I use Groove to import contacts via Salesforce, create email templates, and keep track of opens and link clicks. This helps me understand what percentage of prospects that open my emails, and reach out when the open and read the email.
As an account manager, I'm able to keep track of data and change up my email subject lines and text based on success rates.
  • Track email opens
  • Track clicks
  • Import contacts via Salesforce
  • easier to reupload
  • auto de-duping based on email addresses
  • recommended Salesforce format
Well Suited: Reaching out to prospects and maintaining relationships with clients

We use Groove to:
  • Increase rep productivity and relevant reporting
  • Improve data quality going into Salesforce (auto logs activities and meetings)
  • Reduce gaps in properly responding to inbound leads
  • Analyzing trends in rep conversations and meetings
  • Seamlessly integrates into Salesforce, it's native built around Salesforce
  • Effortless logging of user emails, meetings, and calls (it just works!)
  • Always developing new features and engaging with the passionate and ever-growing Groove community
  • Excellent support team if issues ever arise
  • There are a few complex use cases where we've had to reach out to Groove support / solution architects to come up with a proper solution. It would be great to see something like a "How We Solved That Using Groove" knowledge base created to help get the creative solution innovation flowing more for us before we have to formally reach out for support.
  • It would also be nice if the Groove dialer had a way to better interact with inbound phone trees and/or more tutorials provided on how to set up Groove according to best practices with the top phone solutions like Zoom Phone.
  • Groove Conversations is good, but it still has a ways to go to be an equivalent of other top tools in this space like Gong and Chorus.
  • Our reps would like the ability to initiate an outbound phone call from their cell phone and have it be auto-logged without any involvement of their desktop Groove dialer app.
  • Groove is excellent for the use case of improving sales representative and customer success representative productivity and data quality when used alongside Salesforce. It is a Salesforce focused tool. You should definitely consider Groove if you are a current Salesloft / Outreach user and you also use Salesforce.

  • Groove would not be a good fit for an organization not using Salesforce.

Groove enables collaboration among customer support agents and other team members. It allows us to assign tickets, leave internal notes, and track the status of customer issues, leading to more efficient problem-solving. The automation is the best bit about groove which makes sending emails in bulk really easy. You can also create flows to track the progress of emails which saves time given email responses are automated.
  • Automation
  • Tracking
  • Analytics
  • Creating flows can be long
  • Have found that attachments in templates sometimes don't send
Groove is great at creating personalised emails in bulk. That is one of the key aspects we use it for. Another important aspect is tracking emails, opens, and then engaging with our key stakeholders. It also helps us understand who is not opening emails so we can find another way of communicating with key customers. I think the user interface could be improved as well as the ease of creating the flows and automation

Through this platform, it helps us make sure that we can easily communicate with our clients not just through email but phone calls as well. Overall, this is a great experience since it also has user friendly interface which makes it easier to reach out and reply to customers whenever they have questions.
  • Automation of sending emails - this makes communicating through customers easier since we can easily contact them not just through a phone call but with email as well
  • Great job with Customer service. Issues are addressed as soon as possible and there's always an update regarding its status
  • Does a great job with administrating the Salesforce extension
  • Somehow, it would be great if the interface for customer support is easier access since Groove somehow comes with convenience
  • It would be great if Groove can be linked to another campaign so minimal modification is needed whenever there's update in the tools permission
  • It's sometimes challenging to create and track down notes since there are times where it is confusing and hard to navigate
Groove is a great help with sending email through customers since the email thread can be easily accessed not just by the current employee who handles the salesforce account but also the next user who will access it. Sometimes, it is less appropriate because there's too much of everything where you are about to do a simple task. For example, you will need to press multiple keys just to get through the send email interface

Groove overall is a well thought out piece of software that has a bright future. The pricing is great for the value that you receive from the tool.
  • Groove Flow is the best automation tool that our company has used - it is intuitive with a friendly UI and strong integration with SalesForce. Groove's support team is amazing and quick, and willing to put in user requests for new features.
  • The only complaint I would have is when I have it turned on in my gmail it covers up a portion of my email window where attachement typically show up.
I often found out that the Salesforce.com integration was broken for a user after the fact.

