Email is where many customer conversations begin. But when a salesperson needs to check a CRM record, update a contact, create a task, add a note, or schedule an appointment, they often have to leave the inbox, open GoHighLevel, search for the contact, and then return to the email. That small interruption repeated throughout the day can make everyday follow-up feel unnecessarily complicated.
Open email → switch to GoHighLevel → search contact → update record → return to email.
The information your team needs is already in GoHighLevel, but accessing it while reading an email can interrupt the workflow.
Searching for contacts by name can become difficult when multiple contacts have similar names.
When several people appear in an email thread, selecting the correct CRM contact matters.
Some teams use Gmail while others use Outlook on the web. A separate workflow for each platform creates unnecessary complexity.
Eliminate context switching so your team can perform CRM actions right inside their web browser.
The extension is designed around one simple idea: When you are working on an email, the relevant CRM contact should be easy to access.
Use one Chrome extension to connect with both Gmail and Outlook on the web.
Important: This is for web-based Gmail and Outlook. It is not a desktop Outlook integration.
When you open a supported email conversation, simply click the blue G button to access the CRM workflow.
Microcopy: One click from email to CRM.
The extension uses the email address from the conversation to find the corresponding GoHighLevel contact. This helps avoid relying solely on names when identifying a CRM record.
When an email has multiple recipients, choose the person you want to look up before opening the CRM record.
Benefit: Fewer wrong-contact lookups on group conversations.
If a matching contact exists, open the existing GoHighLevel contact directly from the Chrome side panel.
Key Message: Work with the CRM record you already have.
If the email address does not match an existing contact, provide an option to create a new GoHighLevel contact.
Update available contact information directly from the side panel.
Support: Standard contact fields, Custom contact fields.
Add CRM notes while reading the email conversation. This means your team can capture important context without leaving the inbox.
Create follow-up tasks while the email conversation is fresh.
Example: Task: Follow up with John regarding proposal
Access available opportunity-related actions from the contact workflow. This helps sales teams connect email conversations with their CRM pipeline.
Create or manage supported appointment actions without repeatedly switching to GoHighLevel.
Access Do Not Disturb settings covering available communication channels: All Channels, Call, Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Google My Business, Facebook.
Team members can sign in using their GoHighLevel location user credentials/workflow. This allows users to work using their own CRM access rather than sharing one login.
Users can sign in and log out directly from the Chrome side panel.
The session remains active until the user logs out, reducing the need to repeatedly authenticate during normal use.
