Emails form the backbone of communication in today’s world. Most companies struggle to stay on top of their emails. Most have accounts on multiple platforms and moving between different platforms is a painful task. Managing contacts, responding to clients, and organizing email campaigns becomes an exceptionally tedious and cumbersome process with a high margin of error.
What if we told you that you no longer have to worry about your emails? You are probably curious about what we mean by it. Well, you can solve all your emailing woes by synchronizing your email platform with the CRM of your choice. In this blog, we will discuss what this means in the context of Salesforce.
Email platform synchronization with SalesforceCRM can happen through three main ways. Let’s look at each of these ways in detail. You can then choose the method that suits your needs best.
Salesforce Inbox: Unified Platform for All Email Interactions
Salesforce Inbox is an excellent way to manage your emails. You can sync the popular emailing platforms with your Salesforce Inbox. This way you do not have to constantly move between different channels and platforms. Salesforce Inbox can be integrated into Salesforce CRM or any other CRM of your choice.
Here is how you will benefit from Salesforce Inbox:
- Increased email efficiency with Salesforce Inbox is a major benefit. You will not only be able to track emails but also take other crucial steps. For example, you can add shortcuts and insert availability. This eliminates time delays due to the cross-departmental coordination that was previously required.
- You can sync your email activity right into your email. In addition to synchronizing data, Salesforce Inbox is a useful tool to manage shared calendars and meetings.
- Since Salesforce Inbox is linked to other modules in your CRM, you can use it to close deals right from your email inbox!

If you do not want to get Salesforce Inbox then you can integrate your Salesforce with different emailing platforms. Let’s discuss what you can gain from it.
