Question

Difficulty: Very hardEinstein Activity Capture and Sync Configurations

An administrator is configuring Einstein Activity Capture (EAC) for a team of sales executives who use Google Workspace. Management specifies that client emails and calendar events must automatically display on opportunity record timelines, calendar items must sync bi-directionally, and executive leadership must understand how captured data affects activity reporting in standard Salesforce reports.

Which two statements accurately describe the setup requirements and operational behavior of Einstein Activity Capture that the administrator must consider?

  1. Users must be assigned an Einstein Activity Capture permission set before they can be added to an active sync configuration in Setup.Answer
  2. Captured emails and events are stored off-core in external AWS storage, meaning they do not create standard Task or Event records and are excluded from standard Salesforce activity reports.Answer
  3. C
    New user profiles must be created and assigned to sales executives to enable the automated background capture and sync engine.
  4. D
    Enabling bi-directional event sync automatically generates standard Task records in Salesforce to ensure full compatibility with operational report types.

Answer

The correct requirements are that users must be assigned an Einstein Activity Capture permission set prior to configuration inclusion, and that captured emails/events reside on external AWS storage and thus do not appear in standard Salesforce activity reports.
Assigning users an Einstein Activity Capture permission set is a strict requirement prior to adding them to an EAC configuration. Additionally, EAC captures emails and events off-core into AWS cloud storage; while these activities appear seamlessly on record activity timelines, they do not create core Task/Event records and are excluded from standard Salesforce activity reports.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate permission assignment requirements for EAC setup.
Confirm that users require the appropriate Einstein Activity Capture permission set assigned to their user account before being selectable in EAC configurations.
Salesforce enforces license and permission checks during the EAC configuration wizard.
2
Analyze how captured activities are stored and queried in Salesforce.
Identify that EAC stores email and event data in an AWS cloud database rather than as standard Task and Event records in the core database.
Because captured data does not reside in core Salesforce object tables, standard Salesforce operational reports cannot aggregate or query EAC data.
3
Examine profile-based licensing vs permission set licensing misconceptions.
Reject profile modifications as a method for enabling EAC.
EAC feature availability is granted permissively via permission set licenses, preserving profile separation.
