Demandbase users are asked to authenticate with G Suite. This allows access to emails and calendar events so Demandbase can combine this data, along with other relevant data from Salesforce and Marketing Automation Systems, to present a full account activity log to the marketing and sales teams. This provides visibility to email communications across various account stakeholders.
Sync Details
The following flowchart shows how Demandbase syncs with Google emails and calendar events.
Setup
Each user can use the following steps to log in to their Google account and provide access permissions for Demandbase. Once users authenticate, Demandbase can pull email history from the last 6 months.
Tip: Users that do not want Demandbase to access their email and calendar can set up a username and password login that does not authenticate to Demandbase using Google.
