Use Insurance Policies and Related Contacts in Workflow Conditions (CRM)

Learn how to filter workflow conditions using fields from Insurance Policies and Related Contacts on Account records. This guide covers enabling related modules, adding condition rows, and understanding evaluation logic.

Overview

Workflow conditions can now filter on fields from Insurance Policies and Related Contacts — two panels that live directly on the Account record. You can add as many conditions from either module as you like, mix them in a single workflow, and save confidently knowing they will reload correctly every time.

1. Before You Start

You will need:

  • A CRM login with access to Settings → Workflows

  • At least one existing workflow targeting Accounts, or the ability to create one

  • Account records that have Insurance Policies or Related Contacts data entered, so you can test the conditions

Access requirements: The Workflows module is available to users with the Administrator role or any role that includes the Settings permission. Standard agent users cannot edit workflows unless their role has been explicitly granted access.

⚠️ Note: If you do not see Settings in the top navigation, contact your Dazos administrator to verify your role permissions.

2. Open the Workflow Editor

From the CRM, navigate to Settings (top navigation) → Workflows.

You will see the list of all workflows. To edit an existing one, click its name. To create a new one, click Add Workflow and complete the basic setup (name, target module, trigger event) before reaching the Conditions section.

💡 Tip: Workflows that filter on Insurance Policies or Related Contacts must target the Accounts module. Conditions from these panels are not available on other module workflows.

3. Enable Related Module Fields

Inside the workflow editor, scroll to the Conditions section. Above the condition rows you will find a dropdown labelled Related Modules.

Click the Related Modules dropdown and select the module(s) you want to filter on:

Option

What it unlocks

Insurance Policies

All fields from the Insurance Policies panel on the Account (e.g. Health Plan ID, Status, Policy Priority, Enrollment Program fields)

Related Contacts

All fields from the Related Contacts panel on the Account (e.g. contact name, relationship type, custom fields added to that panel)

You can select both at the same time. Once selected, their fields become available in the Field dropdown on each condition row.

💡 Tip: The Related Modules selector also controls which field groups appear in the Field dropdown. If you do not select a module here, its fields will not be listed when you go to add a condition row.

4. Add Conditions from Insurance Policies or Related Contacts

With the relevant modules selected, click Add Condition to add a new condition row. For each condition row, fill in three fields:

Field

Description

Example

Field

The data point to check. Fields from Insurance Policies appear under the "Insurance Policies" group; Related Contacts fields appear under "Related Contacts".

Health Plan ID, Enroll in Family Forward Program

Comparator

How to compare the value. Common choices: is, is not, contains, starts with.

is

Value

The value to compare against. For picklist fields, a dropdown appears. For text fields, type the value.

34324, Yes

Repeat for as many conditions as you need. You can mix Insurance Policies and Related Contacts conditions freely in the same workflow — add one from each, or several from either, in any order.

To remove a condition row, click the × icon on the right side of that row.

⚠️ Important: Each condition you add is evaluated independently against every child record attached to the Account. The workflow will trigger if any child record (any single Insurance Policy row, or any single Related Contact row) matches the condition. For example, if an Account has three Insurance Policies and one of them has Health Plan ID = 34324, the condition is satisfied even if the other two policies have different IDs.

5. How the Conditions Are Evaluated

When a workflow runs against an Account, each related-module condition works like this:

  1. The system retrieves all child records for the Account from the relevant panel (all Insurance Policy rows, or all Related Contact rows).

  2. For each condition you defined, the system checks whether at least one of those child records satisfies it.

  3. If every condition in the workflow is satisfied (including non-related-module conditions), the workflow triggers.

This "any match" approach means:

  • An Account with multiple Insurance Policies triggers the workflow if one or more of them match — it does not require all policies to match.

  • You do not need to worry about which row position the matching record is in; the system checks all rows automatically.

Example scenario: You create a workflow that sends a follow-up task when an Account has an Insurance Policy with Status = Active AND a Related Contact with Relationship = Spouse. The workflow will fire on any Account that has at least one active policy and at least one related contact flagged as a spouse — regardless of how many total policies or contacts are on the record.

6. Save and Verify

When you are finished adding conditions:

  1. Review each condition row to confirm the correct Field, Comparator, and Value are shown.

  2. Click Save at the bottom of the workflow editor.

  3. After saving, the page will reload. Scroll back to the Conditions section to verify all rows reloaded with their saved values intact.

💡 Tip: If a condition row shows a blank field or appears to reset after saving, try refreshing the page. If the issue persists, contact Dazos support with the workflow ID visible in the page URL.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I selected "Insurance Policies" in the Related Modules dropdown but I do not see any Insurance Policies fields in the Field dropdown.

Make sure you clicked the Related Modules selector and the module name is highlighted/selected — it is a multi-select control. You may need to click Apply or trigger a change event for the fields to load. If fields still do not appear, try saving the workflow and reopening it.

Q: Can I add multiple conditions from Insurance Policies in the same workflow?

Yes. You can add as many condition rows as you need from Insurance Policies, Related Contacts, or a mix of both. There is no limit on the number of condition rows per workflow.

Q: Will conditions from Related Contacts and Insurance Policies work together in the same workflow?

Yes. You can combine conditions from both panels in any combination. Each is evaluated independently using "any match" logic against its respective panel data.

Q: What happens if an Account has no Insurance Policies or no Related Contacts?

If an Account has no records in the relevant panel, the condition cannot be satisfied and the workflow will not trigger for that Account. The system does not treat "no records" as a match.

Q: Can I use AND / OR grouping with related-module conditions?

Yes. The workflow builder supports grouping conditions into AND and OR groups. Related-module conditions participate in grouping the same way as standard field conditions. Add conditions to a group, then switch the group connector between AND and OR as needed.

Q: I saved the workflow but when I reopen it, one of the condition rows shows a different field than I selected.

This was a known issue that has been resolved in the current version. If you continue to see this behavior after the fix has been deployed to your instance, contact Dazos support and reference ticket CRM-2954.

Q: Are these conditions available for workflows on modules other than Accounts?

Not currently. Insurance Policies and Related Contacts are panels specific to the Account record, so their fields are only available as conditions on Account-targeted workflows.

Q: Can I copy or duplicate a workflow that uses these conditions?

The standard workflow copy function will carry over the condition configuration, including any Insurance Policies or Related Contacts conditions. After copying, open the duplicate and verify the Related Modules dropdown and all condition rows are populated correctly before activating it.

Need Help?

If you run into issues:

  1. Reload the workflow editor page and check whether the conditions reloaded correctly.

  2. Confirm that the Related Modules dropdown still shows the expected selections (Insurance Policies / Related Contacts).

  3. Contact Dazos support with the workflow ID from the page URL and reference CRM-2954.
