Once you've downloaded the Affinity Pathfinder Chrome Extension, you can now see your Affinity connections and allies in your Gmail inbox, websites, and LinkedIn.

Note: Since Affinity Pathfinder already includes all the functionality available in the Affinity Gmail Chrome Extension, feel free to remove the Affinity Gmail Chrome Extension if you have it downloaded as well.

 

Overview

 

 

How to use Affinity Pathfinder within your Gmail account (Gmail users only)

  1. Once you've downloaded the Affinity Pathfinder Chrome Extension, click on the icon on the top-right corner of your web browser to sign in.
  2. Make sure you click the Affinity logo on the top-right corner of your Gmail webpage, then sign in with the email account that is syncing into Affinity.
  3. Now, click open any email and click on the Affinity logo that appears on the right side of the email to see your Affinity CRM data as they relate to the participants associated with that email.
