I know about Ecto.Multi but was just making sure I’m doing this correctly: I have an organization table. When an organization is created, a calendar, forum, and wiki need to be created. There are calendar, forum, and wiki tables all with an organization_id column to relate it with the created organization.

You could also try out put_assoc or cast_assoc maybe:
