Log Autopilot emails in your CRM

Here's how to log emails sent from your Autopilot campaigns directly into your CRM*

Emails logged to your CRM using the BCC address will automatically be linked to the recipient's contact record and their associated company record. If these records don't exist, they will be created automatically.

* Please note:

  • Emails larger than 2MB will not be logged to most CRM systems.
  • This functionality may not be available if your CRM does not support BCC logging.

  • Scroll down to Add extra BCC recipients.
