Practical guides to help you get the most out of Donna CRM inside Gmail.

AI assistant

Turn conversations into next steps with a human-in-the-loop assistant.

  • Ask the assistant to summarize a thread and pull out action items.
  • Draft a follow-up email and edit it in your own voice.
  • Create or update CRM context from a real conversation (with confirmation).
  • Use onboarding suggestions as a starting point, then refine over time.

Getting started

Install the extension, then let inbox onboarding recommend a first setup.

  • Install Donna CRM from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Open Gmail and click the Donna CRM icon in the sidebar.
  • Run inbox onboarding to scan recent threads and recommend a lightweight setup.
  • Review suggestions and confirm what gets created, then start from real threads.

Import guide (CSV + Google Sheets)

Bring your contacts into Donna CRM using CSV or Google Sheets.

  • Start with a sheet that has at least name + email columns.
  • Clean duplicates and verify emails before importing.
  • Run a small import first to confirm mapping and formatting.
  • Use tags/notes to preserve context during your migration.

How pipelines work

Use stages to track work and keep momentum in one place.

  • Create stages that match your real workflow (sales, recruiting, partnerships).
  • Move items as the next step happens-keep stages lightweight.
  • Use notes/tasks to capture handoffs and follow-ups.
  • Review your pipeline regularly to unblock stalled work.

How campaigns work

Create and send bulk email campaigns with basic personalization.

  • Create a template you'd be comfortable sending 1:1.
  • Segment recipients into a focused list (keep it specific).
  • Personalize the opener and preview before sending.
  • Track opens/clicks and follow up only where it makes sense.

How tracking works

Understand opens and clicks so you can prioritize follow-ups.

  • Track opens and clicks from Gmail alongside the thread.
  • Use engagement to prioritize follow-ups and keep pipeline status fresh.
  • Review campaign engagement to see what gets replies over time.
  • Pair tracking with a simple next-step habit (task and reminder).
