Email-to-Touchpoint provides a new way to record activity in Totango directly from your inbox.  

Feature Description

Organizations and team leads interact with customers in many ways and using many different systems. Customer data and interactions need to be recorded accurately and efficiently in these systems. While email is the primary tool for customer interaction, it is important to capture this communication in other systems like Totango & CRM software.

CS teams and executives will benefit from being able to record customer emails as a touchpoint directly from their email client without the need to switch between screens. The touchpoint is viewable on the account timeline within Totango. 

Feature capabilities

• Record a meeting summary or touchpoint by simply sending an email to touchpoints@totango.com
• Recording email interaction via cc/bcc touchpoints@totango.com 
• Recording customer email via forwarding to touchpoints@totango.com
• Touchpoint Synchronization with Salesforce: With our integration, you can sync the touchpoint activity into salesforce

Benefits

• Save time by reducing the need to move from screen to screen
• Record customer activity once and sync across your systems - no need to enter data twice!
