Converting emails

You can convert an inbound or outbound email communication, where the action type is Email In or Email Out, to a Case, Opportunity, or Lead.

If Email Management is installed, inbound emails are automatically filed against the matching Person or Company record. You can then convert the email directly to a customer service case using the workflow buttons on the right-hand side of the Communication screen.

  1. Open the Email In/Out communication that was created when you sent or received the email.
  2. Select New Case, New Opportunity, or New Lead from Create.
  3. Enter the details of the Case, Opportunity, or Lead and click Save. The Case, Opportunity, or Lead is saved against the person or company you emailed.
