Gmail Add-ons
Gmail Add-ons are extensions that integrate directly into the Gmail interface, allowing developers to build custom functionality that enhances email workflows. They enable users to access third-party services, automate tasks, and view contextual information without leaving their inbox. These add-ons are built using Google Apps Script or modern web technologies and can be deployed for personal use or published on the Google Workspace Marketplace.
Developers should learn Gmail Add-ons when building productivity tools, CRM integrations, or automation solutions that require seamless interaction with email data. They are ideal for use cases like scheduling meetings from emails, tracking packages, managing customer support tickets, or syncing data with external APIs directly within Gmail. This skill is valuable for creating enterprise applications that improve workflow efficiency in Google Workspace environments.
