Once you have connected GReminders to Salesforce, you will be presented with the following options:

Phone Number Matching Options

When you select “Pull Mobile Number from Leads…”, and/or  “Pull Mobile Number from Contacts…”, scheduling a meeting on your Google or Outlook calendar (with a lead/contact in Salesforce) will sync the individual’s information with GReminders (see below):

You are then able to send SMS Reminders, Email Reminders or Phone Call Reminders to your Salesforce Contacts.

Notification/Reminder Writeback

When you select “Log Activity against the matching Contact…” Your reminder messages will be logged in Salesforce (see below):

Lead Creation when using Automated Scheduling
