How do companies use Gmail?

Popular, smart ways to use Gmail every day

  • When a new invoice email arrives, an AI reads the content and pulls out the relevant financial data to send to your payments spreadsheet or ERP.

  • Whenever something important happens in your operation (an urgent email, a deal moved to a new stage, a new hot lead), a highly personalized message is generated automatically by AI and saved to your drafts folder for a human to review before sending.

  • With every attachment received by email, the file goes on its own to the matching cloud folder, already with a standardized name. Documents stay organized and available for later reference.

How to use Gmail on Pluga

Boost Gmail in your workflow

With Pluga, you connect Gmail to one (or more!) apps to build anything from the simplest integration to the most advanced flows, with several layers of logic.

  • Basic 1

    Pick the source app and the trigger

    Choose which app starts the automation and which event works as the trigger. For example, "For each new email received in a tab or a label in Gmail".

  • Basic 2

    Set the destinations and the actions

    Select the apps that make up the flow with Gmail and what Pluga should run automatically at each step.

  • Basic 3

    Map the information

    Point out, visually, which data from the source app should fill in each field of the destination action.

  • Intermediate

    Only move forward when it makes sense

    Set "AND" or "OR" conditions so the automation only runs in the cases that matter

  • Intermediate

    Pause the flow for as long as you need

    Set the automation to wait minutes, hours or days and resume the next action on its own

    Explore
  • Intermediate

    Standardize data across apps

    Adjust dates, numbers and characters to the format the next app expects to receive

    Explore
  • Advanced

    Explore
  • Advanced

    Add a code block

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know to get started with Gmail on Pluga.

  • On Pluga, you set Gmail as the destination of an automation and define the trigger in the source app (new lead in the CRM, new charge paid, new form response). The email goes out with a custom subject and body, using data from the automation.

  • Yes. The send email action in Gmail accepts attachments, an HTML body and multiple recipients (to, cc and bcc). Useful for sending contracts, receipts, proposals and reports.

  • You can set up automations that use Gmail as the source (trigger: new email with a given subject or label) and create the lead or opportunity in the CRM you use.

  • Yes, Pluga uses Google OAuth to connect to Gmail. You authorize only the required permissions and can revoke access at any time from your Google account.

  • Since the message goes out from your own Gmail account (with your sender reputation), deliverability tends to be good. For bulk sending, though, use a dedicated email marketing tool.

  • Yes. Pluga has actions to apply labels, move messages and mark as read, which helps organize the inbox based on external events.
