AutomatedContactsSettings

Represents an org’s Einstein Automated Contacts settings. These settings let you find new contacts and opportunity contact roles.

In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See Settings for details.

This type extends Metadata and inherits its fields.

AutomatedContactsSettings values are stored in the AutomatedContacts.settings file in the settings folder. The .settings files are different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each settings component.

Introduced in API version 48.0.
