- A
Review the Exchange Online mailbox audit logs to see if emails are being accessed.
Why wrong: This might be useful later but is not the first step.
- B
Check the email synchronization frequency in the Einstein Activity Capture settings.
Why wrong: Sync frequency is not likely the cause of the 60% rate; it's usually real-time.
- C
Confirm that the Salesforce connected app is authorized in Exchange Online.
Authorization issues can cause partial logging; checking this first is efficient.
- D
Ensure that all users have the 'Email Integration' permission enabled in their profiles.
Why wrong: This permission is not required for Activity Capture.

This AI Associate practice question tests your understanding of ai associate exam topics. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A global retail company with 50,000+ users has deployed Einstein Activity Capture across Sales and Service Clouds. After two weeks, the VP of Sales reports that only 60% of emails sent from Outlook are being logged in Salesforce. Users have installed the Einstein Activity Capture plugin and have the correct permission set. The admin has verified that the email logging settings are enabled for all users. The company uses Exchange Online. What should the admin investigate first?

Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Confirm that the Salesforce connected app is authorized in Exchange Online.
Option C is correct because Einstein Activity Capture for Exchange Online requires an OAuth 2.0 connected app authorization in Exchange Online to access mailbox data. Even if the plugin is installed and permissions are set, without the connected app being authorized, the service cannot retrieve email metadata, causing a significant logging gap. This is the first thing to verify since it is a common misconfiguration during initial setup.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Salesforce often tests the distinction between user-level permissions (like permission sets) and service-level authorization (like connected app consent), leading candidates to focus on user settings when the real issue is a missing OAuth authorization between the two systems.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Einstein Activity Capture uses OAuth 2.0 with the Microsoft Graph API to access Exchange Online mailboxes. The connected app registration in Azure AD grants delegated permissions (e.g., Mail.Read) that allow Salesforce to fetch email metadata. If the admin fails to grant admin consent or the app is not properly registered, the OAuth token flow fails silently, resulting in zero or partial email capture. Real-world scenarios often involve multi-tenant environments where consent must be granted per tenant.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A junior network technician can log in to a core router but cannot reach the enable prompt or configuration mode. The AAA server is authenticating the login — but the authorisation policy only grants privilege level 1, not 15. Authentication (who you are) is working; authorisation (what you can do) is not.
