Beyond just making changes to Salesforce records, you may need to link some together. For example: you may want to connect every case created by a set of email addresses in the same company to the same Account. Here’s how to use the Salesforce: Link New Record to do that.
Step Configuration
In addition to the general step configuration options, this step has the following specific options that can be configured.
Select Source Object
Select the type of Salesforce record your team will be starting from when they reach this step in the Flow. For example, if your team will generally run this Flow from the Case Details screen, select Case.
Select Source Field
Select the field which will link the record your team is on, and the record that still needs to be linked. Both records will need to have value in this field in common. If two records do not share at least one data point between them, they cannot be linked.
Select Target Object
Select the type of record that will be linked to the record you chose in the Select Source Object field earlier.
For example: if you want to link a Case record to a particular Account record using the Account ID they have in common, select Account.
Enter Values
Beyond linking records together, you can also update field values on the target record at the same time.
Order
Use this field to select the order in which the fields will be updated.
Field Name
Select the field on the Target Object Record to be updated.
Value
Set the value to be written into the specified field on the Target Object Record. Last modified on January 27, 2026
