Google Workspace AI Integration

Gmail and Sheets, Connected to Your ERP, Not Just Each Other

Gmail and Sheets already carry a large share of your operational data, and none of it reaches the ERP without someone copying it across by hand.

  • SameApps your team already uses
  • ConnectedDirectly to your ERP
  • 5-7 wkTo a first working integration
  • 1App to start, more to follow

Why It Matters

Gmail and Sheets are where the work actually happens

Stop retyping what a supplier already emailed you

A purchase confirmation or a delivery update usually arrives as an email and either gets manually re-typed into the ERP or, more often, never does. AI reads the email, extracts the relevant fields, and posts them, flagging anything unclear for a person to check.

  • Order and request details extracted from Gmail text.
  • Extracted data posted directly into your ERP.
  • Unclear cases flagged for a person, not guessed at.

The tracker your team trusts, kept current automatically

Teams build real operational trackers in Sheets because they are fast and flexible. Instead of replacing them, this connects the same Sheet to live ERP data, so it refreshes automatically and nobody has to remember to update it before a meeting.

  • Existing Sheets connected to live ERP data.
  • No manual export and paste required.
  • Always current at the moment it is opened.

Built on Google's own supported access layer

The integration reads and writes through Google Workspace's official APIs, the same access layer Google supports for legitimate third-party apps. This keeps the integration stable across Google's own platform updates rather than depending on a fragile workaround.

  • Access through Google Workspace's official APIs.
  • Stable across Google's own platform updates.
  • No unsupported workarounds into your domain.

It sees only what the connected account already can

The integration operates under your existing Google Workspace permission model, so it never gains broader access than the account it runs under already has. Your admin retains full control over what is granted and can revoke it the same way as any other app.

  • Runs under your existing domain permission model.
  • Access scoped to what is explicitly granted.
  • Revocable the same way as any other connected app.

Each app gets the capability that fits how it is used

Gmail gets email extraction, Sheets gets live data connections, Drive gets document search, Calendar gets capacity-aware scheduling. Each capability is built for how that specific app is actually used in your business, not a one-size-fits-all bolt-on.

  • Capability matched to each app's actual usage pattern.
  • Built and tested app by app, not all at once.
  • Extended to additional apps once the first is proven.

What a Google Workspace integration typically covers

  • Gmail data extraction

    Order, request and complaint details pulled from emails into your ERP.

  • Live Sheets reporting

    Existing spreadsheet trackers connected to live ERP figures, refreshed automatically.

  • Drive document answers

    Policy and procedure documents searched and answered from a plain question.

  • Calendar-aware scheduling

    Bookings and follow-ups checked against real ERP capacity or order status.

  • Approval routing

    ERP approval requests routed by email or chat, actionable without switching apps.

  • Document drafting

    Draft quotes, letters or reports generated from ERP data directly in Docs or Sheets.

From a standalone app to one connected to your ERP

  1. Pick the starting app

    We identify which app, usually Gmail or Sheets, has the clearest gap to close first.

  2. Connect through Google APIs

    We build the connection using Google Workspace's supported APIs, under your domain's permissions.

  3. Connect to your ERP

    We link the same integration into your ERP's API or database for read and write access.

  4. Add the AI capability

    We build the extraction, drafting or lookup capability specific to the app and task.

  5. Test and roll out

    We test with real emails and sheets, then extend to more apps once it is proven.

Google Workspace AI integration questions

What does Google Workspace AI integration do?

It connects the Google Workspace apps your team already uses, such as Gmail, Sheets, Drive and Calendar, to your ERP, and adds AI capability inside them, such as extracting order details from an email or pulling live ERP figures into a Sheet.

Does this depend on Google's own AI features?

No, it is built independently using Google Workspace's own APIs to read and write data. The AI layer is model-agnostic, so it does not depend on one vendor's built-in assistant being enabled or available.

Which Google Workspace apps can be connected?

Gmail, Sheets, Drive and Calendar are the most common starting points, connected through Google's supported APIs. We assess your specific domain setup before proposing what is realistic.

Can it process incoming Gmail automatically?

Yes, with your approval. It can classify incoming emails, extract order or request details, and either draft a response or post the extracted data into your ERP, with uncertain cases flagged for a person.

Is our workspace data kept protected?

The integration runs under your organisation's existing Google Workspace permissions, so it only sees what the connected account is already authorised to access, and your admin retains full control to revoke access.

How long does a first integration take?

A first integration covering one app, such as Gmail or Sheets, usually takes five to seven weeks, depending on your domain configuration and the ERP connection involved.
