Create Asset Contact Participants in Automotive Cloud

Use Asset Contact Participant records to relate every asset in your org—a vehicle, a part, or an accessory—to relevant Contact records. You can relate an asset to multiple stakeholders and track the contacts related to each asset. For example, you can track the sales relation manager of the dealership branch where the asset is stocked. You can also track the support manager or the driver of a vehicle. One asset can have multiple contact participants.
