Hi,
First, i’m a french guy (hi !), this is important as i may not have the exact word (correctly translated) for my question 
So, i would like to create a workflow : when an email is sent to a contact with the subject containing “BAT”, i would like to set up a task “check if i have received an answer from the customer” 3 days later.
I am trying to do this for days now…
I tried with the module email.
This works quite well but i cannot link the task to the customer : i have a task to remind me to check the “BAT” but as i dont have the task linked to the customer account, it is useless.
Then, i have tried to take the Account module and use as the condition “emails:emails” (in each try, i use a condition like : if the subject contains “bat”) to see if the action “create new record” for task is then linked to the customer account.
No success : in this second situation, the condition seems to be never triggered and i have no tasks created.
I also read on some site to use the emails module and link to the customer module with “contact name -> field -> contact” but I can’t see the value “contact” in the dropdown !!
So, my question is :
- where can i find several examples to help me to understand how to create records linked to a customer in example (to avoid to have some record without any link to a customer) (i have found several example for SugarCRM but this is not the same…)
- If somebody could help me to understand how to achieve my simple workflow (but not so simple for me indeed…)
Thanks for any possible help

Hi again,
As i get no answer, maybe i have to explain more what i have and what is the result :
In screenshot 1 to 3, you can see my test workflow.
(i did not assigned to “me”, that is only for the test to explain).
Then i send an email to a customer with the subject “BAT TEST xxxxx”. (i do not paste the screenshot : useless to explain 
In the process audit, the workflow have been processed : nice ! (screenshot 5)
Yes… but the task is not linked to the customer… : not contact name shown… (my issue here !) (screenshot6).
So, my question is : how to link this task to the customer linked in the email…
I am missing something simple for you but i cannot find how to link this task to the user (at least to have a link to the customer page, otherwise i have a task “check !” but no clue to know what to check
I could also imagine to put as the subject of the task the subject of the email but i dont see the best way to retrieve this in the workflow…
I also search the forum here and the net, but no more clue for me…
I hope i have explain correctly my question

Hi @Chabi02,
Sorry you’ve went under the radar for so long. Let me have a look and see if its doable with the built in workflows and we’ll go from there 
Thanks for being so patient!

Did you explored the Option to set the value for Parent ID .
Add Relationship is also available in Action with creating a relationship with Contacts. You can see the attached image and try these options to test if this works for you.

YESSSSS !!!
Thanks a lot Cherum chum !!!
I was not able to find this by myself but now i understand (a little !!!) more.
The thing to understand for me is how to link correctly all this “parent id”, why did you put “task parent id -> field -> Parent id” ? Is this because it is linked to the “contact parent” ?
In fact, if you can explain to me the “logic” to construct this, i will be very gratefull (i cant find some explanation for this on the web).
Anyway, if you dont have time to explain, i want to say again THANK YOU for your time and your help
This is going to help me a lot !!
Best regards,
Xavier
