Standard Task Mapping Overview

Purpose: 

The purpose of this article is to provide direction to Outreach Admins in customizing the subject line of activities that post to a CRM. 

Intended Audience: 

• Outreach Admins

Notes: 

• Outreach retains the [Outreach] tag on all activities posted to a CRM to assist admins in identifying which user/system is responsible for posting that activity. 
• Outreach uses the [App], [Gmail/Mobile], [Office365/Mobile], or [Exchange/Mobile] tags as applicable for the email service designation to reinforce the messages initiated from or were received at the regular inbox. 
• Activity titles must be configured on the Contact and Lead objects separately. Outreach recommends if setting up these activities on both the Lead and Contact objects, to confirm the activities and the corresponding settings, mirror one another. 
• The CRM Sync experience listed here includes both the Classic Plugin experience and the new Enhanced CRM Sync Experience which is currently in Beta. For instructions on the Enhanced CRM Sync Experience, see section Enhanced CRM Sync Beta.
