  • Hello,

    I believe that there is no out-of-box flags that will answer your question.

    I did some investigation regarding the same issue for CRM 4.0 so you can use it as a starting point - http://a33ik.blogspot.com/2011/08/ms-crm-40-detach-email-from-queue-when.html

  • Hi Dhaval,

    I don't think direction column will help here, but a simple work around could be to use java script and check if Subject field contains "RE:" in starting it means it is replied activity.

    Hi,

    the direction ("directioncode") attribute is used to identify if the email was sent out of CRM or if it was received (differentiates between incoming/outgoing). But I don't think this can help you either, because you can't assume that an outgoing email is a reply.

    I think you can only use a workaround, such as the one that Mahender suggested.

  • Hi Dhaval,

    Thank you for the response.

    Really there is no flag kind of concept available for e-mail activity?

  • As far as my knowledge concerns and i got answers from other users in this forum, there is no flag available for reply e-mails.

    You can cross-check with other users.

    Thanks
