Connect Gmail to receive project requests

Google sign-in and Gmail intake need different permissions. A project connection brings new messages from a selected mailbox into the workflow.

Updated: · 1 min read

How to apply it

An authorized administrator starts Gmail setup in Taskending project settings. Select the right Google account and review read-only access. New inbox messages arriving after connection are checked approximately once a minute and processed into project issues or comments.

A concrete example

A “My report is empty” message to the support mailbox can become a request. Later messages in the conversation can be associated with existing context. Check project and customer information on the first example.

What to watch for

This is not an automatic migration of the entire historical mailbox. The connection does not send, modify or delete Gmail messages. Choose an appropriate project mailbox rather than an unrelated personal inbox.

How to check the outcome

Verify that a permitted new message reaches the correct record. Keep inbound intake separate from outbound email delivery.

Try it in your own workflow.

Keep email replies in the same request

Creating a new issue for every reply fragments support history. Message and thread identifiers help preserve the right conversation context.

What happens when you disconnect Gmail?

Disconnecting stops future intake; it does not automatically delete requests already stored as issues.

Create Taskending requests from your own application

Project-scoped API intake lets a customer submit support work from the application they already use. Limit authorization to the required project and operation.

API scopes and safe key handling

An API key grants access much like a password. Giving only the authority an integration needs limits the impact of mistakes.
