How do you setup email in your application and link it to a record

Hey Chris.

I have been trying to look online but haven't been successful in finding out the following. Say you made a CRM application in Rails and setup a pop3/imap email in the app. How would you take that email and associate it with a contact? If anyone has worked with Gmail Api - how do companies sync emails to contacts/companies with their apps?

To link emails to records in your Rails app, you can use libraries like Mail or Action Mailer to handle email parsing. For associating emails with contacts, you might store email data in your database and create associations between emails and contact records. If you’re working with Gmail API, you can use it to fetch emails and then match them to your contacts based on unique identifiers.