I use Groove to assist with creating and sending communication to my customers. Groove supports streamlining the communication process in an efficient and easy to use way. Groove allows me to easily check if my communication was received, read, replied, etc. Groove's platform is organized and easy to use. It saves me valuable time and assists with me adding value to my customers!
  • Setting up flows are easy to do
  • Checking in on flows that have been sent is easy to use
  • Groove is user friendly
  • I wish that it was easier to group certain client emails without the cumbersome process of the CSV file in Salesforce
I have to say my customer support experience has made me enjoy Groove even more. The self help articles that have videos and less words are super helpful and every support person I've interacted with has gone way over what I expected. I did stumble upon an a problem where I didn't realize follow up flows for a problem were sent out to customers. I'm sure this was an error on my part and I will need to look into it.

We are using it to keep track of our daily activities in the Sales department. It helps us manage our time better for a smoother sale cycle which allows us to hit our numbers/goals and stay on track as a team and organization.
  • Keeps us organized
  • User friendly
  • Great customer support
  • Glitchy sometimes
  • You can't remove people from flows easily; sometimes you remove them and they stay on.
  • Nothing else
I would give Groove a 10. I haven't had any major issues with it and it is a really great tool to have in our organization. I am definitely more organized than before when we didn't have software.

What I love about Groove in our organization is it makes my job more efficient and more easier. Groove allows me to finish consuming tasks such as email logging, outbound call logging, activity capture, and meeting scheduling without data latency or sync errors on a timely manner. I think above all though, the customer support at Groove is best. Friendly staff, and extremely responsive. Big kudos to the staff at Groove.
  • Automated activity logging into Salesforce
  • Scheduling meetings
  • Convenient tracking of unread emails
  • Amazing reporting
  • Customer service sometimes is hard to reach
  • Some of it's features causes delay on my PC
  • More tutorials provided on how to set up Groove according to best practices with the top phone solutions like Zoom Phone
It can provide granular data insights about the performance of our sales outreach campaigns. It allows us to track, edit and adapt as we go and we are also able to tell exactly if all the hard work we put into these campaigns is paying off or not. I would definitely recommend Groove to anyone I know.

Groove is used daily across all teams within the Sales department. Personally, I use Groove daily for the amazing flows and templates. These tools allow me to automate a majority of my outreach, which allows me to save A LOT of time. I also use Groove integrations within Salesforce and Gmail to save time because it allows me to stay on 1 tab rather than switching from tab to tab.
  • Templates
  • Flows
  • Integrations
  • OmniDialer Connection
  • Mobile App
  • OmniDialer for IPhone
Groove is well suited for organizations and/or occupations that require a lot of outreach. I have used other platforms that hold email templates, but Groove is amazing because the integration across different platforms is extremely efficient — saving me time everyday! Another scenario where Groove would be well suited is for tracking the outreach you are doing. I love seeing how much activity Groove is helping me achieve regarding outreach (emails, calls, and texts).

Email is considered the bread and butter in the line of our work. Thus, it is very important for us to monitor and secure the details that we put into it. As customer sales representatives, we call different customers or partners to ask them if they can join us. Groove helped us to monitor and see if our clients were able to see, read, and check the links that we sent them. It also gives us an idea of when and where they read our emails to them. Thus, gives us a hint of when can we send follow-up emails and makes our communication pretty easy.
  • Monitoring email
  • Scheduled email
  • Snoozed
  • Templates
  • Requires log in form time to time
  • Glitch in the app
  • Support takes time to respond
Businesses can send email campaigns to their customers and subscribers using this software. You can use user behavior to create opt-in forms, email broadcasts, newsletters, and automation. One thing I like is this is free. I believe for those users who want to try first and see how reliable this software is.

We use groove to sync gmail to Salesforce, and to send mass emails out using flows.
  • sync email
  • sync calendars
  • track email links
  • track email opens
  • support email automation through flows
  • The analytics would be nice to have in a Salesforce dashboard.
  • Having a tab/app for groove inside of Salesforce so we do not have to leave Salesforce to access it.
Groove has done everything promised and helped our sales teams continually reach out to their customers. It is easy to use, and setup.

We use Groove to:

  1. Log emails from Gmail into Salesforce
  2. View Lead/Contact/Account/Opp info from Salesforce in Gmail (includes creating as well)
  3. Track opens/clicks on emails
  4. Set follow up tasks
  5. Create and share calendar links
  6. Set automated flows to clients and prospects
  7. Insert template messages into Gmail
  • Email tracking from Gmail to Salesforce
  • Calendar/Scheduling, especially the "insert times" feature where. you can send several times and a client clicks on one.
  • Creating follow-up tasks in Salesforce
  • Setting up flows of email/linkedin/call messaging
  • Tracking clicks and opens easily within Gmail
  • Creating/Viewing/Updating account, lead, contact info from Salesforce without having to leave Gmail.
  • Inserting email templates into messages
  • I wish the "pick a timezone" piece in scheduler tool was easier to search/scroll...or I could set my more regular choices (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific) to populate at the top of the list by default.
  • It would be nice if I could schedule send all emails in a Groove flow at the beginning of the flow.
  • I would like to have multi-select fields, not radio button so I can select multiple objects in SFDC (opps, contacts, accounts, leads) to log an email to.
Groove is amazing if you are looking to log emails, make it easy for clients to schedule, set up tasks/reminders and action leads and opportunities without ever having to leave Gmail. I used Cirrus Insight for years and love it. But, Groove started as a "required app" I had to use with a new employer and has switched to a "never want to leave it" app.

