# Match Account to Account

Takes a list of Accounts from earlier in the Flow, finds matching Accounts and provides a list of [AccountToAccountMatch](https://docs.gradient.works/kb/automation-builder-kit-abk/models/accounttoaccountmatch) results for use later in the Flow. The matches can be used for assignment.

For more information on how to use this action, see [Lead and Account Matching](https://docs.gradient.works/kb/routing/matching).

Please note that you will not directly interact with these input fields as you do with some Flow Actions. Instead the Gradient Works custom editor takes care of the heavy lifting.
