I am trying to great a Global Action button that will redirect my users to the standard create new contact page in salesforce. I can get the page to pull up fine, but I can’t get the AccountID to pass into the Account field.
Here is my redirect URL:
/setup/ui/recordtypeselect.jsp?ent=Contact&retURL=%2F{{{$Model.Contact.data.AccountId}}}&save_new_url=%2F003%2Fe%3FretURL%3D%252F{{{$Model.Contact.data.AccountId}}}%26accid%3D{{{$Model.Contact.data.AccountId}}}
Any idea what could be wrong?

+17you need to indicate the row number. If you only have one record in the model (like a detail page), then it is row 0. Modify your merges like this: {{{$Model.Contact.data.0.AccountId}}}
+4Thanks Raymond. That works except in the case where my contact model is empty (i.e. there aren’t any contacts already associated with the account). Any ideas for that?
+17If you aren’t populating that parameter anyway, you should be able to just drop it out of the URL.
+4I figured it out. Had to run this as a run multiple actions button and re-query the model before my redirect.
