Usage
To use this action, enable Sync Email as Salesforce Activity. The action is designed mainly to be used within the Activities: Match Email to Records flow.
How It Works
This action uses as input a list of email addresses from a sent email captured automatically by Einstein Activity Capture or Inbox. The action queries the Email field in User records that have these criteria.
- Active user
- Not an API-only user
- Standard user type
- User logged in within the last 365 days
If an email address doesn’t have a corresponding user record and has an internal domain, then the action ignores the email address and doesn’t include it in output. Internal domains are configured in Einstein Activity Capture settings.
You can choose to use the addresses in Unmatched Email Addresses in other actions for further processing, such as matching them to contacts or leads.
Tiebreakers
If an email address matched more than one user record, then all matching user records are stored in Matched Users in output. To add tiebreaker logic, consider using custom Apex code.
Limitations
This action is limited to usage within a flow. It can't be invoked through other methods such as Apex, REST API, Copilot, Prompt Studio, or Einstein Bots. While actions can typically be invoked through various frameworks like InvocableActionService, this specific action is restricted solely to Flow.
If the activityId field is empty when debugging this action, use the Developer Console to query StagedEmail for a value.
