Hi, I’m able to create a workflow that will create a contact when I tick a checkbox in a custom module called “commercial account”, but I don’t have the option to populate the email address (the first and last name, phone, etc… data transfers ok)

I’m still figuring out how to use workflows, and guessing there is an easy solution.

Thanks

I had to do something similar with a custom module like 2 years back. Look into creating a logic_hook. There are examples here and online. You might be able to do this with workflow. I cant think of the way off the top of my head. I think the logic hook method might be best.

Through workflow you would have to make sure there is a relationship being made with the new contact, then the fields could be populated from the relationship.
