For example, this **Create a new record** action creates a new "Tasks" record and shows how some of these field types require values that match the required data types.

This example shows how the **Create a new record** action creates a new "Tasks" record that's associated with other entity records, specifically a user record and an account record. The action specifies the IDs and lookup types for those entity records by using values that match the expected data types for the relevant properties.

* The action assigns the new task record to a specific user ID, based on the record ID in the **Owner** field and the lookup type in the **Owner Type** field.

* Based on the **Owner** property, which specifies a user ID, and the **Owner Type** property, which specifies the `systemusers` lookup type, the action associates the new "Tasks" record with a specific user.
