Find entity by e-mail addresses

When checked, the system searches your CRM for a record with e-mail addresses.

Select for more infoClosed The system resolves the From, To, CC, BCC field into an entity reference. It's possible that the same e-mail address occurs in multiple types of records, such as example.com could be the e-mail address of an Account and a Contact. You can specify the Entity search order to inform the system on which record takes priority. For example, suppose Contact is put before Account on the search order. In that case, the system converts the e-mail for Contact into an entity reference. The system cannot accept user input collected at run-time.
