Activities

Accounts, opportunities, contacts, and leads display related activities in each record. From the Activities panel and page, you can review email exchanges, notes, call logs, past and future tasks and appointments, as well as recent updates to that record. The activity history for each record is sometimes called its Activity Stream.

Activities Panel

The Activities panel displays a read-only version of the most urgent pending tasks (callout 1 in the screenshot) and the most recent updates or communications (callout 2). To view and update these and other activities, go to the Activities page by clicking View All Activities (callout 3).

Actions on tasks, appointments, and emails.

For example, you can call a contact on a task by clicking Call. If there's only one contact associated to the task, the call dials directly. If multiple contacts are associated, you can choose which one to call.

For emails, clicking Send Email opens an email compose window addressed to all the contacts associated with the record in the To field. Resources are copied (entered in the CC field).

You can also log an email that was sent outside the application by selecting Log an Email.
