Is it possible to work with child/parrent items of the triggering item?

Like I use "Owner changed" on an organization as the trigger, and want the newly assigned owner of the organisation, to also be assigned as owner of any Leads/Deals/Contacts associated with the organisation.

Likewise, I set a new owner on a Deal and want the newly assigned deal owner to also own the Organisation associated with the deal. 

Any idea/suggestions on how to archive this?

    You can do this using Pipedrive automation:

    You know where I can find documentation/samples on this? Feel I have looked everywhere :-)

    Trigger: Deal is Updated

    Condition: Owner has changed

    Action: Update Person/Organization contact

    That woks nicely, but

    Trigger Organisation is update
    Condition: Owner has changed

    Action: Update person Field
    Here I should be able to use [ to pick trigger values, but I get nothing.
    What i would like to do is set owner on all Contacts (Persons) that is associated with the organisation.

    You can't do that.

    Using changing owner on a deal you can set that owner to own the associated organisation.

    But not the other way around. The missing piece here is that workflow can only there being "One" related item to change. A deal only has one organisation associate. An organisation can have amanymny deals and also many contacts associated. 

    Would be nice if workflow could handle this.
