What is the Email Integration Function?

Real Geeks’ email integration allows you to track both sent and received emails from your business email directly within the Lead Manager.

For privacy, emails are only recorded if the lead’s email address is stored in your CRM.

Email Integration Options

Real Geeks offers two ways to connect your email:

  • Sending Email from CRM (Outgoing) – Logs all emails you send to leads.
  • Email Sync (Incoming) – Syncs emails leads send to you.

This ensures that all email conversations with leads are organized and easily accessible in one place.

Supported Email Providers

Gmail Microsoft
Yahoo AOL
iCloud att.net
Network Solutions Other SMTP
