    I need to update account records when certain activities occur. I am probably going to use the regarding field.

    How do I check in a workflow that the regarding field is an account. If it is not an account, the workflow goes into a waiting state - with an error message: Cannot find record to be updated

    I can check if the regarding field contains data, but is there a way to check what kind (I know I can do this in a plugin, but I am trying to avoid that and keep it simple)

    You can check in the condition if Regarding(Account) contains data. So that your workflow will not go into waiting state if it is not an Account. 

    Thanks,

    I am using the email entity and the regarding field doesn't give an option. below is the WF and is the one that ends up waiting

    Are you suggesting that I use the activity entity instead and filter on the activity type?

    Hi,

    You need to look at if the regarding object contains data, not the regarding field on the email.

    You might consider to end the wf with status success and remove it too, or are you planning to use the canceled wfs in any way?
