But all his email communications with clients take place in Gmail. Samson finds it frustrating to toggle between two disparate platforms to get a holistic picture of a client relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does any of this sound familiar? You see, in an ideal world, bloggers would spend most of their time blogging, and sales reps like Samson most of their time selling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in truth, salespeople spend only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/15-sales-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">28 percent<\/a> of their week selling. The rest of the time, they\u2019re busy keeping records, juggling between tools, and doing manual tasks like lead management and data entry. Samson, for one, spends so much time simply connecting dots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution? Integrating Gmail with Salesforce! Once Samson integrates their Gmail account with Salesforce, they can, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>View relevant client data within Gmail while composing an email<br \/><\/li><li>Log all email communications with clients into their respective Salesforce accounts<br \/><\/li><li>Access a complete communication history within Salesforce<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious how to integrate the two platforms?

So Samson wants to follow up with her. However, while composing an email, he needs details of previous interactions with Julia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data is available within Salesforce. Instead of wasting time switching between tabs, Samson decides to integrate Salesforce into Gmail by adding a <a href=\"https:\/\/help.salesforce.com\/s\/articleView?id=sf.app_for_gmail_user_install.htm&amp;type=5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Salesforce Chrome extension<\/a>.

As we saw, it\u2019s very easy to set up; in fact, the easiest of the three. But the integration hogs a lot of screen space, which some may find annoying. You might need to log in again and again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need additional features like scheduling emails, automatic follow-ups, and advanced email tracking, Salesforce Inbox might be your best choice. But remember that Salesforce Inbox is only compatible with Google Chrome.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose Einstein Activity Capture for automatic data capture and synchronization between Gmail\/calendar and Salesforce. Keep in mind that you have no access to the Sales Activity Data by default. You can view EAC analytics in the paid version only. In addition, you don\u2019t own EAC data because it\u2019s stored externally, and it\u2019s available for two years only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"banner_wrapper\" style=\"\"><div class=\"banner  banner-20441 bottom vert custom-banners-theme-default_style\" style=\"\"><a class=\"custom_banners_big_link\"  target=\"_blank\"  href=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/salesforce-marketing-cloud-email-specialist\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/picturemessage_bqjkyvhv.52l.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Our SFMC developers can design flawless email templates\" srcset=\"https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/picturemessage_bqjkyvhv.52l.png 800w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/picturemessage_bqjkyvhv.52l-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/picturemessage_bqjkyvhv.52l-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/email.uplers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/picturemessage_bqjkyvhv.52l-624x156.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hire Certified Salesforce Marketing Cloud Experts!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce is huge and complex.
