Does anyone know how I can append data from a Deal custom field to a Person and Org company fields using a workflow or automation process?

I have the same custom field across Deal, Person and Org records and when a new Deal is created and the custom field updated, I want the value(s) to append to the Person and Org record custom fields, but have been advised by the support team this is not possible.  Wondered if anyone knew of another tool that could help me achieve this?  The field is a multi option field.

    Hi @Harj Gadhvi !

    Any of the integration platforms listed in our marketplace (Zapier among others) would be a good option, yes. I did a quick search for you, check it out here.

    I've also sent your suggestion to the team so they can take it into consideration. Thank you for your feedback!

    Thanks Nick.  I don't suppose you could send me a screen grab of your zap, just that step that appends the custom option field?

    This didn't work with Zapier.  You can update the Person and Org fields with what's in the Deal value, but you can't append to the fields, it overwrites what's already in there.
