The Google Workspace Gap
Copper CRM is built for Google Workspace—it automatically captures relationships from Gmail and lives inside Google. But at events, you're not emailing. You need a way to capture contacts that sync to your Google-powered CRM.
How They Work Together
Field Capture for Google Teams
Scan cards at events. Contacts sync to Copper and become part of your Google Workspace workflow.
Voice Context
Add voice notes at events. Notes sync to Copper records so your team has full context.
Offline to Cloud
Capture contacts offline at events. They sync to Copper (and Google) when you're back online.
Pre-Email Context
Copper tracks email relationships. Snowball captures the context before you ever send an email.
The Combined Workflow
Snowball captures contacts in the field, Copper manages them in Google Workspace.
