How can I automatically assign a user to a contact?

[JosNas]

I have a workflow that creates a User once a Contact is created. (Formula is below, and Target Entity is Contact)

$emailAddress = string\substring(entity\attribute(emailAddress), 0);
$userName = string\match($emailAddress, '/([^@]+)/');
$password = password\generate();
$hash = password\hash($password);
$userId = record\create(
   'User', 'userName', $userName, 'password', $hash 'emailAddress', $emailAddress );

How can I assign this User that I just created to the Contact that triggered its creation?? I tried many things including

assignedUserId = $userId

but nothing worked till now (the Assigned User is not being shown in 'Assigned User' field in the Contact record)

Hi JosNas,

$userName = string\match(emailAddress, '/([^@]+)/');
$password = password\generate();
$hash = password\hash($password);
$userId = record\create(
'User', 'userName', $userName, 'lastName', $userName, 'password', $hash, 'emailAddress', emailAddress);
assignedUserId = $userId;
assignedUserName = $userName;

Vadym Hi Vadym, thanks for your reply but it still didn't work. If you go to Contacts > Click on the created Contact (open his details view) > `Assigned User` Field on the right panel is still 'None'

Bumping this

Hi JosNas,

Provide a screenshot of the Workflow.

This is the workflow that creates the user. I need this because this is what will give every User <-> Contact access to their own record (User X can edit only Contact record X but can also view others)

JosNas,

This Formula must be in the Action -> Execute Formula Script. Not in the Conditions.

$userName = string\match(emailAddress, '/([^@]+)/');
$password = password\generate();
$hash = password\hash($password);
$userId = record\create(
'User', 'userName', $userName, 'lastName', $userName, 'password', $hash, 'emailAddress', emailAddress);
assignedUserId = $userId;
assignedUserName = $userName;
