Additional Resources: Users can further refine the Salesforce objects and fields included throughout the Side Panel in the Preferences Pane. Refer to the Edit Preferences section of this User Guide for more information.

Tip: Users must select at least one record to relate the email to in Salesforce before the attachment can be recorded.
Note that the attachment is listed in the Related to Salesforce section. The file will be uploaded to Salesforce and related to all of the listed records when the email is recorded. Attachments on inbound emails are recorded in real time when Relate to Salesforce selections are made. Attachments on outbound emails are recorded when the email is sent.
