To enable Einstein Activity Capture: Customize Application and Modify All Data

The steps for setting up Einstein Activity Capture are the same regardless of which license you use to access Einstein Activity Capture. You give Sales Cloud Einstein users access to Einstein Activity Capture when you assign the Sales Cloud Einstein permission set to them. After you turn on Einstein Activity Capture, Salesforce asks assigned Sales Cloud Einstein users to connect their email account to Salesforce. It takes up to 24 hours for their emails and events to be initially added to Salesforce.
