Get the associated company
Get the associated company retrieves the company associated with the account currently in scope and makes it available to downstream steps. Use it in account-scoped automations when you need to run company-level actions (assign an owner, start a campaign, add a note) but only have an account in context. This action is available on account-scoped triggers.
How it works
- The automation reaches the Get the associated company step with an account in scope
- The step looks up the company associated with the account
- The company record is brought into scope for downstream steps
- Company-scoped actions become available in subsequent steps
Set up the action
- Open the automation builder and add a new step
- Under Businesses, select Get the associated company
This action has no configuration fields — it retrieves the company linked to the account in scope.
Outputs
After the step runs, the associated company record is available in scope. Downstream steps can act on the company directly — assign an owner, start a campaign, log a note, or reference company fields via Add dynamic content.
