Hi Team, @pgr @crmspace

I would need to relate Activities to Account & Opportunity simultaneously.

ATM If we relate any Activity to Opportunity , we were not able to relate it to Account simultaneously.

Can you please help me on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards,
Sravani

Hi,
you could work with an additional relationship (e.g. accounts <-> tasks) and either populate both relationships manually (opp <-> tasks and acc <-> tasks) or you do a hook/workflow to relate the task to the opp’s account too (“when selecting an opp within a task, relate the respective account too”).
Downside: if done manually, users need to keep this in mind and actually do the second step.

Second option: you could create an artificial subpanel on the accounts DetailView. This subpanel is populated with a query and first retrieves all opps of the account and from them the related tasks.

Downside for both options: a second subpanel for tasks will be created (“tasks from opportunities”) which is not automatically merged with the activity-/history-subpanel.

Thats why I would first try something else: both the activity and the history subpanel work much like the described artificial subpanel. Try to find the queries that populate these subpanels, and union the missing tasks from there.
