How to create a new record in a section based on an email message.

You can create a new record in any Creatio section based on an email message from the communication panel. For instance, you can add a new contact based on an email from an unknown sender. His email address and name will be automatically filled in on his edit page with the data from the linked email message. If you add another record (i.e., an opportunity, invoice or an order), Creatio will automatically populate its corresponding fields on the edit page with the contact data from the email message. Thus when you create a new opportunity the field [Customer] on the opportunity edit page will contain the name of the account or contact.

Below is an example of creating a new record based on an email message  for a contact.

1.Click the btn_com_email_tab00006.png button on the communication panel.

2.Select an email message.

3.Click the btn_com_add_tab.png  button in the top right corner of the email message and select [Add new] command (Fig. 1).
