Now It works! Thank You for help Maximus!

Hi,
I've debugged it and found the issue.
The link-multiple name to Contact entity is 'contacts'. Please change entity\addLinkMultipleId('contact', $ids); toentity\addLinkMultipleId('contacts', $ids);

Something's still wrong, Contacts are still not linked to Opportuity. My workflow looks like attached. What I doing wrong?

[Maximus]

Hi,
Should be something like this:

$ids = record\findOne('Contact', 'createdAt', 'desc', 'emailAddress=', targetEntity\attribute('from'));
entity\addLinkMultipleId('contact', $ids); 

targetEntity\attribute() - formula to retrieve attribute from the target entity of Workflow. In your case it is Email.

'from' - field that should contain a 'From' email address. If it won't work you can try 'fromAddress' instead.

entity\addLinkMultipleId('contact', $ids); - link name should starts from lowercase.

Hello,
I think it's not a bug. There's a hard logic behind the scene.
Try to use Formula here to fetch a Contact ID and then add it to the Contacts link-multiple field.
- To get users ID try to use the 'record\findOne' function https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...#recordfindone
- To add the fetched contact ID to the Contacts field try to use the entity\addLinkMultipleId function https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...linkmultipleid.

Thank you Maximus for the answer. Could you give more information on how to use the record \ findOne function to capture ContactID from email?

$ids = record\findOne(???)
entity\addLinkMultipleId('Contact', $ids);
