We have a "champion" field in our sf.com account record. That field is a lookup field on the contact record.

I'm trying to have access to the corresponding email address for this contact, to use in a survey program (JO). Either through a power list or query builder (or something else). Since the email of that contact is not in the account record as a field, is there a way to fetch it easily?

Thanks!

Hi Lyne,

You'd want to use bionic query and do two fetch tasks:

1) pull in the champion on each account and the contact ID that it looks up to

2) pull in all contacts, their email and their contact ID

Then do a merge, creating a new data set that links the account info with the contact info, using the contact ID field as the merge field.

Thanks Dan. I cannot find a contact ID for that look-up field so I'm waiting on my sf.com admin to help out here. I'm sure there is an ID field. Just need the right permission to see it, no doubt.
