Communications related to other CRM.COM entities

As established in /wiki/spaces/WIP/pages/10008334, a Communication is always associated with a Contact Information concurrently with a number of optional CRM.COM (Referring To) entities; if the entities are defined, information saved on the specific record can be used to be communicated to the customer by using Communication Tags.

There are two ways to create a Communication while referring to other CRM.COM entities:

  1. Via the Communications Data Entry page.
  2. Via the entity's Data Entry page, by using the Communicate Entity Action.

This manual provides information on how to Communicate the entity via the entity's Data Entry page. 
View Managing Communications to learn to communicate the entity via the Communications Data Entry page.

Log Communication Action

New Communications can be created directly from the Communication Centre, by using the Log Communication Action, available in the Action panel. In order for the Log Communication Action to be available it must be enabled through the 'Active' Communication Centre Definitions and requires a specific Contact Information to be already selected.

The Contact Information is automatically set when creating a new Communication, based on the Contact loaded in the Communication Centre.
