Basil: Email Integration
This feature allows you to connect your Google Gmail or Workspace account to the Basil platform, enabling you to manage your emails directly within Basil. This eliminates the need to switch between applications to check your mail, helping you stay focused on your work. You can also utilize Email Templates to have emails sent to contacts from your Basil CRM. We plan to have integration with other email platforms available in a future release.
To enable the feature in Basil:
Log into your Basil Platform at https://basil.coraltreetech.com/ and click on the 'Email' tab.
Click on the 'Sign in with Gmail' option
Log in to your Google account and grant permission for coraltreetech.com to connect your email to Basil.
Once the connection is established, the page will refresh and display your Gmail inbox.
You can now read, compose, reply, and manage your emails within Basil.
Email Templates:
You can create templates to send one at a time or in bulk to your clients and contacts in the CRM. Go to the ‘Template’ button on the left panel and click ‘+Template’ at the top-right.
Add a Template Name and you can begin typing your template body. The template name will default to being the subject line of your email when you send the template to clients
You can add wildcard fields like First Name and Last Name by clicking the icon on the far right. The data will be pulled from the values stored in the CRM for each contact upon being sent.
Once the template is created, you can click ‘Bulk Email Send’ under the Actions column.
On the next screen, you can make further edits if needed and click ‘Add Recipients’ to select contacts.
Use the next screen to search and select any number of contacts and click ‘Done’.
You can then send the template to the selected contacts and it will be queued to be delivered shortly after.
Please Note: The templates you create in Basil will exist only in your Basil platform and will not be available in your email service such as Gmail or Outlook.
