Copper CRM is a great tool to handle customer relationships. However, if you want every employee in your organization to access your customers’ information, the price of $100 per user every month could come very expensive in the end.

Thanks to Shared Contacts for Gmail® and Google Contacts, all your organization can access your CRM contacts, in real-time and from everywhere, for a nearly nonexistent cost!

Step-by-Step Guide to Access Your Copper Contacts from Google Contacts

Time needed: 3 minutes

  1. First, you must ensure you enable the ‘Google Contact 1-way Sync’. Go to Settings > Google Sync Settings > ‘Google Contact 1-way Sync’.

    By enabling this 1-way sync, your Copper CRM contacts will get pulled into your Google Contacts under the label ‘Copper’ from which you can share this label with your team members.

  2. As you can see, the Copper contacts have been pulled into a label called “Copper”. To share this label, click on the contact list (label) you want to share. Then, click on the ‘share’ icon to choose the collaborators.

    To set permission access, click the downwards arrow by “View only” to pull all permission options available.

Troubleshooting

It’s possible that you still can’t access the shared contact labels from Coper. In this case, make sure you enabled the “Mobile & Outlook” toggle.

We highly recommend making sure the Mobile and Outlook toggle is always selected. Activating the toggle ensures your shared contacts are synced to your general Google Contacts and not only visible in your shared labels, making integrations with Copper and other various apps hassle free.
