Validate Warning Action for Workflows

Use the Validate Warning action to warn you when inconsistent data is being entered or to alert you when additional information may be required.

For example, if a user changes the address of a contact, you can have a warning sent which alerts the user that the telephone number may also need to be changed. This action is only available for user initiated workflows.

If you want to stop the user from saving the record, rather than just warn them, use the Validate Error action.

The Description field allows you to enter a message that will be sent to the user when Validate Warning finds a match, such as "Make sure that the telephone number is correct." The Description field is required for this action.

If the Validate Warning action does not find a match (the user entered information in both the address fields and Telephone fields before saving the record) then the alert does nothing else. The Conditions field in the Actions grid is required, since at least one condition must be defined for this action.
