Related tab in the Email interaction view
The Related tab is part of the interaction view. It might not be available in all environments.
The Related tab enables you to access all the interactions that are related to a single conversation. Sometimes multiple email interactions are created in the handling of a single case. Multiple individuals, both within and outside your organization, might also contribute to a single conversation.
The Related tab displays all the email interactions that are related to the current email interaction. Related interactions display as cards that contain information about each related interaction, including business attributes. Next to the title of the tab, the number of related interactions is specified in brackets. If there are 10 or more related interactions, the number 9+ is displayed.
The Related tab includes three main components:
