What it does

The moment a new account is created in Salesforce, this workflow resolves its corporate parent and stitches it into the existing account family in real time. New signups and rep-created accounts land already parented, so duplicate top-level entries never accumulate.

When to use it

Use it when self-serve signups or rapid rep entry create a flood of new accounts that should belong to an existing customer family. You want the link applied at creation, not days later in a batch sweep.

How it works

  1. 1A Salesforce outbound webhook fires on account create.
  2. 2Normalize the new account's domain and legal name.
  3. 3Look up the corporate parent in the Snowflake family reference table.
  4. 4Branch: if a parent account already exists in Salesforce, set ParentId; if the parent is known but not yet in Salesforce, create the parent shell first, then link.
  5. 5Write the ParentId (and create parent if needed) back to Salesforce.
  6. 6Notify the owning rep in Slack that their new account was auto-linked.
