Gmail add-ons
Gmail's "Add-ons" is a feature that allows users to integrate third-party applications directly within the Gmail interface. These add-ons can provide extra functionality to Gmail, such as allowing users to access project management tools, CRM systems, or other productivity apps without having to leave their inbox. Users can access Add-ons from the side panel in Gmail, and can also search and install new Add-ons directly from the G Suite Marketplace. The Add-ons feature is available for both personal and business Gmail accounts.
Step 1: Open your Gmail account and click on the "Settings" icon in the top right corner.
Step 2: Click on "Get add-ons" in the drop-down menu.
Step 3: Browse through the available add-ons or use the search bar to find a specific add-on.
Step 4: Click on the add-on you want to install and then click the "Install" button.
Step 5: Follow the prompts to authorize the add-on and grant it the necessary permissions.
Step 6: Once the add-on is installed, it will appear in the "Add-ons" drop-down menu in your Gmail account.
Step 7: Click on the add-on to use its features and tools within Gmail.
Some popular add-ons include:
- Trello: allows you to turn emails into tasks and add them to Trello boards
- Dropbox: allows you to save email attachments directly to your Dropbox account
- Boomerang: allows you to schedule emails to be sent at a later time or set reminders to follow up on emails
- DocuSign: allows you to sign and send documents directly from Gmail
- Zoom: allows you to schedule and join Zoom meetings directly from Gmail
Using add-ons can help streamline your workflow and increase productivity by allowing you to perform certain tasks directly within Gmail without having to switch between multiple apps or tools.
