Import from CMass Contacts

CMass builds a contact list from your Gmail history. Browse, search, and add contacts you've already emailed.

CMass Contacts is a database built from your Gmail sending history. Every time you email someone through Gmail, CMass adds them to your contact list and tracks the relationship — when you last emailed them, how often you communicate, and your engagement score.

What CMass Contacts shows

  • Every person you've emailed (or who has emailed you) in your connected Gmail account
  • Their first name, last name, and email address (as extracted from email headers)
  • A relationship score based on email frequency and recency
  • Whether they've been marked as dormant (no interaction in 90+ days)

How to import from Contacts

  1. 1Open CMass from the compose window
  2. 2Go to the Recipients tab and click the '👥 Contacts' source tab
  3. 3Click 'Load CMass Contacts' — this pulls up to 500 contacts
  4. 4Use the search box to filter by name or email
  5. 5Click '+ Add' next to individual contacts, or 'Add all X →' for the entire filtered list

Searching and filtering

The search box filters contacts by name or email in real time. Use it to find specific people or narrow down a segment — for example, search for a company domain to add everyone from that company.

💡 CMass shows up to 500 contacts at a time. If you have a large contact base, use the search filter to find the segment you want — for example, filter by domain to target a specific company or industry.

Tips for using Contacts effectively

  • Check the 'Dormant' count in the CMass popup — these are contacts who haven't heard from you in a while and may be good targets for a re-engagement campaign
  • The relationship score helps you prioritize your warmest leads — sort or filter by score if your outreach strategy varies by relationship strength
  • Contacts are synced in the background — if you've sent email recently, new contacts may appear after a few minutes
