If you use the Gmail Sync Chrome Extension, you can create an email in Gmail and sync the information to Upsales.

This article explains the process for connecting your Gmail and Upsales accounts, which includes steps by the Administrator and steps by each user.

• The Administrator must activate the app for your company's Upsales account and choose the default settings. These default settings apply to all users.
• The Users must each:
  • Install the Upsales Gmail Chrome extension
  • Activate the app on their own Upsales profiles
  • Connect their own Gmail accounts to Upsales.

Activating the Gmail Sync app for All Users (Administrator)