We use Groove to support Marketing events and initiatives, but most importantly we use it to supplement Sales messages. We automate responses and flows to start people on a path of interest and continue the nurturing based on decisions or actions by the prospect/customer.
  • link to SFDC campaigns
  • automate messaging and steps
  • flow information between Salesforce and other apps
  • Additional detailed reporting on final actions or decisions from a flow
  • quickly append global actions to specific flows vs recreating them
  • quick transfer of flow or template ownership vs sharing
Groove is easy to install and implement. User adoption is quick and does not require in-depth knowledge of marketing or sales messaging. It carries data between SFDC and itself. It allows for quick scheduling of meetings and reduces individual messaging between prospects and Sales.

I find that you do need to make sure you have a good process in place for what you want to automate and the various messaging/timing for each flow. However, this is true for any system such as this.

After extensive research and use of the major systems in the market area, it was an easy choice to use Groove.

We have been using it to send emails using the custom templates within Groove. We also use the Groove analytics feature to check the engagement made by prospects over emails and how to better engage with them.
  • Tracking email activities such as emails viewed/opened
  • Tracking email activities such as links clicked
  • Has features like Email Analytics, Custom Templets for Emails
  • Frequent updates move features around
  • Email tracking is good but whenever links are added it adds a custom link to track it
  • Lacks PDF tracking
Groove does an excellent job as a sales engagement platform. From tracking email activities and scheduling meetings to provide analytics features. The only thing it lacks is PDF tracking which sometimes is really required in a sales or marketing job.

We use Groove to automate our Business Development process and streamline how we reach out to new prospects and clients we already support. Being able to put clients into a Flow and just click thru to send the emails really helps cut out the time that would normally be spent creating each email individually.
  • User Interface
  • Customizable features
  • Ease of access to tech support
  • Adding prospects to a flow - I think you can only do one by one right now
  • sharing flows with your team - wish you could share them with various teams
Well suited - consistent outreach over a specified time Less appropriate - customized emails that vary by each prospect

For massive emails to keep track of how customers progress by accessing or using the content within the body of the email.
Also, reach out to customers with low interaction and usage at the ThousandEyes platform.
Using Flows and templates every month to identify new contacts reacting to emails and if that's a low usage customer, engage with meetings to progress
  • Easy to use and create Templates
  • Flows are easy to create and understand
  • keep record of what happens to the email
  • have the possibility to set activities per day.
  • Editing tools for HTML embedded to emails body
  • Integrated tools for visual elements to use
  • A way to Recall emails in case of an email correction
Groove always helps me to reach out steadily to a big group of contacts when I have to share something important and mainly to keep a track of what happens with the email like, who is reading it, opening, using, replying, and sharing the content within.

I love how I can set rules to automate email progress.

Groove helps to track all of our sales processes and tactics and seamlessly integrate them with Salesforce. It is a simple plugin and enables us to integrate everything from simple email tracking, including opens and link clicks, to call and meeting logging and other areas that provide visibility for both our sales team and client services and sales support teams.
  • Integrates with email to track opens and link clicks
  • Allows quick and easy entry of new contacts and puts them directly into Salesforce
  • Allows batch email sending, including personalization for each email
  • This product loses connection with email occasionally and needs to be logged back in
  • Sometimes does not integrate fully seamlessly when adding new leads or contacts in via email extension
  • Is sometimes a bit clunky in terms of integration with Gmail specifically; may work better with Outlook, but haven't used it with that product
This product is an easy plugin to use if you need to integrate or automate processes with Salesforce or other CRM platforms. It also makes it simple to input contact and lead data directly from email platforms instead of having to open Salesforce separately, which can be a major time saver if there is are many contacts being entered at once.

