Overview

With Two-Way Email Sync, sales people can send emails to Prospects from within Lead Liaison from their own email inbox. Because we connect directly to their inbox, sales people can also see their historical messages to the Prospect, when the Prospect has read the message, and the Prospect's replies. Lead Liaison can sync emails from almost any service, including Google, Yahoo, Outlook, and Apple Mail. This article details setting up users, creating email Templates and Snippets, and sending and scheduling emails. 

Info

Sales Enablement's Two-Way Email Sync is different from Lead Liaison's Send and Track plugin for Outlook and Google Chrome. While that service will let you track opens and email clicks, Two-Way Email Sync lets users compose messages from within Lead Liaison, and saves the message plus its replies to the Prospect's Timeline.

Getting Started

Before you set up your user accounts, make sure that you have Lead Liaison configured for your organization. To find your email sync settings, navigate to Settings > App Setup > Email > Sales Enablement.
