My favorite ways to connect Gmail with LACRM (through Zapier!)

Send contacts & tasks to LACRM straight from your Gmail inbox (and include emails too!)
Updated on:

If you're anything like me, you probably spend a ton of time in your Gmail inbox. That's how you reach out to your clients, make introductions to new leads, and communicate with your internal team.

Less Annoying CRM's BCC tool is fantastic for sending emails into your CRM account so that email communication doesn't get lost in the weeds, but what if you want to send contacts from Gmail to your CRM? Maybe you'd like to set tasks in LACRM directly from Gmail?

🌟 Introducing our magic wand: Zapier!

👤 Add contacts to LACRM by tagging an email with a label

What I want:

  1. When I get an email from a new prospect,
  2. I'll label them in Gmail as "New Prospect"
  3. And Zapier will add their name and email automatically to my LACRM account.

What I'll set up in Zapier:

  1. Trigger: New Labeled Email in Gmail
  2. Action: New Contact in Less Annoying CRM

Or click here to connect Gmail with LACRM via Zapier!

Once I set this up, every time I receive an email from anyone, I can create a contact in LACRM with their name and email address just by adding a Gmail label to that email!

Adding another Action step to this workflow to create a note on the contact that includes the email content:


☑️ Add tasks to LACRM by starring an email in Gmail

What I want:

  1. When I get an email from a new prospect,
  2. I'll star that email in Gmail
  3. And Zapier will set a task assigned to my teammate to let them know that I'd like them to follow up with this new prospect.

What I'll set up in Zapier:

  1. Trigger: New Starred Email in Gmail (this only applies to emails starred within 2 days of receipt!)
  2. Action: Create Task in Less Annoying CRM

Or click here to connect Gmail with LACRM via Zapier!

Once I set this up, every time I star an email from anyone within 2 days of receiving it, I can set a task assigned to me or a teammate in LACRM to remind them to follow up.

While these are my two favorite ways of connecting my Gmail account with LACRM, because Zapier connects with over 5,000 other apps, there are so many other ways to connect other tools with your LACRM account.

Use Zapier to connect LACRM with Quickbooks, Constant Contact, Facebook, and more!
