Einstein Activity Capture (EAC) connects each rep's Microsoft or Google account to Salesforce and automatically captures their emails, calendar events, and contacts, relating them to records such as contacts, leads, and opportunities so reps stop logging activity by hand. The captured interaction data also powers EAC's own AI insights (Einstein Email Insights and Recommended Connections), feeds scoring features such as Einstein Opportunity Scoring, and gives Agentforce sales actions real customer context.
Core information
  • EAC syncs a user's connected Microsoft or Google account with Salesforce and can auto-capture three data types: email, events, and contacts. Captured emails appear on the activity timelines of related account, contact, lead, opportunity, contract, and quote records, and synced meetings become Event records on the Salesforce calendar.
More details and nuances
  • Whether Einstein Email Insights is on depends on license and org setup. It turns on by default with EAC for Performance or Unlimited Edition users and add-on license holders, and orgs with only Standard EAC users must turn it on. In new orgs where Sync Email as Salesforce Activity is on by default, Email Insights starts off and must be turned on manually.
