Access Apollo.io Insights and Intelligence Directly in Your Google Calendar

Meeting prep shouldn’t be a chore!

Apollo.io insights are now available in your calendar to help you succeed in your meetings, without leaving your schedule tab.

Apollo.io has integrated with Google Calendar to help save you time and offer valuable insights and intelligence in even more places where you already work.

Pre-meeting research is tedious and time consuming. Searching to gain an understanding of your prospects and their business is an essential part of closing every deal, however, it is not simple or enjoyable.

In fact, 30% of business professionals say the most stressful thing about meetings is preparing reports and gathering information.

Scraping the internet for relevant insights, Googling the names of meeting participants, bouncing between various social media pages; these are the kinds of tasks that have sales professionals scrambling in the final minutes before their important meetings.

With an Apollo account and our unparalleled Chrome Extension, pre-meeting stress is of the past!

You can create a streamlined pre-meeting workflow with instant access to millions of data points on verified contacts, all within your Google Calendar or Gmail tab. You’ll not only save time and complete more tasks, you’ll show up to your meetings confident, prepared, and fully equipped with relevant information on your prospect.

Let’s take a closer look at what this feature will do for you…

• A streamlined meeting to follow-up workflow. Manage your prospects, log meeting notes, create follow-up tasks, and send follow-up emails, all in one place using state-of-the-art Apollo workflows

And (if you can believe it!) all of this is available directly in your Google Calendar and Gmail calendar sidebar.

One window, a few clicks, and no fuss.

Most meeting scheduling begins and ends in email inboxes, which is why the Apollo and Google Calendar integration is also compatible with the sidebar in your Gmail!

With the handy and accessible Gmail Calendar Sidebar, you can gain all the Apollo sales intelligence that you would in your Google Calendar (contact info, prospect insights, company data, Apollo contact stages, Apollo lists and notes, etc.), but within your Gmail tab.

2. Click the Google Calendar sidebar and select the meeting you want to view.
3. Next, click the Apollo icon next to the contact you want to view.
4. You’ll see the Apollo content panel right in you Gmail sidebar. The information you’ll see is the same as in the full view of Google Calendar, just easier to access for on-the-go users.

Contact data, company insights, recent activities, social handles, contact stages, with the Google Calendar integration enabled, a world of functionality awaits you…
