How Odoo Gmail Integration Works with the Odoo Database
Odoo Gmail Integration and the Odoo Database
With odoo gmail integration, every email you send or receive can be logged directly into the odoo database. Emails are linked to leads, opportunities, or contacts in Odoo CRM, creating a single source of truth.
Instead of copying subject line details manually, users simply access the odoo inbox addin from the Gmail right sidebar. One click connects the conversation to Odoo, enabling full traceability across teams.
This tight database connection is what allows the Doodex Growth Suite to power analytics, reminders, and automated workflows.
