Elements allows you to setup integrations with your Microsoft Outlook or GMail and email your clients directly through your CRM. This allows you to stay within the CRM when communicating with your clients, creating business efficiencies around email and activity tracking.

  When you email your clients through Elements, you will do so through Contacts. The email you send to a Contact will create an Activity for the Contact, and update the Compliance and Service section on the Contact, which includes the Last Contacted On, Last Contacted By, and the Last Contact Activity.

To send an email to a Contact, go to Menu > Contacts > choose a Contact > Activity > Email. This will bring up a new Email that you can compose and send to your Contact.

Fun Facts about an Email Activity
