Send Through Gmail
Reps spend most of their time in Zoho but want to use a Gmail account to send emails. Emails are composed in Zoho but are sent through a connected Gmail account and appear in the Gmail Sent Folder. When Send through Gmail gets enabled, the Activity History on leads and contacts includes a Compose Gmail button. Emails are logged to the records from which the email was sent.
