# Gmail Sending

> Send quotes directly from your Gmail account

Send quotes and communications from your Gmail account to maintain your email history in one place.

## Why use Gmail for sending

Sending from your Gmail account:

* Maintains conversation history in Gmail
* Uses your existing email signature and branding
* Creates more personal connections with leads
* Supports multiple Gmail accounts per team

## Send quotes from Gmail

**From quote view:**

2. Click "Send Quote"
3. Select your Gmail account from the dropdown
4. Review and send

**Set default sender:**

* Go to Settings > General > Locations
* For each location, select default sending email
* New quotes will use this sender by default
