Find Email Sent from a Salesforce Record in Lightning Experience
After you send an email, Salesforce creates an email record to track the email and store
its content. The activity feed includes a link to that email. If you sent email to a contact or
lead, each of those records includes a link to the email.
Required Editions
Available in: Salesforce
Lightning Experience
Available in: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance,
Unlimited, and Developer Editions
User Permissions Needed
To view sent email:
View Tasks permission and access to the record the email was sent from.
For emails that don’t include any contact or lead records as recipients in the To
field, the email and the feed item are created for the record specified in the Related To field
when you sent the email.
If you use Automatic BCC, as defined in your email settings, you receive a copy of the email
in the inbox of your specified return address.
Note If your company does not have Enhanced Email enabled, Salesforce saves sent emails as task records instead of
email records. You find the task records the same way you would find email records. If you are
unsure of whether your company uses Enhanced Email, speak with your administrator.
Open either the record that was originally open when you wrote the email or the record for
the contact or lead you sent it to.
To find the email in Past Activity, click the Activity tab.
To open the email’s task record, where you can view the message and related details, click
the email link. And if you use Automatic BCC, you can find the sent email in your inbox.
