What is a Gmail CRM?

A Gmail CRM helps you run a simple client or deal workflow from your inbox. Instead of switching tools, you keep contact context, deal stage, and tasks alongside real email threads.

Donna CRM is built for individuals who want a lightweight system: enough structure to stay consistent, without the overhead of a traditional CRM.

Best for

Consultants, freelancers, and solo B2B sellers who live in Gmail.
