2840106 - Employee Responsible of Activity Task in Leads created by Workflow Rule

Symptom

You want to create an Activity Task when a Lead is created and you use a Workflow Rule for that. You want to enter the Employee Responsible of the Lead as the Processor of the task automatically.

Environment

 SAP Sales Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

Prerequisite: a workflow rule that creates an activity task on Lead creation; the Recipient is entered as the Sales Employee Responsible.

  1. Go to the Sales workcenter.
  2. Go to the Leads view.
  3. Create a new Lead.
  4. In the new Lead, go to the Activities facet and find the Task that was created by the Workflow Rule.

Result: The Processor field shows the Sales Employee party from the Lead, not the Employee Responsible as expected.

Note: The Recipient of the workflow task is the Processor, not the Owner of the task!

Cause

The Recipient entered in the Workflow Rule = Sales Employee Responsible is the Sales Employee party in a Lead, not the Employee Responsible.

Resolution

In order for the Employee Responsible to be entered as the Task processor, please select the Marketing Employee Responsible as the Recipient in the Workflow Rule.
