- Interaction Logging – A new entry is created in an Interaction History List of People

Real‑World Use Case
Customer Success Team at Acme Corp
Each week, reps send hundreds of onboarding emails and schedule dozens of 1:1s with new customers.
Without Integration:
- Sales managers are unable to see who when emails are sent, or to whcih companies, without clicking into each individually or sorting by "Last Interaction"
- Logging all interactions requires a workflow that burns through credits by mid-month
- Some reps forget to log interactions manually, leading to incomplete timelines
With Integration:
- Emails and meetings are captured automatically as interactions
- Each one appears on an Interaction History List in Attio
- No credits are used and no workflows need to be maintained
- Reporting can be created to understand Email and Meeting activity workspace-wide.
Result: Complete customer history, zero overhead, and infinite scale
FAQ
Q: Why not use workflows to log email and meeting activity?
A: Workflows consume credits. For high-volume orgs, this becomes expensive or unsustainable. This integration logs the same data without touching your quota.
Q: What data is logged?
A: Metadata only, and only the information available in Attio's UI already. For example, when the interaction took place, and with whom (whcih Attio user.)
Q: Is this actually real-time?
A: There's a small delay, so data is close to real-time, but in testing we've seen delays of ~20 minutes. This is a result of relying on Attio's webhooks for tracking data, rather than connecting to the source (Google or Outlook) for the interactions. As a result, it's possible that some interactions may not be logged if they happen in too-rapid of succession. In practice though, this is usually a small enough of a corner-case that it is unimportant.
Q: Can I customize which emails or events get logged?
A: Currently, all activity is logged if it matches a known contact.
Q: Does this include internal team emails?
A: No. Emails between teammates are filtered. This is an Attio setting
