My emails keep getting linked to the wrong account.  They will come in from one person about a second person and get totally linked to the wrong different person. 

 

A have sent 20 or 30 screen shots to support and all they can say is 'this happens sometimes'.  Not an acceptable answer,  Anyone else had this issue and i there a fix?

    Hello Bob 
    ​This is Diana from Pipedrive Support Management Team - nice to meet you :)

    I was checking the conversation you had with support and I am happy to address anything that was less clear on the explanation provided as to why those emails were being linked to those deals. I can see we have also pointed out how to stop emails from being linked to Deals, which I understand is not your end goal. Alternatively, you can also manually unlink a specific email from a Deal.

    Feel free to continue the conversation with us in support as we are more than happy to continue to help.

    Incoming emails.  Pipedrive seems to randomly pick a contact and start assigning emails to it.  

     

    Yesterday I was cc'd on a Paypal invoice to a company in California (I am the sales agent,)  This was from a company in Ontario Canada.  The record was assigned to a random person in Minnesota 

     

    It is happening more and more.  I get lead emails from a webservice that generated the same format each time.  I havent automated it yet, ;ack pf confidence.  The lead emails get saved to different non related accounts .  3 separate attempts with support have been fruitless

    Diana, I want to clear one thing up from what you said.  Pipedrive isnt filing emails with the wrong deals, its  filing emails with the wrong contact!  

     

    I  have hundreds to fix

    Hi @Bob Winkler , I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. 

    Like my colleague @Diana mentioned, the fastest and most efficient way to continue troubleshoot this is using the live chat I can see you already have going on with Adriana from Support. 

    For urgent or technical issues Support is always the most adequate and quickest channel of communication. Thank you!

    I have so many emails going into the wrong contacts! How do you unlink an email from a deal? Why are they going in there?? I get it if the domain is the same - but they are no way related! PLEASE FIX!
