After you enter your email and click "Log in" you will be taken over to your email provider to enter your password.

Note: If your provider is not visible, select "See All Providers" or connect your email using IMAP settings. If you need help with IMAP settings, reach out to us at [email protected].

Make sure all permissions requested are allowed when you connect your email. This will ensure the best experience when sending and tracking email activity.

Step 5: Throttle Your Email Sends

After connecting your email, you'll be rerouted back to Symbo and will see two new fields: "Max Email Sends Per Day" and "Max Email Sends Per Minute". We advise throttling new email accounts to about 75 per day to avoid triggering spam filters. Click on the field and adjust the value accordingly.

Best Practice: If you're hitting the threshold every day, you can slowly increase that value ever week or so.

Step 6: Sync Outside Emails to Symbo

Check the "Sync Outside Emails to Symbo" checkbox to track all communication with your prospects through your email provider and log it into Symbo.
