Send emails with Gmail

Gmail is a simple yet powerful way to send emails from a Jet app.
Overview

The Gmail integration connects Jet Admin to a Gmail inbox, so you can send messages, search threads, and manage labels directly from a Jet Admin app instead of switching to Gmail itself. It's a way to give support or sales teams a scoped, purpose-built view of email that matters to their workflow.

Once connected, Gmail messages can be joined to records in your own database, scoped by role, and tracked in the audit log — so every email sent through Jet Admin is as accountable as any other action in your app.
