    Hi all,

    I'm new to CRM and need your help with following requirement:

    I need to create a workflow that trigger everytime an activity (all type: Email, Letter, PhoneCall, etc...) is linked to target record (Account, Contact).

    My environment is: CRM 2011 On-Premise.

    The option to start a workflow seems do not support this requirement, only:

      +Record is created.

      +Record status is changed.

      +Record is assigned.

      +Record fields change (only non-relationship field is listed here...)

      +Record is deleted.

    Please tell me how to make a workflow that trigger everytime an activity is linked to target record. If not possible, is there an workaround for this?

    Many thanks,

    Hi all,

    Thanks for your help. It's a good idea but still have some problems:

    1. Your idea focus on Activities, not on target Entity (Account/Contact) --> I need to create a workflow for each Activity type (Email, Letter, Phonecall, etc...) with duplicate mechanism.

    2. "Link" here is not only "Regarding", it means all Activities that are shown up Contact -> Activities navigation.

    For example: The activities created by Campaign Activities Distribution does not have Regarding to Contact but it's also shown up in Contact -> Activities navigation panel.

    Do you have any other workaround?

    Do we really focus on Activities instead of Account/Contact?

    If yes, do you know the criteria to show Activities in Contact -> Activities navigation panel?

    Many thanks.
