Efficient email communication is essential for managing your leads and opportunities effectively. With CRM As A Service integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, you can seamlessly synchronize your emails between CRM and Outlook, providing a 360-degree view of your customer interactions.


Enabling email synchronization offers several advantages:

  1. Unified Mail Management: View and manage your Outlook mailbox directly within the CRM app, allowing you to handle all your emails from a single platform without switching between applications.

  2. Contextual Email Visibility: Effortlessly access and visualize emails related to specific Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, and Cases, ensuring you have all relevant information at your fingertips and can follow up efficiently.

  3. Sending Email: You can send emails directly to any of your contacts without leaving CRM As A Service.
