You work your CRM however you wish! That being said … I’m not a fan of … Integrations With Other Apps While I am generally not in favor of asking your CRM to do too much, and when you start connecting a variety of disparate apps … that’s too much, my main issue with integrations lies with client expectations. What about contact merges?

Let me say that I have never been a big fan of CRM mobile apps and that has included the offering from Nimble. The other outstanding feature is that your contact records, the prospector widget, the widget in gmail, the widget inside of Nimble, and your mobile apps will all now look and work substantially the same! I love Nimble.

Nimble CRM used to offer two-way contact synchronization between Nimble and Gmail or Outlook 365 via a third-party application called PieSync. Well, HubSpot bought PieSync, rolled it into their suite of services, and left the rest of us hanging out to dry. Google or Outlook should be where you manually add contacts.
