How to Searchbox parallel workflow make new thing and update thing

Need help
1

Hello,

I want to make a Searchbox where there will be a list of things for it to search, but in the event of the thing’s name the user is searching for is not yet added in the list of things, I want the Searchbox to be used as an input and both make a new thing in my list of things, and at the same time I want the new thing to be added to the user’s data just like it would happen if it was found through the Searchbox’s available list of things.

To better explain what I’m trying to achieve, take as an example the Company field used in LinkedIn when updating your job profile. There is a Searchbox and if the company’s name is not on the list, the name is saved as it was written by the user.

Any tips on how to best achieve this will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Create a new thing, if one doesn’t already exist, based on the typed value in the searchbox, then set it as the relevant field on the User.
