Connect Gmail

Link a Gmail mailbox so the CRM can send from it and log its conversations against your accounts, and control what gets synced.

Connecting Gmail lets the CRM send email from your own mailbox and log the conversations you have with contacts against their accounts. It is per person: each user connects their own mailbox. It is separate from the workspace's sending domain, which broadcasts and transactional email use.

Before you start: an admin must have set up the Google integration for the workspace. If Settings → Email says "Gmail integration is not configured", that is the missing piece, and only an administrator can add it.

Connect

Settings → Email → Connect Gmail opens Google's sign-in and asks for permission to read and send mail. On return, the mailbox is listed with a Connected badge. Connect Another Gmail Account adds a second. Disconnect removes one; nothing already logged is deleted.

Once connected, conversations with known contacts appear on their accounts' Emails tab and in the dashboard's Recent Email Activity.

Control what is synced

Settings → Company → Email Sync has two workspace-wide rules:

  • Organization Domain: emails where every participant shares this domain are treated as internal and not synced. It is detected from the connected mailbox if left blank.
  • Never Log List: addresses or domains that are never synced, even when they belong to a known contact. Add an address such as news@acme.com or a domain prefix such as @newsletter.com.

When it goes wrong

  • "Gmail integration is not configured." The workspace has no Google credentials. An administrator sets them up outside these settings.
  • The mailbox shows Inactive. Google revoked the connection, usually after a password change. Disconnect and connect again.
  • A conversation is not on the account. The other party is not a contact on that account, or the address is on the never-log list, or everyone on the thread is on your own domain.
  • Recent Email Activity is empty. Sync only covers mail with known contacts, and only from the time of connection onward.
