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.
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.
Whitelisting (for Accounts using G-Suite)
If you're using Google Services for email (Gmail / G-Suite) then you must whitelist Lead Liaison as an app within your G-Suite account. Follow the video and/or written instructions below to whitelist Lead Liaison's app:
Instructions:
Click Step 2 of Google's whitelist instructions.
Go to G-Suite Admin Console.
Go to Security > API Permissions.
At the bottom of the list of apps, click the Trusted Apps link.
Click the Whitelist an App plus symbol.
Select Web applications.
Enter the OAuth2 Client ID: 745383167844-2n34daua2cggaa5d0mjfdk2drloh936u.apps.googleusercontent.com
Failure to whitelist Lead Liaison will result in a warning prompt as shown below when users try to connect their email account.
If users continue to see this message after you have followed the Whitelisting guide, please contact support@leadliaison.com.
Microsoft Office 365 Admin Approval
While authenticating, your account may return the following response from Microsoft:
This prompt occurs because of the account's security settings from the mail administrator. To resolve this, an Administrator needs to configure user consent settings in Outlook.

Excluded Domains
You can exclude domains from Two-Way Email Sync, keeping emails to or from those domains from being shown in the Prospect Profile. By default, Lead Liaison will exclude your organization's domain.
Use the box to enter domains you would like to exclude. Enter each domain on a new line. Use any of the following formats to exclude a domain:
domain.com
@domain.com
name@domain.com
Once you have entered your excluded domains, click the orange Save button.
Excluded domains appear beneath the box. Edit a domain by clicking on its text, or use the trash can icon to the right to delete the domain. Once you delete a domain, the system will sync emails from prospects with that domain.
Email Accounts
Use the Email Accounts box to view synced email accounts. The box will show the synced user, their email address, and the date they were added.
Disconnecting
If you need to disconnect an email account, please contact support@leadliaison.com.
Security Profiles
You can control the user's level of access through their Security Profile. To make changes to Security Profiles
Navigate to Settings > Users > Security Profiles
Click the Edit button to the right of the appropriate profile.
Scroll down to Sales Enablement
Check the boxes to grant permissions
ORUncheck the boxes to remove permissions
After changing visibility permissions (such as viewing private two-way sync emails), you may need to log out and back in for the changes to take affect.
Managing Email Accounts
Email accounts are managed at the individual-user level. This is to protect the user's personal email password. Users can add their account and manage their account's settings in the 3rd Party tab of the Personal Settings menu.
Account Activation
To activate a Two-Way Sync Email account, you will need the user to log in to Lead Liaison. They will need their email client's username and password. You will also need to make sure your Lead Liaison account has a Sales Enablement license for each user you would like to sync. To add more licenses, contact your Lead Liaison representative.
To activate an email account
Navigate to Personal Settings
Click the 3rd Party tab
Enter your email address in the Email Account box
Click Connect
Follow your email provider's instructions to grant Lead Liaison access to your account
Use the Connect button as your default. Use the Connect (Advanced) option only if you do not see the right email provider to authenticate with for some reason.
Similarly, if you're already connected and need to reauthenticate, use the Re-Authenticate (Advanced) option only if the standard Authenticate option doesn't show you the correct email provider.
Use the “Resync” button to re-initiate the email sync based on your original settings when you initially connected your email account. The Resync option is useful if you notice any missing data after reauthenticating your email.
Some Exchange users may have to enter their server information manually depending on their security settings.
