Step

Use the Create step to add new object instances. For example, if you work with an Account object, you can use the Create step to add a new account.
The Create step name can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), spaces, and Unicode characters.
The following image shows a Create step for the Account object:
You can view the input fields for the Salesforce account object.
To create new objects:
  1. Choose the
    Input Fields
    tab and select all the fields that you will be adding to the object. Some are required; others are optional.
  2. For each field name, set its source to one of the following values:
    Content
    ,
    Field
    , or
    Formula
    .

Using Reference Fields

Note that:
  • If you do not include a reference field on the
    Input Fields
    tab for the object you are creating, Process Designer uses the value of the current object at runtime.
  • Reference fields for the
    Applies To
    object are set if they are not set explicitly in the Input tab.
  • When the content of a reference field is set to empty, it is not included in the create statement. (This prevents problems that might occur when explicitly setting a field to empty or null could violate data constraints.)
