Drift Email Extension

The Drift Email extension helps you remove friction from the buyer experience.

Using this extension, you’ll be able to let your buyers book a meeting from email in one-click, automatically greet prospects you emailed with a personalized message when they’re on your website and get notified when your ABM accounts are ready to chat.

The Drift Email extension closes the loop between conversations that happen over email and conversations that happen in real-time on your website, ensuring that sales reps never miss an opportunity to connect with a prospect at exactly the right time.

With the Drift Email extension, sales development reps will be able to greet website visitors with personalized messages and respond instantly while a prospect is live on their website. And if a sales rep can’t be there in real-time, Driftbot will jump into the conversation and automatically schedule a meeting with the prospect for later.

In addition, sales reps will be able to track opens and clicks, see conversation history, and get real-time alerts when a prospect responds to a conversation, as well as enroll leads in email sequences directly from within Salesforce.

The Drift extension also includes performance reporting for sales managers, so they can see how many conversations reps are having, their conversion rates, and more.
