Additional Setup Needed for Gmail

If you want your default email to be Gmail, here is what you need to do:

  1. In the Default Apps menu, select Chrome.

  2. Open Chrome and navigate to the Gmail website. Make sure you log in if it doesn't automatically do so.

  3. Click on the double diamond in the web address bar.

4. It will prompt you if you want Gmail to be the default for all email links. Select

Allow and click Done. You're all set to be able to email out of ShareBuilder CRM and into

Gmail!

Edge uses your Windows default application to open mail to links. That means if you configure Windows to open Gmail in another browser, Edge will open that browser when you click the links. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a way to open Gmail automatically in Edge itself.

Remember, if you change or update your computer you may have to complete this process again.
