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.
