Gmail users amongst us have probably all been in the situation before. You\u2019re clicking on an email address with the attempt to either send an email or just to share web content, but your browser launches the wrong email client<\/b>. What a pain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"email<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To help you improve your sales process with the right tools, noCRM offers many integration possibilities, even with email providers. If you\u2019re using Gmail<\/b>, i<\/b>t is very important to set it as your default mail-to client <\/b>in your browser.  When you use You DontNeedaCRM our email Bcc System<\/b>, allows you to keep track of each e-mail you send to your prospects directly on the app (including the attached files). The only thing to do is to add the specific address we give to you in the bcc field whenever you send an email to your Lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simplest way to do that is to clic in the app on a lead\u2019s email, your browser will automatically launch Gmail with your email address already copied in the bcc field <\/b>and the email will automatically be attached to the Leads<\/b> so you have all the information saved in one
place<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for this to work you must first configure gmail as your browser\u2019s default email client<\/b>. In this step to step guide, we will show you how to do it for all major browser: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
