FAQ

How this task behaves.

    Can the AI create new accounts for me?

    No. The AI can only search for and log activities to existing accounts or contacts.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my Salesforce data?

    No. This MCP only has permission to search and log activities. It cannot delete or overwrite existing records.

  • 03

    What happens if the AI can't find the contact?

    The AI will tell you it couldn't find a matching contact. It won't guess or create a new one without your instruction.

    No. You can just use the name of the person or company, and the AI will find the ID for you.

  • 05
