How Users Set Up Einstein Activity Capture (English only)
Depending on how your Salesforce admin set up Einstein Activity Capture, your Microsoft or Google account can already be connected. You can still customize some Einstein Activity Capture settings and learn how to get the most out of your data.
Tip If your admin enabled Inbox, you also have access to some or all Inbox
features.
- Connect Your Email and Calendar to Salesforce with Einstein Activity Capture or Inbox
Depending on how your Salesforce admin configures Einstein Activity Capture, it’s possible that you’re responsible for connecting or reconnecting your Microsoft or Gmail account to Salesforce. If you use Lightning Email and have access to Inbox features, connect an account to Salesforce. - Email Data Capture Configuration for Sync Email as Salesforce Activity
When Sync Email as Salesforce Activity is enabled in Einstein Activity Capture, you can control the amount of email data captured: entire email message or header only. The header-only capture option gives you more privacy by letting you capture only the sender, recipients, and date and time the email was sent. - Preparing to Sync Events with Einstein Activity Capture

Events aren’t added to the Salesforce calendar. And events aren’t synced between Salesforce and the connected accounts. - Control How Your Captured Emails Are Shared
Choose how to share email data that Einstein Activity Capture adds to the activity timeline of related Salesforce records. Share with all users, Chatter groups, or no one. - Set Up a Group for Sharing Activities
The group’s owner or manager can enable email and event sharing for private and unlisted Chatter groups. Then, Einstein Activity Capture users within the group can share their emails and events with all group members.
