Integration with Outlook and Gmail
•
The Work Queue isn’t always included in the email integration pane by default when Sales Engagement is enabled. If you’ve already
created a custom pane, or edited default email panes, add the Work Queue component using the Lightning App Builder. Then assign
the pane to the user profiles of users who use the Work Queue.
•
The My Feed tab in the Work Queue shows engagements and alerts for emails sent from the Work Queue and tracked emails sent
from outside the Work Queue. That information is also shown in the Feed tab in the email integration pane. To prevent duplicate
feeds for reps who use the Work Queue, use the Lightning App Builder to remove the Feed tab from the email integration pane.
Assign that custom pane to Sales Engagement users.
•
In the Outlook integration, if a user deletes the Email to Salesforce address (the BCC address) or removes the tracking information
from the email body, the email can’t be tracked.
•
If you turn email tracking off in Sales Engagement and your sales reps also use the Work Queue in Outlook or Gmail, we recommend
also turning email tracking off for the integrations. To disable email tracking in the integrations, turn off the Email Tracking option
on the Inbox Setup Assistant page in Setup.
•
Attachments in email templates aren’t supported in the Outlook or Gmail integrations. The template text inserts without the
attachment.
•
Emails sent from the Work Queue in Outlook or Gmail can bypass Email Opt Out or individual privacy preferences set in Salesforce.
Salesforce displays customers' email privacy settings, but it's up to sales reps to respect these preferences.
•
In Outlook on the web, there are limitations to how emails are threaded if reps reply to or forward an email that’s been logged to
Salesforce from the Outlook Sent Items folder. If the sent email is part of an email thread, but isn’t part of a previous cadence step,
then the email isn’t included in the thread. In this case, if the last email in the thread is the sent email, that email isn’t considered the
most recent in the thread.
•
Making calls isn’t supported in the Work Queue in the Outlook or Gmail integrations.
•
Emails sent from the Outlook or Gmail integrations initially show as In Progress in the Work Queue.
