How to bind emails to Creatio records manually

You can bind email messages to other records manually:

  • By using a special email field where you can specify a Creatio record to bind (Fig. 1).

As a result, the bound email message will be displayed in the [History] tab of the activity page.

You can also bind an email message to other Creatio records using the btn_com_add_tab00011.png button in the top right corner of the message. To do this:

1.Click the btn_com_add_tab00012.png button and select [Link email to] command (Fig. 2).

2.From the displayed menu, select an object, for example, “Account”.

3.In the opened window, select the necessary account from the lookup.

The two methods of binding emails to Creatio records work identically.
