# How to View Extracted LinkedIn Messages in the Salesforce Activity Timeline

By default, PipeLaunch is designed to follow the latest Salesforce best practices regarding data cleanliness. We understand that for many organizations, the Activity Timeline is a critical view, and some clients prefer not to have it "bloated" with every single LinkedIn interaction.

However, if your workflow requires these messages to be immediately visible in the Activity component, you can easily configure this by defining default values for the Task object.

|| **Note:** This guide only applies if your organization is configured to use the **Task** object to save extracted LinkedIn messages (default settings).

### Prerequisites
* You must have **System Administrator** permissions in Salesforce.
* You must be using the **Task** object for PipeLaunch message saving.

### Step 1: Expose the Task Subtype in Salesforce
First, you need to ensure the `Task Subtype` field is visible on your page layout. This field allows Salesforce to categorize the task correctly (e.g., as a Call, Email, or List).
1. Log in to Salesforce and click the **Gear Icon** ( Setup).
2. Click on the **Object Manager** tab.
3. Search for and select **Task**.
4. In the left sidebar, click **Page Layouts**.
5. Select the relevant Page Layout used by your team (e.g., *Task Layout*).
6. In the palette at the top, locate the **Task Subtype** field.
7. Drag and drop the **Task Subtype** field into the `Task Information` section of the layout.
8. Click **Save**.

### Step 2: Configure PipeLaunch Settings
Once the field is available, you need to tell PipeLaunch to categorize LinkedIn messages as "Call" activities. This ensures they appear prominently in the Activity Timeline, as Salesforce prioritizes standard subtypes like "Call" and "Email" in the feed.
1. Open the **PipeLaunch Extension**.
2. Navigate to **Org Settings** > **Field mapping**.
3. Locate the settings for Task creation/mapping.
4. Add the **Task Subtype** field configuration.
5. Set the value to **Task or** **Call**.
6. **Save** your settings.

### The Result
Going forward, any new LinkedIn message extracted by PipeLaunch will be saved with the `Call` subtype. These will now appear clearly in the **Activity Timeline** on your Lead or Contact records, allowing you to view the full message history without digging into related lists.
