For each record you can track various Activities, including sending emails, logging meetings and calls, and creating new tasks. Depending on the object record you are on, you can do all or some of the below "Activities."
On the Contact record, you can send an email, log a call, or create a new task. The Knowledgebase articles for setting up your email, sending an email from Salesforce, sending an email to Salesforce, and creating Tasks can be found at the links here.
Logging Activities
Logging a Call is a bit of a misnomer - when you select "Log a Call" you can change the subject so that it is something beyond just a call. Below is a sample of the "Subjects" available as of December 2019 - we can add additional ones if needed, or you can type in your own! It's not a restrictive picklist.
Add any details you need in the Comments section, and confirm that the Contact record you want the "call" to be associated with is correct. You can add multiple Contacts to the Name field and multiple Accounts to the Related To field, so if you have meetings with multiple people at once or in reference to something, you can track it on each of their records at the same time.
