Connect Gmail

The Gmail integration links your Gmail or Google Workspace mailbox to Salesfresh. Your emails come into the CRM and link to the right leads and contacts, and you can send email from the CRM through your own mailbox.

For example, a recruiter emails candidates from Gmail every day, then copies each one into the CRM by hand. They connect Gmail once. From then on, every email to and from a candidate shows on the candidate's record, and the copying stops.

Before you start

• Gmail and Outlook are on the Starter plan and above. Your plan also sets how many mailboxes your company can connect. See Integrations overview.
• You need to be on Gmail's Allowed Users list, or have the Manage Integration permission. If you can't see Gmail, ask your admin to add you.
• Each person connects their own mailbox. You can connect Gmail or Outlook, not both.
• Connect the mailbox you sign in to Salesfresh with. A different address is refused.

Connect your mailbox

1. Go to Settings > Integrations and click Gmail.
2. Click Connect to Gmail. Google opens.
3. Sign in, and allow Salesfresh to read, send and organise your email.
4. You come back to Salesfresh, and Gmail says Connected.

Connecting also adds you to Gmail's Allowed Users list.

What's synced

• Folders: Inbox and Sent. Emails in the Social, Promotions and Forums tabs are left out.
• How far back: the first sync starts from the start of the current month.
• How often: every 5 minutes, between 8 am and 6 pm in your company's timezone.
• What's left out: no-reply addresses, newsletters and bulk senders.

Emails link to leads and contacts by email address. To read and send them, see Email client.

The Dashboard tab

Once you're connected, Dashboard shows figures for your own emails, such as total emails, sent, received, unique threads, and emails not linked to any record. Charts show email volume, response time, sentiment and more. Pick a date range at the top, such as This Month, and Day, Week or Month. Click Sync to sync now.

Choose who can connect it

For people with Manage Integration:

1. Click Allowed Users. The list shows each person, when they were added, and who added them.
2. Click Add User. The Add Allowed User window opens.
3. In Search User *, type at least 2 letters of a name, and click the people to add.
4. Click Save.

To take someone off the list, click the bin icon on their row and confirm. Each person on the list counts toward your plan's mailbox limit.

To set up your sending domain, see Domain authentication.

Disconnect

1. Click Disconnect from Gmail.
2. A window asks whether to disconnect your Gmail account. Click Yes.

Syncing stops. Emails already synced stay in Salesfresh. You stay on Allowed Users, and still count toward the mailbox limit until someone removes you. Only you can disconnect your own mailbox.
