Requirements: Company Network requires Bulk API Access. Users need to have connected their mailboxes to sync to Ebsta. Connect a mailbox to sync to Ebsta
Company network is built by analysing all the people your company is interacting with via email and Salesforce. Ebsta parses the email headers and email signatures of every person who communicates with anyone across your entire organisation. This information is then compared to records in Salesforce to create a network of people known both in and out of Salesforce.
This company network can be used to understand the true strength of relationships across the business and also to identify missing and out-of-date records in Salesforce.
This article covers:
Access Company Network
1. Open up the Ebsta Console by clicking on the following link sign in with your Salesforce credentials:

Understanding Company Network
Missing Contacts
By default, Company Network will open on this view. This table identifies people that your organisation has engaged with via email that are related to Account records in Salesforce but that don't exist as Contact records in Salesforce.
Ebsta displays their name, email address, the Account they relate to along with the last interaction date and the current Relationship Score of that Account.
Missing Leads
This table identifies people that your organisation has engaged with via email that aren't related to an Account or Contact record in Salesforce.
Again, Ebsta displays their name and email address along with the last interaction date and generates a Relationship Score for them based on previous interactions.
Data Changes
This table identifies records in Salesforce that have missing or out-of-date fields, for example a new Job Title or contact details that have been found in an email signature.
Ebsta displays the record name, the data alert type, the new value for the field and the field that this new value should be mapped to.
All
This a table of all the missing and/or out-of-date records from the three other views.
Results Filters

You can use the Last Updated filter to adjust the records displayed in the table.
You can also filter the results to exclude certain records from displaying by clicking the filter button in the Person column.
