The integration will allow you get new letters from Gmail from the selected folder, by sending them to other systems. For example, you can send new mail to CRM or GoogleSheets, and send them as notifications to yourself or a group of managers. You can also send letters to the SMS or Email mailing service. This will allow you to maximize the automation interaction of Gmail with other services and systems.
