What is Gmail Integration in Salesforce?

Gmail Integration in Salesforce enables you to send, receive, and track Gmail emails directly from inside Salesforce, using your existing Gmail address. That means composing, sending, and even attaching files— all without leaving the Salesforce interface.

Just a click on the email icon in any Lead, Contact, or Opportunity record opens your Gmail compose pane, fully embedded right where you need it. Even better, every conversation you send is automatically tracked and logged in the Salesforce activity timeline for that record—so your communication history is always up-to-date.

Key Capabilities & Benefits

Here’s why this integration can be a game-changer for your team:

• No More Lost Productivity:
Eliminate time wasted toggling between Gmail and Salesforce, letting you focus on what truly matters—your client relationships.

• Seamless Email Experience:
Write, send, and attach files directly through Salesforce, using your familiar Gmail address—no need for duplicate logins.

• Automatic Email Logging:
Every email is instantly recorded in the activity timeline, providing your team with a real-time, shared communication history.

• Boost Team Collaboration:
Anyone on your team can view the full communication trail, preventing missed updates or duplicate follow-ups.

• Enhanced Visibility:
Know exactly what’s been communicated, when, and to whom, across all your sales, service, and marketing records.
