Disabling Salesforce Record Creation in Embedded Relate

Admins can prevent users from creating new Salesforce records through Embedded Relate’s Conversation widget. When Salesforce record creation in Embedded Relate is disabled, this restriction:

  • Blocks responses to messages from phone numbers not associated with existing Salesforce records
  • Shows users a message preview from unassociated numbers, but only allows them to mark as spam or hide the conversation
  • Only applies to the Conversations widget and doesn’t affect record creation in non-Yext Salesforce interfaces or Web/Mobile

By default, Salesforce record creation in Embedded Relate is enabled. To disable Salesforce Record Creation:

  1. Go to Yext Admin in Salesforce
  2. Select Settings in the side menu
  3. Switch the toggle for Enable record creation.

Preview for message received from unassociated number. Note that Salesforce record creation is disabled.
