Creating Outlook Contacts from Email Signatures

Select an email from a Contact you wish to add to Outlook.

Highlight the signature within the email. Drag and drop the highlighted signature to the Drop Zone at the bottom of the Side Panel. Release the selection over the icon for Create a New Outlook Contact.

Review the information on the Contact screen within Outlook. Verify the prepopulated information and add any additional details as necessary.

Tip: If you want the Contact to sync to Salesforce, click the Link to Salesforce button. This will flag the Contact to sync to Salesforce if you have Contact Sync enabled. Leave this selection blank to create the Contact in Outlook only.

Additional Resources: Refer to the Syncing Contacts Between Outlook and Salesforce with Manual Sync section of this User Guide for more information.

Finish editing the contact information and then click the Save & Close button to create the contact.
