When I reply to an email I expect that the new email will carry forward ALL of the connections of the original email.  Instead, at least one connection, Activity, is left blank.  

Can this functionality be added?

We are using rev. 8.0.1.1990 cloud based Sales module.

Thank you.

Hi John,

 

Could you please confirm what you mean by the connections? Are you referring to the 'connected to' detail or the connected emails?

A screenshot would be much appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Anastasiia

Anastasiia Lazurenko,

Connected to.  These connections are copied forward to the reply email:

  • Account - yes
  • Chat - unknown
  • Document - unknown
  • Opportunity - yes
  • Activity - NO
  • Contact - Yes
  • Lead - unknown

Hi John,

 

Thank you for confirming. This is the basic logic of the application. The thing is if you forward a letter - there is no business value in connecting the very same email to the same activity. We have registered a task for our R&D team to review this logic. I will assign your case to the project in order to raise its priority.

 

Best regards,

Anastasiia

On the contrary, there is every business reason to maintain all of the connections on an email when replying to that email.  In essence, all of the connected objects make up continuous threads of activity on those connected objects.  It's the same logic behind maintaining the Account link, or the Opportunity link, etc. 

 

I believe my expectation of the behavior (copying/maintaining all of the connections) is what any user would expect.

The activity bar on top of Accounts, Contacts, Leads, ... allows me to send an email from those objects - so far so good.

 

Is there a way to close the email-section after sending those emails as this uses a lot of space?

And is it possible to show an todo-popup after sending an email? How to customize this?

Christian Waidner,

 

the code below added to the replaced LeadSectionActionsDashboard module will:

 

1) hide the tasks bar automatically after the email is sent from the task bar

2) open an activity mini page (as you click on the "Activity" icon in the task bar)

define("LeadSectionActionsDashboard", [],
    function() {
        return {
            attributes: {},
            messages: {
                "ActionsDashboardMessagePublished": {
                    mode: this.Terrasoft.MessageMode.BROADCAST,
                    direction: this.Terrasoft.MessageDirectionType.SUBSCRIBE
                }
            },
            methods: {
                subscribeSandboxEvents: function() {
                this.sandbox.subscribe("ActionsDashboardMessagePublished", this.executeMessageHandler, this,
                    []);
                this.callParent(arguments);
                },
                executeMessageHandler: function() {
                    setTimeout(this.hideTabs(), 1000);
                    setTimeout(this.openTask(), 1000);
 
                }
            },
            diff: /**SCHEMA_DIFF*/[]/**SCHEMA_DIFF*/
        };
    }
);

ActionsDashboardMessagePublished - is the base message present in the BaseMessagePublisherPage module, hideTabs is the base method that hides tabs (located in the BaseActionsDashboard) and openTask is the method from the BaseActionsDashboard that opens the activity page.

 

In case you need to replace it everywhere in the system you need to place this code in the replaced BaseActionsDashboard module.

Hello Christian!

 

You can hide this panel with the help of the OOB tools. Please, use the  button for folding ↑ which is on the same panel to the right.

 

 

Best regards,

Kate

OK - I had to be more specific in my question it seems.

 

I know that you can close this section manually.

 

Is there a way to do it programatically? I do not want to send one email after another. Just send one mail and then automatically close that section.

                }
            },
            methods: {

                    setTimeout(this.hideTabs(), 1000);
                    setTimeout(this.openTask(), 1000);

As i have not done a lot of creatio customization I struggle a bit where to place your piece of code. My LeadSectionsActionDashboard module looks like this.

Help is appreciated

Hello there,

I've got a question about email templates in business processes and the signature configured in the mailbox settings.

Is it possible to remove the signature from emails with templates?

Our problem is that the signature is bound to the left and the templates is in the middle, so the signature won't fit style wise. 

On normal emails the signature should still be filled in automatically.

Hello Markus,

 

We investigated this behaviour and currently, the system behaves correctly since you can add a macro in the signature so it could fit the template or depend on some value.



We have already registered the idea for our R&D team to implement this functionality in further releases. I will assign your case to this project in order to increase its priority. 



Best regards,

Bogdan

Hello Community!

