We’re happy to announce we've expanded our offering of CRM integrations by adding SAP C4C and Microsoft Dynamics 365 support for the Outlook Add-in and Gmail plugin. With these integrations, you can now automatically log all sharing activities to the right Opportunity or Account – giving you a holistic view of all sales interactions with Leads or Contacts. Run reports on what content is being shared by sales to prioritize your content creation efforts accordingly. Additionally, when your CRM is linked to Showpad, users can log in to our platform using their CRM credentials for a seamless experience.

With updated Salesforce Content Recommendations, users can now view relevant recommended content on Accounts, Contacts, and Leads in addition to Opportunities. As an admin you can use more granular fields to set rules for content recommendations. For example, you can now recommend content with the tag 'Medical' for accounts with the industry 'Healthcare'. You can also now select which categories sales reps see as part of their content recommendations, and hide sections you don't want visible. As a sales rep, you can now find and share more relevant content for sales conversations based on details such as an account's industry.
