Numici – Google Integration

Gmail Integration

Numici is the only complete solution in the market that addresses the full lifecycle of research required for impactful content creation. Gmail is the most widely used email platform in the world. Numici integration with Gmail makes it easy to share your research notes with your team members, partners, and customers.

Many Numici users work in teams and also collaborate on their research with customers and partners. The notes created by users in Numici, either standalone notes or notes attached to web pages and documents or content within those, are stored in the Numici repository. Numici allows users to share their notes – a single note, all the notes in a document or web page, or a digest of notes from all the documents in a Taskspace – using a variety of methods including email. Without the GMail integration, when the user shares their notes with others using email, Numici server sends the email using a common email address “no-reply@numici.com” vs sending it on behalf of the user using the user’s own email account. Email sent from a generic address create several challenges for the user:

• The recipient may not see the email from the user because it may end up in their spam folder or the user may be reluctant to open emails from an unknown sender, both of which can have an adverse business impact on the user.
• The recipients are unable to reply to the notes shared from a generic email address and this may again have a negative impact on the communication between the user and their customers, partners, or team members.

These problems are solved by enabling Numici to share research notes in Numici using GMail integration. Users can send the email immediately or save it as a draft to be sent later.

The user must do a one-time setup to grant permissions to Numici to send emails on their behalf from their Gmail account and to save/manage drafts. This video shows the steps to be followed.

User data in Google

User data from Google is used by Numici only for the purposes of sharing their research notes using their Gmail account as described above.
