Tip To use text from your document in the Log a Call comments section without copying and pasting, highlight the text before you click **Log an Activity**. The highlighted text automatically appears in the Comments field.

1. In a document, click the **Salesforce Actions cloud**.

2. Select **Log an Activity**.
3. Select an object type. Object types are listed by the Object API name.

4. To log activity related to a record, enter a record name.
5. Select the activity type you want to track in Salesforce. Log a Call, New Task, and New Event are available only if they’re enabled for the object type.
6. Complete the remaining activity fields.
7. Save the action.

Your activity now appears in the related record’s Activity Timeline.
