Integration With Google

I am already using Capsule, how do I link with my Google Apps domain?

To enable this integration, contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with the following information:

  • your Google Apps domain (e.g. yourcompany.com)

How do I link my Gmail messages with my contacts?

If you installed Capsule from your Google Apps domain you will automatically have access to the Capsule gadget that appears at the bottom of each message in Gmail.
