Features & Functionality

Gmail/Outlook Integration

monday CRM lets you integrate with your Gmail or Outlook account in order to centralize all client communication on one platform. This helps you track every interaction, especially because you will receive a notification when a sent email has been read. They also have the functionality to save recurring emails as templates, automatically personalize emails with client information in your CRM boards, and create your own email signature.

Activity Logging

Any activity you have with your clients can be logged into one easy-to-view list. This includes anything from emails and calls to meetings and demos or anything you choose to personalize.

Activity Tracking

Keep track of all your sales team’s activities and performance with monday CRM’s activity tracker. This also helps to get a clear overview and adjust strategy quickly.

Quotes and Invoices

Instead of using different tools to send out invoices and quotes, monday CRM has the capability to do it from within the platform. This includes being able to personalize documents by auto-populating information that exists on your boards.

Google Calendar

The monday CRM Google Calendar integration lets you log and manage any event or meeting from within the platform.

Ease of Use

One of the things that makes monday CRM different from other CRMs is its user-friendly design and code-free customizability. CRMs are usually rigid and list-based and look very much like Excel sheets. This can be very dull for some, making it difficult to identify and track certain leads or prospects. monday CRM has a very intuitive and colorful drag-and-drop interface, so it is very easy to use and understand. You can add contacts and columns to your list and edit and move your contacts, all while getting an overview of every deal at a glance.

The system also has a mobile app that allows users to access and update their CRM information on the go, adding to the ease and flexibility of the product. This can be crucial for small business or single venture owners, who are constantly on the go.

Contacts & Users

Managing leads and contacts is intuitive and straightforward on monday CRM. You can separate and manage leads on different boards, and collect leads in many ways (lead form, API, Facebook campaigns, etc.). You’ll have access to your communication history, which can help build strong relationships and personalize outreach efforts.

The sales pipeline is very visual and can be customized without a developer. The drag-and-drop functionality allows you to move leads between stages, although you can also set up automations to do that for you. And speaking of automations, they also enable you to automatically assign leads to sales reps and then qualify them based on different criteria like deal size, company size, location, and more.

The free version of the CRM allows only one user which is expected. If additional users join, you need to choose one of the paid packages available based on the features and number of users you need. There is a full breakdown on their page of what each package includes.

Reporting & Integration

The reports on monday CRM are very flexible and can help visualize both the big picture and little details. Pre-built dashboards are easy to customize which lets you display and personalize your most important information. The best part is that you don’t need a developer to do it for you. Live tracking and reporting helps you to get better insights into your sales pipeline status, forecasting, team performance and workload, and other crucial metrics.

monday CRM integrates with most popular tools like Salesforce, Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Hubspot, Mailchimp, Twilio, Aircall, Slack, and more. This just makes it easier to work in one place and not have to toggle between different apps to manage everything.
