My Integrations

Set up your personal integrations for email, call and SMS

Here you will find everything you need to set up your personal email, call and SMS settings.


Email Settings

The Email Settings section of your Firefish Integrations allows you to set up your inbox so you can send emails directly from your database.

We have a whole Fish Tank section for configuring your email settings - you can check out here!


Calendar and Task List Sync

Firefish allows you to sync your diary events and follow-up calls with your Outlook (Microsoft 365) or Gmail calendar so you'll receive reminders when your meetings, interviews, CV deadlines and calls are due.

You can activate Calendar Sync within the Email Settings page under My Integrations.

Choose your email provider to jump to setup instructions:

Syncing with Outlook (Microsoft 365)

To sync with Outlook, go to your name at the top right of the system >My Integrations >Email Settings.

Providing your System Emails are configured to Microsoft 365, you'll see a section called Calendar and Task List Sync:

Next, you'll need to authenticate with Microsoft 365. When you click Login, you'll be redirected to Microsoft's login page where you can enter your email account details.

 

You'll then be redirected back to your Firefish email settings page where you should see a message, confirming the authentication was successful:

Once authenticated, all that's left to do is choose whether you want to sync your Diary Events, Follow-up Calls or both. Once chosen, a service status will appear to confirm the service is running:

BCC and Forwarding Addresses

You will also notice on this page that you have a BCC Address and Forwarding Address that are unique to your System. The add-in automatically adds these addresses when logging emails directly from Outlook. You can also manually add these emails into the address fields within an email to ensure that the email is always logged in Firefish even if the add-in is not available to you at the time of email send.

Never-Log List

Individual users have their own Never-Log list, where they can flag recipients who's emails should not be logged in Firefish. This will only apply to themselves and won't stop the email from being logged by any other users included in the email.

Any emails added to the company's Never Log list by a Super User will appear in the same place but cannot be removed:
