Clear Associated Company Fields Action in Workflows

The Clear Associated Company Fields action resets selected field values on the Company linked to a Contact in a workflow. Use it to clear outdated company information — tags, addresses, custom fields — when it no longer applies.

What this action does

• Clears selected Company fields linked to the Contact triggering the workflow.
• Removes outdated tags, locations, or custom statuses.
• Maintains data accuracy when a contact changes companies or disengages.

This action clears existing values from the specified fields. It does not delete the company record or break the association. To overwrite values instead of clearing them, use Update Associated Company.

Configure the action

Select fields to clear

Pick one or more fields from the associated Company record. Standard fields (Industry, Domain, Address) and custom fields are both supported.

Multi-field clears

Add several fields to a single action. Example: clear Tags, Address, and Website at the same time.

Clear behavior

• The action targets the primary company associated with the Contact.
• If no associated company exists, the action is skipped automatically.

Save

Click Save Action. When the workflow runs, the chosen fields on the linked company record are emptied.

Edge cases

• Available only in Contact-based workflows.
• Cannot clear contact fields — only company fields linked to the contact.
• If the contact has multiple company associations, the primary one is targeted.

Example: clear stale tags when a contact switches companies

Workflow type: Contact-based

Trigger: Contact Changed → Company Name field updated

Action: Clear Associated Company Fields

Fields to clear: POC

When a contact updates their company name, the workflow fires and the POC field on the old associated company is emptied.
