Google Meet integration overview
The Google Meet integration allows reps to schedule and join meetings with automatically-created Google Meet links, launch and join on the fly meetings while they are on calls, and email and SMS those links to prospects in the Sellfire platform while retaining Sellfire reporting and the ability for Managers to live call coach reps without prospects hearing or adding another participant to the meeting. Recorded meetings can then be reviewed directly in Sellfire call reports.
IMPORTANT: For this integration to function optimally, reps need to ensure they have the latest version of and are logged into the Sellfire Google Chrome extension.
Set up
Enablement users
Before reps will have the option to connect Sellfire with their Google Meet, an Enablement user needs to navigate to System Configuration > Integrations, and click the Connect toggle on the Google Meet tile.
Note: Only connect Google Meet in your production Sellfire account that you are using for real leads and activities. Do not connect your sandbox (test) Sellfire account.
Rep users
Once an Enablement user has connected the integration for your organization, reps can take the following steps to connect to their Google Meet instances.
Note: Only connect Google Meet in your production Sellfire account that you are using for real leads and activities. Do not connect any sandbox (test) Sellfire account that you may have.
-
- Navigate to Account Settings, which is accessed at the top of the left navigation bar by clicking on the profile picture.
- Navigate to the Google Meet tile under the integrations section, and click Connect.
- Complete the authentication flow that appears. This will look similar to how these flows look when authenticating Google with other applications.
- Verify that the integration is connected by navigating to the Dialer section and checking to see if the Google Meet icon
is populated at the top right of the lead card in the Next Action section.
- Note that if you do not have any leads assigned to you yet, you won't be able to complete this step. Don't worry, once you have been assigned leads, you can validate.
- Celebrate with your friends, family, and coworkers!

These generally take approximately 15 minutes to populate after the meeting has ended. To access the call reports, find the lead and call (in the Rep Queue, Dashboard reporting, All Leads / My Leads sections, or Call Library), and click on the call recording link.
