Hello, I am looking to get clarification about how to sync incoming lead emails into essentials. I have a web-to-lead form that works and I can send an email response within SF to a manually entered or web-to-lead lead. When the lead responds to me, I see their email response in my inbox but the activity is not logged in the lead record.

Given that email-to-lead is not available with essentials, is the only option for logging incoming communication from leads through the Gmail/Outlook integration and manually clicking "log in salesforce" from within your email inbox?
