Send an Email to a Contact

Updated 2 years ago by Celina Kwan

Use this procedure to send an email message to a Contact from the Details tab of the following pane in the Address Book, Opportunities, or the Hotlist page. In the Opportunities page, you can send the message to the Contact associated with the Opportunity. In Hotlist, you can send the message to the Address Book entry associated with the Hotlist task.

When sending an email you can select an optional email type. If the selected email type requires consent, the email will not be sent to any recipients who have not opted-in to the selected email type. If no email type is selected, the email will be sent without checking the email profiles of the recipients.
