Email Integration and Synchronization

Edited

In this guide, you will learn how to integrate your emails and set the sync setting for calendars and contacts. You can sync multiple email accounts, but only your default email account can have a calendar and contact sync.

Integrating your email into Scarlett Mortgage allows you to send emails directly from within the deal file to your clients and participant third-party vendors like real estate agent, lawyer, or underwriter. Integrating your email also allows you to view emails related to the file directly within the deal and take advantage of using Scarlett Mortgage email templates.

Scarlett Tips

Sync Options

You can also sync your calendar and contacts to conveniently coordinate your tasks and contacts across platforms.

Sync Settings for calendar include:

Two-Way Sync

  • Syncs Scarlett Mortgage Activities to Account Calendar, AND

  • Syncs Account Calendar Events to Scarlett Mortgage Activities

  • Pro: All your appointments, tasks, and activities in both places.

  • Con: Sometimes changes made in your email account settings or calendar can cause issues with Scarlett Mortgage Activities. As an example: if you have a vacation booked and have told Outlook to auto-decline any invitations during that time, and a Scarlett Mortgage automation creates a task for you, it will be declined by Outlook and disappear from Scarlett Mortgage.

One-Way Sync

  • Pushes Scarlett Mortgage Activities to Account Calendar ONLY

  • Only edits to Scarlett Mortgage Activities within your Account Calendar will sync back to Scarlett Mortgage

  • Pro: You can have confidence nothing outside Scarlett Mortgage will cause your activities or tasks to disappear from Scarlett Mortgage

  • Con: You can't see your events from your Account Calendar within Scarlett Mortgage when making appointments or assigning tasks within Scarlett, meaning you could double-book yourself.
