Clear Fields of Custom Object or Associated Record Action

The Clear Fields of Object or Associated Record action enables you to clear temporary Notes and Internal Comment custom fields that are no longer required once the workflow trigger criteria are met. This functionality ensures that records are automatically updated, maintaining data accuracy and ensuring only relevant information is retained.

How It Works

Begin by creating a new workflow in the Automation section of your account or accessing an existing Objects workflow from the list. 

Note: The title of the Custom Object workflow option will vary depending on the Custom Objects you have configured in the Settings > Objects section and will take the format of {{Custom Object Name}} based workflow. 

In this guide, we will use an Examples Custom Object to demonstrate how you can use the Clear Fields of Custom Object or Associated Record Action.
