Hello,
Following a recent reconfiguration of Einstein Activity Capture synchronization, one of our users has been experiencing a continuous and abnormal increase in the number of contacts stored in Outlook.
The Outlook account now contains more than 40,000 contacts, and the number continues to grow. This issue also affects the user's mobile device because Outlook contacts are synchronized to the phone, making contact management and Outlook usage very difficult.
Observations:
- The user is assigned the Einstein Activity Capture Permission Set.
- The contacts created in Outlook appear with the "Sync Salesforce" category.
- The number of contacts keeps increasing, even though no mass contact creation is expected.
- Cleanup is extremely difficult due to the volume of contacts.
- Exporting contacts from Outlook only retrieves around 10,000 contacts, while the total exceeds 40,000.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue with Einstein Activity Capture or Outlook contact synchronization? If so, what was the root cause and how did you resolve it?
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
