These settings let you find new contacts and opportunity contact roles. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field. In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See [Settings](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_settings.htm "Represents the organization settings related to a feature. For example, your password policies, session settings and network access controls are all available in the SecuritySettings component type.") for details. ## File Suffix and Directory Location AutomatedContactsSettings values are stored in the AutomatedContacts.settings file in the settings folder. The .settings files are different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each settings component. ## Version AutomatedContactsSettings is available in API versions 48.0 and later. ## Fields
