Creating a user from a workflow

[vampirefrog]

Hello. I am trying to create a user when an entity is created, and I've added an action to a workflow, Create Entity -> User, which grabs the email and the name. However, when I create an entity, there is no new user. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

did you set userName field? Or just name (firstName and lastName)?

[vampirefrog]

The userName field was not set, and I'm trying to add it, however, it only lets me select varchar fields, and I'd like to select the email as the login for the user.

[tanya]

set it with formula

Also, setting it to the firstName field, it still doesn't create the user >_>

edit: strike that, it does create it (I forgot to save the workflow)

[vampirefrog]

So, in the user entity, I wrote "userName = emailAddress" is this correct?

BTW I had also fixed the username problem by editing the JSON for the workflow.

if email address was set before, yes

Ok, it seems to work. Thanks for the help!
