Communications related to other CRM.COM entities

As explained in Creating Communications a communication will always be related to a Contact and at the same time with a number of other CRM.COM entities, which are not mandatory to be defined, however if they are you have the option to use information saved on the specific record to communicate to the customer by using Communication Tags. Use of Communication tags is closely related to the Referring To entity and Communicate Entity action as only communication tags, of Referring To entities can be used when creating a communication apart from plain text.

There are 2 ways to create a communication while referring to other CRM.COM entities:

1. Via Communication data entry page

3. Click on the link to navigate to the Data Entry Page
4. From the Actions Menu click on Actions > "Communicate Entity"
   
   1. The Communication detail page opens in a modal window and the carried over information will be set in the "Referring To" tab in view mode along with the Contact in the Main Information section.

Log Communication Action

New communications can be created directly through the Communication Centre, through the log communication action, which is available in the Communication Centre's action panel. The log communication action needs to be enabled through the active Communication Centre definitions in order to be able to use it and is available only if a specific contact information was already selected.

On creating a new communication the contact information is automatically set, based on the contact information that was already selected, and is not editable.