Groove is synced both with my email and calendar.
I use it to understand how many emails I wrote, how many of those were opened and by whom, whether links were clicked on and documents opened or not. Also I organize my meetings and calls with the feature that allows to show my availability and set calls only at the time I'm free
  • Email activity tracking
  • Follow up on mass emails
  • Calls planning
  • UX for setting calendar availability is a little not too intuitive
I recommend Groove for all customer facing roles where the job consists of emails and calls. This tool allows you to keep track of your communication flows, reminds you about the tasks that were not complete and makes your life easier in so many ways. Everything is synced with Salesforce, so you're covered 360 here.

There are so many beneficial parts of the Groove platform that it's hard to pinpoint just one thing. I value the seamless way it connects with my email client, so I know who is opening my emails and clicking on the links I'm sharing. It helps me keep track of what's working and what's not.
  • Tracks to Salesforce.
  • Automates the process.
  • Identifies the hand raisers.
  • Stop being so good so others can get a piece of the pie.
I love getting access to hard data on how my communication is working with clients, and Groove allows me to do that better than any tool I've used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Groove helps me to reach out to more people, and at the same time get very useful insights about my emails and activities I have made.
  • Easy to use
  • Good reporting
  • Great integration with gmail and salesforce
  • Groove could have more videos to learn more about its features.
Groove is great if you work with customers and use salesforce. Being able to reach out to leads without having to worry to enter the information in the CRM is great. This works not only if you are a salesperson but if you are a consultant or provide support.

When Groove is set up correctly it doesn't let you miss contacting your pipeline. When you get busy with some clients or just company projects, you can miss things. Groove automatically sends emails and texts to your pipeline per your parameters. Has made me more productive with less work.
  • Keeps me in touch with all prospects.
  • Helps me to eliminate non interested prospects faster.
  • Pipeline is more efficient.
  • It will report some contacts that nothing was sent so, my PC gets loaded.
  • Would like a lesson with examples. Would be great if I could get a one-on-one with a pro who could hear my needs and tailor a Groove for me.
I am not an expert. I rely on my team. But, I think it has more uses that I am utilizing.

I use Groove for email outreach. It allows me to send out larger amounts of emails and track the success of my email campaigns. I can tell if someone has opened an email or clicked on a link within an email I have sent. It also helps keep me organized with outreach. Beyond emails, I also use them to make phone calls.
  • Tracks email campaigns.
  • Allows you to quickly and efficiently get large amounts of email out.
  • Allows you to create workflows for future outreach.
  • It can be tedious to update all fields of campaigns, making it an easier process would be nice. A drag-down option is a potentially or easier way to move from one field to another.
Groove is well suited for anyone trying to do large amounts of outreach and get a lot of activity out in a short period of time. If you want to understand better what messaging is working best, it can help you identify when/where engagement is the highest.

It was really useful and handy during the implementation of the sales force, during the practice sessions and implementation stages. Being able to send to salesforce is a plus—solid value for the price point. The integration into SalesForce and Gmail is also incredible too, and really leverages the tools like the message and link tracking to have the best timing on calling customers.
  • Significantly less manual work to manage a large pipeline of leads and opportunities.
  • Groove has automated manual work that should have been gone years ago.
  • Implementation hurdles.
  • Significant amount of time in working properly and with our other systems.
Groove allows you to log and track emails coming in and out. Groove offers an inexpensive solution for those several hundred users to still engage our constituents right from their email accounts. It's easy to use and set up. It also offers a lot more functionality and simple user management. The user experience in the flows is sometimes a challenge. It is not as clean as I'd like it to be.

Our organization uses Groove in a variety of capacities. The biggest use case for us is attaching the emails, meetings, and calls we have with customers to the Salesforce opportunity. This saves us from having to manually enter these activities saving us a tremendous amount of time which means we have more time to allocate towards activities to drive net new business.
  • Meeting Scheduler - shows our availability and allows our clients/partners to book meetings with us
  • Log Activities to SFDC - with just a few clicks you can share the activity to the opportunity in Salesforce
  • Groove Analytics - a dashboard that shows your activities for the day, week, month, or quarter. It also shows as a percentage of the emails that are opened and the links that are clicked
  • Being able to add a new contact record to Salesforce by simply attaching the activity to the opportunity
  • Being able to log meetings that occur based on clients/partners using the meeting scheduler link your software provides
  • Being able to share leads to AWS/Microsoft using Groove i.e a connector that allows me to share to the APN/MPN
If your sales team is manually entering all activities with clients Groove is something that you need. I've personally only ever used Groove with Gmail and Salesforce but I can only assume that it's just as good if you're an Office 365/Dynamics 365 shop. Help your sellers and your organization by enabling them to spend more time on money-generating activities rather than data entry.
