JO communcations are not logged in Salesforce

We log it as a chatter post in GS, which shows up in the account record. We are moving towards using chatter as an audit trail of account activities rather than the activities objects. 

hey Josh - how do you log it to Chatter? PS - saw some of your EMEA folks last week.

Chad,
Check this article out, it gives an overview of Chatter integration.

Hi Eric,

This is a common ask that I hear from customers. One solution that I've seen work really well is to log the email send as a closed task in Salesforce. You can do this by following the 'Load to SFDC object' instructions here.

Let me know if you have any specific questions as you work through this that I can assist with!

Also - I just realized this post is 3 months old, so you may have already solved this. 🙂

This is our #1 roadblock to expanded use of CoPilot. My team wants the emails sent by CoPilot to be logged as an email (not as a Salesforce Task) just as if the team used the BCC: field.

Agreed -- this is our #1 roadblock to using CoPilot as well

Hey Matt/Alice,

Can you tell me more about your SFDC BCC functionality? How do emails get associated to contacts or accounts when BCC is used?

FYI - In the Copilot outreach you can use the Email Copy functionality and type in any email address you'd like to CC on each outreach. This is essentially a BCC (as your contact receiving the email will not see the CC information).

Thanks,
Devin

Eric / Matt / Alice,

In next release, we are coming up with an option to key-in the SFDC email address in Cockpit config under Administration. All the outreach emails will be sent to that email address (Except sample runs). Will this address the requirements?

Devin,

There is a feature in SFDC where you can create an email address which can receive the Bcc copy of the email and then it will log it as an activity under the contact it finds with the email address in "To:" field.

What happens with our Email copy feature is that, copilot sends a separate copy of email with the SFDC email address in "To:" field. Gainsight includes to whom the original email is sent to in the body of this email. Because of this SFDC will not be able to log it under that contact and it will show under Unresolved items in SFDC.

Thanks for your feedback

Sundar, we would definitely take another look were that piece of SFDC functionality added. 

Matt, Will keep you posted once that feature is released from Gainsight to plug into it.
