Why teams connect Gmail and Vtiger CRM

Keep Vtiger CRM and Gmail working from the same contacts, and log every call, message, and meeting back on the record, in real time and in both directions.

Vtiger CRM holds the people the business talks to: the contacts, their phone numbers and email addresses, and which rep owns the relationship. Gmail is where the talking happens, whether that is calls, texts, email, or meetings. The two depend on the same people, and when the contact list in one drifts from the other, outreach goes to stale numbers and the record of what was said never makes it back to the account.

Stacksync syncs Contacts, Organizations, Leads, Opportunities in Vtiger CRM with Threads, Labels, Drafts, Attachments in Gmail field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Current contact details flow out to Gmail so it can reach the right person, and the calls, messages, and meetings Gmail produces flow back onto the matching record in Vtiger CRM. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way contact and organization sync between Vtiger and a billing or ERP system.
  • 02 Sync Cases to an external help desk or engineering tracker so support and product teams work from the same tickets.
  • 03 Mirror Labels with pipeline or ticket states so triage done in an external tool is reflected inside the inbox.
  • 04 Log sent and received Messages onto CRM contact and deal timelines automatically so reps never copy-paste email history.

Common sync patterns

One contact list, opt-outs included

A number, address, or unsubscribe recorded in either system updates the other, so no one calls a disconnected line or messages someone who opted out.

New contacts reachable right away

A contact created or updated in Vtiger CRM appears in Gmail within seconds, so outreach starts without exporting a list or re-keying numbers.

Where Gmail reaches out: contacts kept current

Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and the owning rep from Vtiger CRM stay current in Gmail, so every call, text, or email goes to the right person at the right address.

What you can sync between Gmail and Vtiger CRM

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Gmail objects Vtiger CRM objects How this pairing syncs
Attachments File payloads referenced by message part; read out to storage or a document system for archival and compliance workflows. Invoices Billing documents pushed into accounting software. Attachments is specific to Gmail and Invoices to Vtiger CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
History The incremental change log keyed by historyId; used for efficient delta sync so only mailbox changes since the last cursor are fetched. Campaigns Marketing campaign records tied to leads and contacts. History is specific to Gmail and Campaigns to Vtiger CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages Individual emails with headers, body, and label state; read out to a CRM or warehouse for activity logging, and sent or modified two-way from sales tools. Contacts Person records linked to organizations; a core target for two-way contact syncs. Messages is specific to Gmail and Contacts to Vtiger CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Threads Conversation groupings that keep replies together; synced so a CRM timeline or support desk shows the full exchange, not isolated messages. Organizations Company and account records. Threads is specific to Gmail and Organizations to Vtiger CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels User and system labels (INBOX, SENT, custom); applied and removed via sync to mirror pipeline stages or triage states from an external system. Leads Unqualified prospects that convert into contacts, organizations, and opportunities. Labels is specific to Gmail and Leads to Vtiger CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Drafts Unsent messages; created and updated from templates or sequence tools so reps review before sending from their own mailbox. Opportunities Deal records, historically the Potentials module, synced for pipeline reporting. Drafts is specific to Gmail and Opportunities to Vtiger CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gmail and Vtiger CRM

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Gmail Vtiger CRM Sub-second propagation

DetectionGmail notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental sync via users.history.list from a stored historyId cursor, plus real-time push notifications through Google Cloud Pub/Sub watch on the.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Vtiger CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Vtiger CRM Gmail Sub-second propagation

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Gmail through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gmail: Quota is measured in units per user per second (e.g. messages.list = 5 units, messages.send = 100 units) against a 250 quota-unit/user/second limit and a daily project cap; exceeding limits returns 429 with exponential backoff expected.
  • Vtiger CRM: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by edition.
