Integrating your Gmail with Coevera

Learn how to integrate Gmail with Coevera. All emails you send to and receive from Contacts who are in Coevera will appear in Feeds.

Overview

You can enable Gmail integration in Coevera ensuring that emails sent to, and received from, Contacts and Accounts in Coevera are captured in the records's Feeds tab.

PRE-REQUISITES: In order to use this integration, you will need to have a Coevera Cloud subscription and a G Suite account.

NOTE: Your Administrator will need to make sure that the integration is enabled for your Coevera space. Instructions for Admins are at the end of this article.

How to activate the Gmail integration

Click on the "Avatar (Photo)" icon on the upper right corner & then click “Settings” ⤵

Click “Activate” beside Gmail for Email Synchronization

Select your Gmail account from the list. If your Gmail account does not appear, you may have to login.

Once selected, depending on the security on your account, you may get the message below ⤵

Click “Advanced” and then click “Go to Coevera”. You will then need to allow permissions and click “Continue” to authorize Coevera permissions on your Gmail account ⤵

Folder Preferences

Review the folder names to make sure you integrate to the correct folders within your Gmail (Inbox is typically your incoming email folder unless you have multiple Inboxes within Gmail, you’ll usually need to select Sent as your outgoing email folder).

Email Linking

Click on "Next" to review E-mail Linking and Privacy Preferences.

E-mail linking for known e-mail addresses

Emails are usually sent to and from the email addresses saved against Contacts you have in Coevera but sometimes you might also send emails to the email addresses you have saved on Account records. Have at least one of these options checked, however we suggest that you check both “Link e-mails to Accounts” and “Link e-mails to Contacts”.

E-mail linking for unknown e-mail addresses

The option “Link e-mails to Accounts based on Domain” allows emails to be linked into Coevera even if the email address of the sender is not saved in Coevera -i.e. is "unknown". The linking is carried out based on the company’s domain (as long as the website - the default, system “Home Page” field - has been filled in for the Account).

For example, if a user receives an email from a new Contact (someone@pipelinersales.com), ordinarily that email would not be saved into Coevera as there is no matching email address. If a user has enabled the option, the integration would look for an Account with a domain/website such as coevera.com, pipelinersales.com (or pipelinersales.co.uk) and, if one is found, the email would be linked to that Account record in Coevera.

Privacy Preferences

If your Administrator has allowed it, you can decide about the default visibility of your emails to other users in the Email Default Sharing dropdown.

Public - all users who have rights to see the Account or Contact that the email is linked to, will also be able to open and read the linked email.

Private - all users who have rights to see the Account or Contact that the email is linked to, will be able to see that an email has been sent or received but will not be able to open and read the linked email.

Click on "Finish" to activate the integration with your selected options. Once Coevera is enabled, you should see your email address listed under Gmail Integrations › Gmail with a green check mark ⤵

NOTE: The email address must be exactly the same as on a Contact’s record in Coevera and must be saved in Coevera before the email is sent or received.

All emails are accessible in the "Feed" section of the account/contact in chronological order. This way you can track the email communication directly in Coevera.

Allow a few minutes for emails to appear in the Feed. Incoming copies of emails appear in Coevera after they have been transferred from your email client via the cloud server during synchronization of Coevera.

All users in Coevera who have the rights to view the Contact (or Account) will also have rights to view all the emails linked to that Contact.

If you quickly move emails out of the Inbox and Sent Items folders that you linked to while setting up the Office365 integration, emails will not be able to be copied into Coevera. You’re fine to move emails into custom folders but make sure that you can see them in Coevera first or leave it a couple of hours before doing so to be sure!

No historical emails will be copied into Coevera - only those you send and receive after the integration has been activated for your Office 365 account.

NOTE: Emails will be linked for all users who have activated the email integration. Emails between colleagues (Coevera users) will not be captured and Coevera Admins also have the ability to exclude all emails from specific domains in the Admin Module › Settings tab in the "Email Domain Blacklisting" section ⤵

Open a Contact Record and ensure an email address is listed.

NOTE: Email addresses must be listed on each contact record which you want to see your emails on ⤵

Send an email to the email address in your contact record from Gmail.

Email will appear in the feeds section in your contact record and also to any account they are related to. Emails you send to this contact will appear here as well ⤵

FOR ADMINS ONLY:
Enter the Admin Module — from the Coevera Application, click on the App Switcher in the top left corner ⤵

NOTE: Only Administrators will see the Administration menu.

Click on the Automation Hub tab and check that "Google Gmail" is running in the "My Apps" section. If not, find it in the "Most Popular" section and click on "Add for Free" to activate it.

Then go back to the App by clicking on the App Switcher in the top left corner again and selecting "CRM Application".
