    hey guys,

    i've managed to get as far as having an email automatically appear in the crm queue thanks to the email router.

    problem: not sure how to set a workflow to create a new contact based on the incoming email and have it be unique. i.e. i don't want to create a new contact if they already exist.

    any help?

    You'll need to create a custom workflow that fires on email Create. You will then need to program custom logic to see if the email is from a known contact and if not create the contact. 


    hope this helps you going in the right direction. If you have more questions feel free to postback.
