Note
Note Enhanced Email is required to relate any email to Salesforce from the Gmail integration.

With Enhanced Email:

  • Reps can relate emails to Salesforce records while composing the emails.
  • Reps can select which contacts, leads, and users to relate the email to.
  • When reps relate an email to a relevant account, opportunity, case, or custom object, all contacts, leads, and users on the email are automatically related.
  • Related emails maintain their rich HTML formatting, so emails have the same look and feel in Salesforce as they did in Gmailâ„¢.
  • Related emails are saved as Email Message records.

Considerations for Enhanced Email with the Gmail Integration

Before turning on Enhanced Email for the Gmail integration, review the following considerations:

  • Sales reps can relate an email to people, including contacts, leads, and Salesforce users who are included on the email recipient list.
  • In addition to the email recipients, sales reps can relate an email to one more Salesforce record, such as account, opportunity, case, or custom object.
  • For emails related to a case, sales reps can change the relationship to another case after deleting the original Email Message record. The change removes the original relationships.
  • For emails related to a lead, sales reps can change the relationship to another lead if that lead is the email’s recipient or sender.
  • For emails related to an account, opportunity or a custom object record, sales reps can change the relationship to any other Salesforce records, except cases.
