  5. Sign In and Grant Permissions:

    • When prompted, click Accept to authorize ShareBuilder CRM to access your emails and calendars.
  6. Configure Folder Synchronization:

    • After granting access, you'll be redirected back to your CRM profile page.
    • A popup will appear, allowing you to select which email folders you want to sync with the CRM.
    • Choose the folders that contain communications relevant to your sales activities.

It is highly recommended that you connect your "Inbox" and "Sent" folders. By doing so, you establish a foundational setup that guarantees all relevant emails are effectively managed through the Connected Mailbox feature.

Initial Synchronization:

  • The first synchronization will import and link the last 90 days' worth of emails and calendar invites into ShareBuilder CRM.
  • This initial sync may take up to 5 minutes to complete, depending on the volume of data.
