Recording an Email to Salesforce from IBM Notes

Review the Choose Attachments to Record section within the Record window.

Select the checkbox for each attachment to record along with the email.

Tip: Attachments are listed but deselected by default in LinkPoint Connect. This gives users the ability to control the items that are recorded to Salesforce. Many emails contain graphics, such as social media icons in email signatures, that do not need to be recorded to Salesforce.

Additional Resource: Refer to the Configuring LinkPoint Connect Record Functionality section of this User Guide for more information on configuring default attachment record settings.

Select the Check all or Uncheck all options to select or deselect all of the attachments in the list.

Click the Record Now button to record and send the email, or continue to work on the Record options by editing the email content before recording.

Tip: You can also drag and drop attachments from your email or anywhere on your desktop and release the file on the Attachments icon to record the attachment. If you release the attachment over the Attachments icon on the Business Card, the attachment will be recorded to the Contact or Lead record. If you release the attachment over the Attachments icon on an Opportunity or Case record, the attachment will be recorded to the corresponding record in Salesforce.
