Hi all,

I’m looking to create a flow that would assign a company a catalog(distributor pricing) if the customer (main company contact) associated with that company has a tag (‘distributor’). I tried the following:

Start when.. Customer created

Then

Check if .. Tags includes distributor

Then

Do this.. Add catalog to company location

But that errors saying company location id is empty but required. I’d like to assign the catalog to one or all locations if more than one locations are present.

Any advice would be very much appreciated. If this can be done any other way without using Flow, please let me know.
