Helpful Hints: Before you begin
- The Communications tab contains all communications within the last 90 days, as this is the maximum amount of time these records are stored by our email provider. If you would like to save backups of all email communications outside of Gingr, check out how to How to Export the Email History Log.
- All Gingr users can view the Owner Communications tab. However, users without the User Group Permission "Can View Client Information" cannot view Owner phone numbers or email addresses. You can configure this permission from the Left-hand Navigation: Reports & More » Groups.
- The Communications table does not immediately update once a new SMS, email, or call is completed. Users can expect an update approximately every 5 minutes.
