What triggers a job request?

A new Link Job request is created when one of the following actions is performed in Dynamics 365 CRM:

• Link Status for a record of entities like Account, Contact, Product, Quote and Invoice is set as 'To be Linked' once clicked on Promote button.

A Link Job is executed with the link status updated as Success and on record the status updated as Linked. This works for Account, Contact and Product Entities.

• On update of linked records the Link Job will be created.
