Sales CRM in Gmail and Google Workspace

Turn Google Contacts into a simple sales CRM inside Gmail. Kanban pipelines, notes, tags & shared boards for individuals and teams.

🔎 Overview Sales teams waste hours every week bouncing between their inbox, a spreadsheet, and a bloated CRM platform that nobody keeps current. Sales CRM by Tooling Studio solves this by building your entire pipeline directly inside Gmail, where your conversations already live. This Gmail CRM pulls your existing Google Contacts into a visual Kanban pipeline so you can see exactly where every lead, deal, and relationship stands at a glance. Setup takes minutes because your data is already there. A clean, intuitive CRM integration with Gmail means your pipeline stays accurate because updating it costs almost no effort. Solo founders managing outreach and sales teams tracking dozens of active deals both get the structure they need without the overhead of enterprise software. 📈 Enhance Your Sales Workflow Stop losing deals in your inbox: Emails that need action stop disappearing into the scroll. Turn any Gmail message into a CRM contact or note in one click, with a direct link back to the original conversation so nothing loses context. Cut the tab count and keep the context: Your pipeline lives in the Gmail sidebar, so you stay in one place instead of managing your inbox in one window and your CRM in another. Get your team aligned in minutes: Share a board, invite a teammate, and your team is collaborating on the same pipeline immediately, all inside the Google accounts they already use. Always know which deals need attention today: Smart filters and pipeline views surface the contacts and opportunities that need action now, across every stage of your funnel. Replace a $49 per month platform with a $5 one: Sales CRM covers the core functionality that most teams actually use, at a fraction of the cost and without the setup overhead or the learning curve. 🧩 The Best CRM for Google Workspace Users Your CRM lives where your deals happen: Sales CRM opens as a sidebar directly inside Gmail, giving you instant access to pipeline stages, contact notes, and deal history right alongside your inbox. Your CRM integration with Gmail is seamless and immediate, so context is always one glance away. Start with what you already have: Your Google Contacts become the foundation of your CRM the moment you install. Sales CRM syncs your contacts into a fully organized pipeline so you're never starting from scratch. This is the CRM for Google Workspace that respects your existing workflow instead of disrupting it. A clear visual pipeline built for how salespeople think: Drag and drop contacts through customizable stages (Lead, Qualified, Proposal, Negotiation, Won) and always know where every relationship stands. A smart CRM strategy starts with visibility, and this pipeline gives you exactly that. Rich records that capture every detail: Every contact and company gets a dedicated record with notes, comments, file attachments, custom fields, and tags. Track deal size, industry, region, or any field that matters to your workflow. This cloud-based CRM software scales with your process as your team and pipeline grow. Reminders and follow-ups that keep deals moving: Set next steps, schedule follow-ups, and use smart filters to surface your hottest leads at the right moment. Warm opportunities stay visible, and nothing falls through the cracks. 🤖 A New Way to Manage Your Pipeline with AI Sales CRM is evolving beyond a static contact list into an actionable system you can operate through AI. With MCP integration, you can connect large language models directly to your CRM and instruct them to take real actions on your pipeline. This changes how relationship management works. Instead of manually logging calls, updating contact stages, and chasing follow-ups, you can delegate those actions to AI and focus on selling. Use natural language to operate your CRM: • Ask an AI to read a call transcript and automatically create or update contact records, assign ownership, and move deals to the right pipeline stage based on what was discussed. • Have the AI scan email threads in Gmail and extract commitments, next steps, and new contacts, turning them into structured CRM records linked to the original conversation. • Update your pipeline in bulk by intent. Mark all contacts from a specific campaign as qualified, reassign ownership across a territory, or move groups of deals through stages in seconds. • Generate a prioritized outreach list based on deal stage, last contact date, and tags, so you always know who deserves attention today. Key advantages of AI and MCP for your CRM: • Reduce the manual logging and admin work that causes CRM adoption to break down. When updating records takes effort, people stop doing it. AI removes that friction entirely. • Keep context tied to every contact. Records generated from emails or call transcripts stay linked to their source, so your team always understands the full history behind a relationship. • Operate your pipeline at scale. Actions that would take an hour of manual data entry can be completed in seconds across your entire contact base. • Apply consistent logic to how contacts are created, tagged, and advanced through stages, reducing the inconsistency that makes CRM data unreliable over time. For sales teams looking for AI-powered CRM tools, this is a shift from passive record-keeping to an active system that works alongside you. 👥 Built for Teams, Accessible to Everyone Sales CRM is permanently free for individuals.

A: Google Contacts stores names and numbers. Sales CRM turns that list into a working sales pipeline with stages, notes, tags, attachments, reminders, and ownership. It is the CRM for Google Contacts that adds everything Contacts was never designed to do. Q: Is the Gmail CRM integration two-way? A: Sales CRM syncs your existing Google Contacts into your pipeline to get you started immediately. Any CRM-specific data you add, including notes, tags, pipeline stages, and custom fields, stays inside Sales CRM and never overwrites your address book. Two-way sync is on the roadmap. Q: Can my whole team use the same pipeline? A: On the Teams plan, shared CRM boards let your entire sales team collaborate on the same contact and company records in real time. It is the CRM that integrates with Gmail and keeps your team working from a single source of truth. Q: What does it cost? A: Personal use is completely free. Team collaboration features are $5/user/month, the same pricing as our Kanban Tasks plugin, so you can run your full workflow in Google Workspace without adding another expensive platform. Q: How does this work alongside Kanban Tasks? A: Sales CRM and Kanban Tasks are separate plugins that complement each other inside your Gmail sidebar. Use Sales CRM for relationships, leads, and deals, and Kanban Tasks for projects and execution. Together they give you a complete business process automation workflow inside Google Workspace without leaving your inbox. Q: Do I need technical skills to get started? A: None at all. This Chrome CRM extension is designed for salespeople and small business owners. If you are comfortable using Gmail, you will feel right at home.
