Email sync begins automatically
Flashquotes will begin syncing recent email conversations with your leads and customers
How email syncing works
Automatic monitoring:- Flashquotes monitors for new emails from customers
- Checks for new messages every few minutes
- Emails are automatically linked to the correct lead
- Matching uses customer email addresses
- New email activity appears in activity feeds within minutes
- No manual action required
- Only emails related to your Flashquotes leads are synced
- Other Gmail conversations remain private
If you disconnect your Google account, email syncing stops. Existing synced emails remain in activity feeds but no new emails are captured.
Best practices
- Monitor activity feeds - Check lead activity feeds regularly for new correspondence
- Keep account connected - Don’t disconnect unless necessary
- Use one primary account - Connect the email account you use most for customer communication
Troubleshooting
Emails not appearing in activity feeds
- Confirm you have an active Plus or Pro subscription
- Verify “Read Email” permission is granted
- Check that the email address matches the lead email exactly
- Allow up to 15 minutes for new emails to sync
- Try reconnecting your Google account
Old emails not syncing
- Email sync only captures recent conversations automatically
- When viewing the lead details a full email sync will trigger
Some emails missing
- Verify the email address on the lead matches exactly
- Check that emails aren’t in spam or trash
- Ensure the email is from/to a lead email address in Flashquotes
Sync stopped working
- Check if your Google account is still connected
- Look for disconnection warnings in Settings > Integrations
- Reconnect your account if needed
