Migrate your Vocus data
Gmail-native email productivity and follow-up automation tool with Salesforce and Pipedrive integration. Targets sales teams who live in inbox and need lightweight cadence management without switching tools.
In its favor
Why people choose Vocus
The signal that keeps Vocus on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Lowest cost entry point among email productivity tools at $5 per user per month with unlimited email tracking and a 30-day no-card trial.
Integrates directly with Gmail and G Suite without requiring users to leave their inbox, keeping adoption friction minimal for sales teams already living in email.
Automated follow-up sequences with configurable cadences eliminate manual snooze management and reduce prospects falling through the cracks during long sales cycles.
Auto-BCC CRM sync with Salesforce and Pipedrive writes email activity back to contacts automatically without manual logging.
Per-user pricing with no per-inbox charges means teams can connect personal and work Gmail accounts under a single plan without billing surprises.
The browser extension crashes or hangs intermittently, causing Vocus to become unresponsive inside Gmail and disrupting active email workflows.
Analytics and reporting lag behind dedicated email tools and competitors, making it harder to present polished campaign performance data to stakeholders.
The dashboard for managing Snippets, Follow-ups, and campaign settings is not user-friendly, requiring excessive clicks to navigate between features.
G2 reviewers note that the tool lacks feature depth compared to alternatives, particularly around reporting, custom fields, and advanced workflow controls.

What gets migrated
Vocus object support
Object-by-object support for Vocus migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Gmail Inboxes (Connected Accounts)
Mapping requiredVocus.io connects to Gmail and G Suite inboxes via OAuth but does not expose a standard data model for the inbox itself. We map connected inboxes to owner/agent records in the destination CRM, preserving the relationship between email activity and the sending account.
Snippets
Mapping requiredSnippets are reusable text blocks stored in Vocus.io, scoped at 50/100/200 depending on the plan. We export Snippets as formatted text records and map them to template or signature objects in the destination platform, noting the per-plan limit that may constrain the migration scope.
Followup Sequences
Mapping requiredAutomated one-on-one follow-up sequences are defined in Vocus.io with delay rules and message content. We reconstruct these as task/activity sequences in the destination CRM, flagging any Followup count limits (50/100/500) that may affect migration completeness for high-volume sales teams.
Campaigns (Bulk Email)
Mapping requiredPersonalized bulk email campaigns with attachments and branded link tracking are stored as campaign objects. We export campaign definitions and reporting metrics as CSV, mapping them to CRM campaign or program records in the destination system.
Email Tracking Events
Mapping requiredReal-time open and click tracking events are logged per-recipient. These are not independently exportable via API; we extract what is available through the Gmail connector export and log tracking events as activity or engagement records in the destination CRM.
Teams (Shared Workspace)
Mapping requiredVocus.io Teams share analytics, templates, and billing under a central account. We map Team members to user or contact records in the destination CRM, preserving the shared workspace structure where the destination supports team or group objects.
CRM Integration Records (Salesforce, Pipedrive)
Mapping requiredAuto-BCC integration writes email activity to Salesforce Contacts and Pipedrive Deals. Migration from this integration layer requires exporting from the destination CRM directly rather than Vocus.io, since the integration itself is a write-through rather than a data store.
Attachments (Campaign-level)
Mapping requiredFile attachments included in Campaigns are stored in Vocus.io and downloaded during export. We preserve these as document or file attachments in the destination CRM, mapping campaign-linked attachments to the corresponding campaign record.
Custom Objects / Custom Fields
Not in this platformVocus.io does not expose a custom objects or custom fields API. The platform has no equivalent to CRM custom objects. We cannot migrate custom field definitions or values from Vocus.io; this data must be recreated in the destination platform manually.
Contacts / Leads
Not in this platformVocus.io does not maintain a contacts or leads database. It surfaces Gmail contacts and syncs with CRM contacts via the auto-BCC integration. There is no Vocus-native contact record to migrate; contact data must be sourced from Gmail contacts export or the destination CRM.
