Nexudus for Gmail is a G-Suite add-on which lets you route messages from Gmail straight into Nexudus in just one click. This add-on is only available to Nexudus admin users.
When you select an email in your Gmail inbox, the add-on will let you convert that email into a full new opportunity in any of your CRM pipelines or attach the messages as a note or a message for an existing customer in your Nexudus account.

Selecting an email message
When selecting an email, if the sender exists in Nexudus as a member (based on the email address), then some details about the member will be shown:
If the sender does not exist in Nexudus, then just the Operations section is shown.

Nexudus for Gmail will then create a new opportunity based on the email and details of the sender of the selected message.
- The full name and salutation of the contact associated with the new opportunity will be set to the name of the sender of the email.

Creating a new Message for an existing customer or opportunity
