# Add Record Relation

This action node is used to create a relation between two records, the owning record and the target record.

<div className="ndl-image-with-background l">

![](/nodes/data/cloud-data/add-record-relation/add-relation.png)

</div>

One record is the owning record (in this case **Group** records that can have a relation to many **Post** records), it should have a **Relation** type property.

You need to provide the <span className="ndl-data">Id</span> of the owning record. You also need to provide the <span className="ndl-data">Id</span> of the record that you want to add a relation to, this is the Target Record Id input.

Finally, send a <span className="ndl-signal">signal</span> to <span className="ndl-signal">Do</span> to perform the action.
