User Setup

Now, each user can connect an email account and define their own personal sync settings. Here is a video tutorial you may share with your users.

  • After a user is added to the contacts sync configuration, Einstein Activity Capture creates a folder called Salesforce_Sync (Microsoft Exchange) or a group called Salesforce Sync (Google) within the user’s email account. Users choose which contacts to sync by moving those contacts into the Salesforce_Sync folder or Salesforce Sync group.

  • Users can also define capture settings for activity sharing.

  • Users can connect multiple Google G Suite accounts, or multiple Outlook accounts, but cannot connect both Google and Outlook accounts simultaneously.

Install the Salesforce Extension in Outlook/Gmail

OUTLOOK

  • The Outlook administrator can install the Salesforce plug-in onto each user's email application. Or, if users have permission to install plug-ins, they can install it themselves by accessing Add-Ins in their Outlook application, or by visiting Microsoft AppSource.

GMAIL

  • Each user will need to install the Salesforce extension in their browser by visiting the Chrome Web Store.

Once installed, log in to the Salesforce pane using your Rethink login credentials.
