Objective

The purpose of this article is to provide direction to Outreach Admins in mapping email tasks between Outreach and Salesforce.

When enabled, Advanced Task Mapping for Email Tasks creates a Mailing Task on the Lead or Contact record in the CRM. Based on the CRM plugin settings, when the Email Task is completed in Outreach, the corresponding Task is marked complete in the CRM. 

Applies To

  • Outreach Admins

Notes: 

  • Some Outreach views and options require admin-level governance permissions. If the options outlined in this article are unavailable, contact the Org's Outreach Administrator as applicable. For more information regarding governance profile settings, refer to the Governance Profile Settings Overview article.

    Users can access advanced settings and add custom values such as variables to sync to the CRM

Note: There is no need to alter any advanced field settings options for any of these fields. Outreach has added the necessary advanced field options for you -- making changes to Advanced Field Settings can prevent data from syncing correctly or delete data being loaded into the CRM.

Finally, it is important to turn off the Outbound Message sent within each Outbound toggle on the Lead and Contact Sync Settings for messages within the messages and events settings. This will prevent duplicate email tasks from being created.
