When the EmailMessage object contains incomplete data, Salesforce’s standard reporting becomes inadequate for comprehensive email tracking. You need to combine data from multiple objects to get accurate email volume reporting.

You’ll learn how to extract and consolidate email data from Tasks, Events, and partial EmailMessage records to create complete email reporting despite data limitations.

Compensate for incomplete EmailMessage data using Coefficient

CoefficientSalesforceSalesforceprovides a solution by extracting and combining data from multipleobjects to create more complete email reporting despite EmailMessage limitations in.

How to make it work

Step 1. Extract multi-source email data.

Import from EmailMessage, Task, and Event objects simultaneously to capture emails recorded in different locations. This ensures you don’t miss email activities that aren’t captured in EmailMessage records.

Step 2. Identify Task-based email activities.

Use custom filters to identify Task records with email-related subjects and activity types. Filter for tasks containing “Email,” “Sent,” or other email indicators in the subject line.

Step 3. Correlate Event-based email data.

Extract email-related Events and correlate them with actual sent emails. Look for Events that represent scheduled email sends or follow-up activities related to email campaigns.

Step 4. Consolidate partial EmailMessage data.

Combine partial EmailMessage data with Task and Event records to create comprehensive email activity reports. Use VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH functions to merge related records.

Step 5. Build gap analysis reporting.

Create reports that identify which email activities are captured where, helping optimize future email tracking. Use conditional formatting to highlight data sources for each email activity.

Step 6. Set up automated data reconciliation.

Schedule imports to continuously monitor and combine email data from multiple sources. Configure automated refreshes that maintain comprehensive email reporting despite incomplete data.

Step 7. Create email volume estimation.

Build calculated metrics that estimate total email volume based on available partial data. Use statistical formulas to project complete email activity from incomplete sources.

SalesforceThe Email Messages object intypically captures only a fraction of your actual email activity—often showing just 657 emails over several years when thousands were actually sent.

Here’s how to extract maximum value from incomplete email data and create comprehensive email activity reports that reveal the full picture of your team’s communication efforts.

Pull data from multiple Salesforce objects using Coefficient

CoefficientSalesforcesolves this challenge by combining data from multipleobjects that native reports can’t easily access. Instead of relying solely on the incomplete Email Messages object, you can create a comprehensive view by pulling from Tasks, Events, Activities, and Email Messages simultaneously.

How to make it work

Step 1. Extract data from all email-related objects.

Use Coefficient’s custom SOQL query feature to pull data from Email Messages, Tasks, Events, and Activity History objects with complex filters. This captures email activities that may be logged differently across these objects, giving you a more complete dataset than any single object provides.

Step 2. Connect email activity with contact and lead data.

Import related Contact and Lead records using Coefficient’s lookup functionality to connect email activities with the people you’re communicating with. This creates context around your email data that helps identify patterns and measure engagement by account or opportunity.

Step 3. Set up automated tracking workflow.

Schedule hourly or daily imports to continuously pull the available email data as it’s created. Use Formula Auto Fill Down to calculate email metrics like response rates and follow-up timing, then create dynamic dashboards that update automatically as new email data becomes available.

Step 4. Build comprehensive email activity reports.

Combine all the imported data into a single dashboard that shows email volume trends, response patterns, and engagement metrics by rep or territory. Apply advanced filtering to identify gaps in the data and use historical patterns to estimate actual email volumes.

Salesforcedashboard limitations for aggregate displays include no native aggregate calculation capabilities beyond basic sums, inability to create custom calculated metrics spanning multiple objects, and dashboard components that operate independently without integration.

Here’s how to create unified dashboard panels that combine aggregate metrics with detailed bar chart visualizations using advanced calculation capabilities and flexible layouts.

How to make it work

Step 1. Prepare comprehensive data sources.

Import multiple Salesforce objects or reports that contribute to aggregate calculations, use Coefficient’s cross-object import capabilities for comprehensive metric calculation, and apply filtering to ensure data consistency across aggregate and detail views.

Step 2. Design prominent aggregate displays.

Create large, bold formatting for total revenue, overall conversion rates, or cumulative targets with conditional color coding. Position these at the panel top for immediate visibility and use prominent formatting that draws attention.

Step 3. Build supporting detail bar charts.

Add bar charts showing revenue by product, conversion by source, or progress by team with horizontal or vertical bars that visually support the aggregate story. Include data labels for precise values and position charts to create visual flow from summary to detail.

Step 4. Implement advanced aggregation techniques.

Create multi-object calculations combining Opportunity, Campaign, and Activity data for comprehensive metrics. Build weighted averages for deal sizes using probability data, calculate rolling averages and cumulative metrics using historical data, and segment analysis across territories or products.

Step 5. Set up automated aggregation features.

Use Coefficient’s Formula Auto Fill Down so aggregate calculations extend automatically to new data, schedule refreshes to maintain aggregate accuracy with business changes, apply dynamic filtering to recalculate aggregates for different segments, and use Append New Data for trend-based aggregates over time.
