The BombBomb Gmail integration is a connection between BombBomb and Gmail that works when sending emails. Connecting the Gmail integration with your BombBomb account, allows BombBomb to use Gmail servers to send your emails.
Gmail servers are more familiar to your computer and settings, making it a better platform for email sending instead of introducing another one (BombBomb servers) into the mix. Since you'll be sending from a familiar server, it improves your deliverability status and your emails are less likely to end up in anyone's junk mail. (Just need to ensure that the email address you use for BombBomb is the same one as your Gmail address so the two accounts can associate when connecting.)
Also, the Gmail integration works in conjunction with the Chrome extension and can allow you to schedule emails. These emails can be sent out at a later date and time of your choosing, and they will also have tracking capabilities. You'll be able to see who has opened your emails in real-time. Log in to your BombBomb account.
To learn how to connect the Gmail integration, check out the step-by-step below!
Hover over your name in the top right corner and select "Integrations." Or you can click the "Check out our integrations" option at the top right of your dashboard.
You can use the search bar on the Integrations page to search for "Gmail," or you can scroll through our integrations and find Gmail. Click on the Gmail icon once you find it.
You'll be given a description of the integration as well as the benefits of connecting the integration to your BombBomb account. To connect the integration, click the "Connect" button underneath the Setup section.
To finalize the Gmail integration, click on "Allow" at the bottom of the pop-up to allow BombBomb and Google access to one another. You're all set!

I have gone through all the integration steps but cannot see how BombBomb is integrated with my gmail account. Eugene Pilato, Broker of Record, Century 21 Today Realty Ltd., Brokerage. My email is eugene.pilato@century21.ca
Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your comment! Someone from our Customer Care team will be getting in touch with you to assist you with this integration.
Just an FYI for Follow Up Boss users. If you send a BB email from inside BB (instead of from your FUB dashboard) the email will not be recorded in your FUB record (unless you CC yourself). Which of course you can't do if sending a mass email. If you send from MailChimp, on the other hand, it will be recorded in your client record. I've asked FUB about this and here is their response:
"The MailChimp integration was built by us and we use their API to pull in sent emails onto the leads profile. BombBomb built the integration that pulls our leads into their DB and would need to use our API to send the emails sent back (100% possible to do)."
So, BombBomb, please make note of this for future adjustments.
Hi Stephanie,
I'm having a hard time understanding how this comment is related to the Gmail integration, which is what this knowledge base article is about. Can you please explain further?
Also, as I'd responded in the other comment you left, this would be a great suggestion for a feature request. You can submit feature requests here: https://support.bombbomb.com/hc/en-us/community/topics
Thanks Donna. I must have submitted this comment to the wrong thread.
does the gmail integration cost $?
My integration on Gmail accounts were working just fine using Chrome.
For personal reasons, I switched browser to MS Edge. Now I don't see the BombBomb icon on my Gmail. I tried, disconnecting and reconnecting, still not there. What do I need to do please?
Hi Kasama,
Thank you for your question! It sounds like you are referring to the Bombbomb Chrome Extension. which puts the power of Bombbomb into your Gmail account. This is only available through the Chrome browser at this time and is why you aren't seeing when you open up MS Edge.
Thanks again for your question and if you need any further help, please reach out to us at support@bombbomb.com.
We are happy to help you!
I am worried that Bombbomb can delete contacts
Hi Catherine,
Thanks for reaching out and for your question! Our system is able to sync contacts from Gmail to Bombbomb.
In contrast, we are not able to delete contacts from your Gmail account.
Please write us at support@bombbomb.com with any other questions.
We are happy to help!
