The two-way email sync feature allows you to fully integrate your Gmail with the CRM, making it possible for emails to automatically sync between the two platforms. Once the initial email is sent from the CRM, all emails in the same conversation will be synced across both Gmail and the CRM.
Core Benefits of Gmail Two-Way Sync
Effortless Connection: Easily connect your personal Gmail with the CRM, ensuring smooth synchronization of all incoming and outgoing emails.
Advanced Tracking: Send, receive, and track your emails using your Gmail account, all from within the CRM platform.
User-Level Control: The sync feature is set up per user, meaning it only applies to your account and does not affect other users.
Steps for Connecting Your Gmail
Access Account Settings: In your account settings, go to the My Profile tab. Under the General section, scroll down to Email (2-way sync) and select Gmail Two-Way Sync, then click Connect.
