With Groove's ability to log emails and calendar events to Salesforce, your activities can be automatically associated to the correct leads, contacts, accounts, opportunities, and cases in Salesforce by default. In addition, beyond the automatic association that Groove does by default, using Search and Select allows you to log your activities to any records of your choosing, including different contacts from the auto-association, custom objects, and multiple records at a time.

Note: This feature is currently in Beta. Please ask your Groove admin to reach out to your CSM if you'd like to have it enabled for you

Admin Configuration

Salesforce admins are able to choose the standard and custom objects that your team can log activities to.

3. Update the Search and Select objects, and save
