Create a Salesforce Event Record Linked To Multiple Contacts

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to relate multiple Contacts to a newly created Event record. This mobile form can be completed while the mobile device is offline and the new record will be created on Salesforce once the device regains internet connection. Both Salesforce and non-Salesforce users can complete Formyoula mobile forms, and the new records will be created on Salesforce.

First, please go to your Salesforce setup page and enable the “Allow Users to Relate Multiple Contacts to Tasks and Events” option in the Activity Settings.
