Emon Core Features: Sync New Emails to Notion or Import Historical Emails

Watch: Emon's Core Features in Action

Now that you've seen how easy setup is, let's dive into what makes Emon powerful: historical email import and real-time sync. This demo shows both features working in real-world scenarios.

What You'll See in This Video

This demo showcases Emon's two most powerful features:

1. Historical email import — Sync months of past emails with one click
2. Real-time sync — Watch new emails appear in Notion within seconds
3. Contact organization — See how Emon groups all emails by person
4. Complete email capture — Every detail automatically synced

Feature 1: Historical Email Import

Most email integrations only capture new emails going forward. Emon is different—it lets you import your entire email history with a single click.

How It Works

1. Navigate to your Emon Dashboard
2. Click the green "Sync" button
3. Watch your past emails populate in Notion in real-time

With the Free tier, Emon imports up to 1 month of email history. Paid tiers unlock 6 months (Starter) or 1 year (Pro) of historical sync.

What Gets Imported?

Every email from the selected time period is automatically added to your Notion database:

• Contact name and email address
• Subject lines
• Email content (full message body)
• Timestamps
• Conversation history organized chronologically

No manual work. No copy-pasting. Just click sync and let Emon do the rest.

Feature 2: Real-Time Sync

Once historical sync is complete, Emon runs continuously in the background. Every new email—sent or received—automatically appears in your Notion database within 15 seconds.

See It in Action

In the demo video, watch both screens simultaneously:

• Left screen: A new email arrives in Outlook
• Right screen: The contact updates in Notion within seconds

Emon automatically:

• Creates new contacts if they don't exist
• Adds new emails to existing contact records
• Updates the "Last Contact" date
• Stores the full email content and metadata

Contact-Centric Organization

Unlike tools that create a separate page for every email, Emon organizes everything around contacts. When you open a contact in Notion, you see their complete email history in one place—chronologically organized with subject lines, dates, and full message content.

This structure makes it easy to:

• Review past conversations before reaching out
• Track relationship history over time
• See communication patterns at a glance
• Manage follow-ups and next steps

Why This Matters

Before Emon

• Manually copying emails into Notion
• Searching through inbox for past conversations
• Spending hours building custom automations
• Database goes stale after a few weeks

After Emon

• Complete email history available instantly
• All contacts automatically up to date
• Zero maintenance required
• CRM that actually stays current

Real-World Example from the Demo

In the video, you'll see:

1. A new email sent from a previously unknown address
2. The email arrives in Outlook
3. Within seconds, Emon:
   • Creates a new contact in Notion
   • Populates name and email address
   • Stores the subject line
   • Saves the full message content
   • Timestamps the conversation

From that moment forward, every future email with that person automatically appears under their contact record.
