Do you use Gmail for work? Good. You’re going to love this.

We’re thrilled to announce the release of our new Nutshell for Gmail Chrome extension, which lets you manage your Nutshell contacts and leads directly from your Gmail inbox.

A CRM has to sync with your email in order to be effective, which is why Nutshell has made Gmail integration a top priority since day one.

Nutshell was the first CRM to enter the G Suite Marketplace when we released our popular Google gadget, allowing users to view their contacts in Gmail, create new contacts, save emails to Nutshell, sync their calendar activities, and more.

The Nutshell for Gmail Chrome extension includes all the necessary email and calendar sync features, and adds the following capabilities…

  • Create tasks
  • Track communication timelines
  • Write notes
  • See which emails have been shared with your teammates in Nutshell
  • Share email threads and messages directly from Gmail, without having to forward or BCC them to Nutshell

No more wasting time switching between applications—the Nutshell for Gmail extension puts everything in one place, helping you save time and stay productive.

Work where you work with Nutshell + Gmail.
