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 button on the communication panel.
2.Select an email message.
3.Click the button in the top right corner of the email message and select [Add new] command (Fig. 1).
4.Select an object (the type of Creatio record to create) from the menu, for example, “Contact” Fig. 2).
5.A new contact edit page will be created, its [Name] and [Email] will be populated with the email message data. You can modify the entered data manually before saving the changes (Fig. 3).
As a result, a new record based on the email message data will appear in the [Contacts] section .
