Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To centralize your communications, you can synchronize your mailbox with your CRM. This feature gives you access, via a contact’s CentrixOne card, to an overview of all the exchanges you’ve sent them via your mailbox.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    How does email synchronization work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you synchronize your mailbox with CentrixOne, as soon as an external email is sent to a contact, it becomes visible in that contact’s CRM card. However, an email sent via the CRM will not be visible in your external mailbox. To reply to an email, you’ll have to go through your external email system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since this type of synchronization is really just a mirror of your mailbox, all content is synchronized in plain text (without images or attachments). Being a mirror, this also means that an email deleted from your inbox will also disappear in the CRM. In fact, to delete an email, you’ll have to go through your external mailbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also synchronize your calendar. For example, you could decide to display specific meetings or tasks created in the CRM in your external calendar. However, an appointment created in your external calendar will not be visible in the CRM.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Is your email system compatible?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To synchronize your mailbox, you need a personalized domain name (e.g. @centrix.one). In addition, your email system must be configured in Exchange or IMAP mode. Please note that you cannot synchronize an alias (an email address that redirects to another email address).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Calendar synchronization is compatible with Exchange mail systems only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have activated two-step verification in your mailbox (e.g. by sending a code to your cell phone to authorize the connection), the easiest thing to do is to deactivate it so that you can synchronize your mailbox with CentrixOne. You can also get around the incompatibility by creating a unique password for the CRM (here’s how<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n

          Can i synchronize a 2nd mailbox?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          By default, you can synchronize only one mailbox per user. However, there is a special plan available (at a lower cost) to enable you to activate a 2nd user who will be used solely to synchronize the 2nd mailbox. If this suits your needs, please contact us (success@centrix.one<\/a>) to further discuss.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n

          Where can I see synchronized emails?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          When the system detects that the contact’s email address is the recipient or is in CC or CCI of an email in your synchronized mailbox, it will display this message in the contact’s CRM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How to access:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Click on the Contacts<\/strong> module<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Search for the appropriate contact, then click on its name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. In the Activity<\/strong> section, click on Synchronized emails<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            You can also get an overview of the email exchanges sent to all the contacts in a company (account) via the Synchronized emails<\/strong> tab in the account card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n

            How can I view messages from another user’s mailbox?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            To improve communication between departments, it may be helpful to allow your users to view their colleagues’ email exchanges. This way, everyone can check with whom the contact has recently communicated and the subject of their exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Bear in mind, however, that a single user can view the contents of up to 25 mailboxes. Also, if you have many messages to display in the Synchronized Emails<\/strong> tab, its loading time will be longer than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            To activate special permission:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Ensure that all relevant users have synchronized their mailboxes with CentrixOne<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Configure your hierarchy (if necessary, refer to this guide<\/span><\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Determine the desired level of visibility for each user (see below)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Write to us at support@centrix.one<\/a> specifying the level of visibility for each user so that we can complete the configuration<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
