New in this release is a “Change Record” X2Workflow Action. This new workflow action allows users to switch to a related record during a workflow execution. Users can use it to do things like update a “total sales” amount on a Contact when a Quote is marked as won or otherwise update related records in response to X2Wofkflow triggers.
