Get more done in less time with G Suite Add-ons beta
Wednesday, April 10, 2019
Last year we announced a new feature that gives users quick access to Calendar, Hangouts, and Keep from an embedded side panel in G Suite. Today we’re announcing that the side panel is now open for third-party developers.
Who’s impacted
Admins and end usersWhy you’d use it
Add-ons help you complete tasks directly from the G Suite app you're using, rather than needing to toggle from one app to another.G Suite Add-ons also surface relevant information and suggest actions based on what you’re working on. For example, a salesperson can find customer info from their CRM tool while drafting a strategy in Docs, an engineer can add tasks to their project management app directly from Gmail, and a recruiter can consult their hiring pipeline while scheduling interviews in Calendar. Once enrolled in the beta, users in the domain will have access to new add-ons from Copper, Box, Workfront, Asana, Evernote, and Cisco, among others.
How to get started
