    What are the criteria for sending email through the Send Direct Email Button in a custom entity?
    I have enabled the button but Email is not going when I am sending an email through this button.

    Please help me out.

      Hi,
      Please make sure “Activities +” and “Sending email (if an email field does not exist one will be created) +” checkboxes are checked on a custom entity for which you are trying to send email using the “Send Direct Email” button.

      Note: As you can see in the above screen clip, once these options are enabled you won’t be able to revert the same. So we will recommend trying first in a non-production environment.

      Hope this works for you!
      Thanks

      Hi Bharath,

      Send Email Dialog box is an OOB feature and currently not available for customization. So it is not possible to add the “CC/BCC” field in the same.

      Hope this helps!
      Thanks
