Action Details
This action is possible only after creating custom objects in the subaccount and creating an association label between at least one of those objects and contacts.
Needs at least one association between the custom object and the contact for the action to work
Users can select multiple fields to be reset.
The action does not delete the record, only the selected fields.
Example
A retail business tracks customer loyalty points using a Loyalty Program custom object. When a customer redeems their points for rewards, the Loyalty Points field should be cleared to reflect the redemption.
Since workflows cannot trigger on specific dates, this action will be executed when a related event occurs, such as when a redemption request is processed.
Example Setup
Object to Update → Loyalty Program
Association Label → Customer Rewards
Fields to Clear:
Loyalty Points
Last Redemption Date
How It Works
When a customer redeems their points, a workflow is triggered to clear the Loyalty Points field.
The Last Redemption Date is also reset, ensuring accurate tracking of future redemptions.
This prevents redeemed points from being mistakenly available for reuse while keeping the customer’s loyalty record intact.
This helps businesses accurately track loyalty redemptions and ensure that customers cannot reuse points after redemption.
