* This will attach the email as a subrecord to the record from which is has been triggered.

* The status of the email record is controlled by the '''Received Activity Status '''setting. If there is a [[Workflow]] defined on that status it will be triggered when the record is added.

Email Anything ensures all claimants’ or applicants’ emails are tracked and stored in their own unique record and assigned email address, eliminating lost or misplaced communications coming into a larger, communal email inbox.

You can configure the Email Anything feature so that when your external users send an email to a record, a sub-record is created on that record. Emails sent to an organization record can create contact records in the system. Emails sent to a Universal Tracking Application™record can create an activity on that record, so users can interact with and create records on your online database without even logging in!
