EverReady Connect, step by step

EverReady Connect captures your contacts and activities in your CRM: it reads every email signature, keeps contacts up to date, and syncs emails and meetings in the background. This guide covers the first login, then everything Connect does for you.

Signature reading

EverReady reads the signature of every email you exchange and turns it into a contact in your CRM.

Contact→Account

Account matching

A contact is created only when its account already exists in your CRM, so nothing lands in the wrong place.

EmailsMeetings

Background sync

Emails and meetings flow into your CRM on their own, with updates every 10 minutes.

The account comes first. EverReady creates a contact only when its account is already in your CRM. Add the account, and the contacts from the last two months are picked up automatically.

05

Contacts created and updated automatically

EverReady reads each email signature and creates or updates the contact in your CRM, on the right account.

How it works
  • Creates contacts for the accounts that already exist in your CRM
  • Updates existing contacts with any missing information
  • Adding a new account looks back two months to retrieve related contacts
Best practice

Create the account in your CRM first. EverReady then picks up the contacts from the last two months on its own.

06

Emails and meetings, always in sync

Emails and meetings sync into your CRM automatically when the contact exists, with updates every 10 minutes.

How it works
  • Items marked Personal, Private or Confidential stay out
  • Public domains such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail stay out
  • Blacklist specific domains and addresses whenever you need to
  • Meetings sync when at least one participant attends
How to use it

Add a domain to the blacklist as soon as you spot traffic you would rather keep out of the CRM, a supplier or a recruiter for instance.

07

Everything EverReady does, in one dashboard

See every contact, email and calendar event update EverReady performs, right from your dashboard.

How it works
  • Undo any update in one click: the contact leaves the CRM and is blacklisted
  • Departures detected through semantic analysis of out-of-office replies
  • Contacts to validate are surfaced for manual review when no account matches
How to use it

Open the dashboard once a week and clear the contacts to validate. It is the shortest way to keep the CRM clean.

08

Review and edit update details

Review the details of every contact update and edit fields directly from your dashboard.

How it works
  • Edit contact fields directly in the dashboard
  • Save your changes with the arrow in the top-right corner
  • Updates sync instantly back to your CRM
How to use it

Fix a job title or a phone number here rather than in the CRM: the correction flows back and survives the next sync.

Three habits to keep

Create the account first

EverReady only creates contacts for accounts already in your CRM. The account comes first, the contacts follow.

Keep the blacklist current

Every domain you exclude is noise your team will never have to clean up later.

Clear the validation queue

Contacts with no matching account wait in the dashboard. A weekly pass keeps that backlog at zero.