I have modified the Activity object in order to display a custom Object (Order) and added an Activity column too. 

Now, when clicking on the RightSideMenu I have the same object (Activity = Attività, and Ordini = Orders) repeated twice. Does anybody know which module is in charge of displaying the options within this menu? Or do you have any idea of what the "cleanest" solution might be?

Thank you and have a great day! :)

Federica,

 

Basically, there is a table in the database called EntityConnection. You can delete all the records from this table that refer to the objects which you do not need (for example, contact, requests etc).

You can do the following:

delete from EntityConnection where SysEntitySchemaUid in (select Uid from SysSchema where Name = '')

where '' is the name of the object, for example, Contact.

But the thing is if you delete the records from the EntityConnection table - the next fields on the activity page will be deleted automatically as well:

Thank you Bogdan! That's exactly what I did (according to your suggestion) ! :) Do you happen to know how to change the icon too? 

 

I made a few tests and to access the icons I need to implement EmailItemSchema client module

Hi community,

 

I was wondering what is the OOTB synchronization time of e-mails with Creatio ?

 

And how can I change this parameter ?

 

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

 

in the newer versions of a system (starting 7.17.1) where Exchange Listener is turned on, the synchronization runs in real-time (may take about 60 seconds to find a new mail).

 

Unfortunately, there is no option to change this setting in the current configuration.

 

Kind regards,

Gleb.

Gleb,

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

For on-premise installations, should we update the Exchange listener service in addition to Creatio to benefit of this new real-time functionnality ?

 

Best regards,

Jonathan

Jonathan Quendoz,

 

please note that Exchange Listener is a separate application and it should be updated apart from Creatio.

 

But usually - yes, we would recommend updating the Exchange Listener along with the main application.

 

Kind regards,

Gleb.

Gleb,

 

I have not found the link to update the Exchange Listener in the update guide :

 

https://academy.creatio.com/docs/release/update-guide/update-guide

 

Where could I find it in the Academy ?

 

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Gleb,



any information on where to find the exchange listener update procedure in the documentation ?

Hello Marijana, 

 

In order to delete the object from this list, there is a need to delete corresponding records from the EntityConnection system table.

You can delete all the records from this table that refer to the objects which you do not need (for example, contact, requests etc).

You can do the following:

delete from EntityConnection where SysEntitySchemaUid in (select Uid from SysSchema where Name = ''), 

where '' is the name of the object, for example, Contact.

But let me mention, that if you delete the records from the EntityConnection table - the corresponding fields will be deleted not only from this list but also from the "Connected to" detail of the email activity page:

mailbox_synchronization

Hi team,

 

Do you have any idea why mailbox synchronization from my customer is not working well? They told us that they always have the problem that mails from this folder are not synchronized. When they synchronized it manually it works. 

One example: On April 26, the synchronization worked. Not again on April 27, and a day later on April 28 all emails from April 27 appeared in the CRM.

I checked the system settings regarding mailbox synchronization interval and all looks good: 

Can you please help me out with this issue? What do you think it could be a problem?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Kind regards,

Hello team,

 

I have a question regarding linking email to Activity. Is there any difference with using this way to link email :

or this way using "+" button:

In documentation there are no words that these two ways are different but I am asking this because my client is having problem with this. Precisely In first way of linking email one Activity is missing, but when they are using "+" button it's there. 

 

Can you please help me out with is problem, what do you think could be an issue?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Marijana,



There is no difference in these two variants on how to bind the email to the needed object.

 

But on the email preview, there are only two options to bind the email. 



But you can click the "+" button in the top right corner of the email message and select the [ Add new ] command and there will be available more objects to bind the email.



Best regards,

Bogdan

Hi,

 

it would give the user better clarity to have the ability to assign names to sections and columns in email designer. 

1 comments

Hello Jasmin, 

 

We confirmed this information with a responsible R&D team and indeed as of now there is no option to rename these sections or columns, they were designed with "service" titles (section 1,2,3 etc) and renaming option was not implemented for them. 



I have registered a corresponding query for our R&D team to consider implementing this functionality in the upcoming versions of the main application. 



Thank you for the idea and helping us to make our Application better!

Best regards,

Anastasiia
