Automatically track emails sent to CRM contacts
Dynamics 365 App for Outlook will automatically check incoming emails and track them if they are from a contact. It is not possible to check outgoing emails and track if they are to a contact. The logic here should be almost identical, checking recipient list for contacts rather than the sender.
The option for automatically tracking Sent Items initially only works if a user was configured to track all emails. It was updated to work together with the other personal tracking options:
Automatically track sent folder items with server-side synchronization - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs
Administrator
Thanks for the feedback. It is possible to configure users to not automatically track any emails. This can be enabled using some different settings documented here:
Default OrgDBOrgSettings for server-side synchronization - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs
SSSForceFilteringMethodForUserMailboxes
HideEmailAutoTrackOptions
You can use one or both of the options mentioned above. There is also another setting named HideTrackAllOption.
