Google Integration

Connect Google services to manage email and calendars, track leads, and attribute booked revenue.

What you can do

The Google integration provides these capabilities:

• Send Email - Send quotes directly from your Gmail account (all plans)
• Read Email (Plus/Pro) - Sync email activity from your contacts
• Lead Detection (Beta, all plans) - Find quote requests in your inbox and build quotes from them
• Calendar Sync (Plus/Pro) - Automatically sync bookings to Google Calendar
• Analytics Tracking (Pro) - Track form conversions with GA4 or Google Tag Manager
• Google Ads Booking Conversions (Scale) - Send booked revenue to GA4 for Google Ads attribution

Getting started

What happens when you connect

Flashquotes checks Gmail and Google Calendar access as soon as you finish signing in:

• All permissions work - The account connects and a “Google account connected” message appears.
• The account has no Gmail - If your email is hosted with another provider, like GoDaddy or Outlook, the account still connects for any service that works, such as Calendar Sync. It shows a No Gmail badge and can’t send or sync email. Quotes send from Flashquotes instead.
• Some permissions weren’t granted - The account connects, but the services you didn’t allow won’t work until you reconnect and choose “Select all.”
• None of the permissions work - Flashquotes doesn’t connect the account. Try again and choose “Select all” on Google’s permission screen, or use a different Google account.

Service status icons

In Settings > Integrations, each connected Google account shows an icon for Send Email, Email Sync, and Calendar Sync. Hover over an icon to see its status:

• No dot - The service is working.
• Red dot - The service stopped working. Reconnect the account to fix it.
• Amber dot - The account doesn’t have Gmail, or you didn’t grant that permission. Reconnect and choose “Select all” on Google’s screen.

Feature details

Analytics tracking (Pro)

Track form conversions with Google Analytics 4 or Google Tag Manager to measure your marketing effectiveness.

Best practices

1. Use a business Google Workspace account - More reliable than personal Gmail for business use
2. Connect one primary account - Use your main business email as default
3. Keep permissions current - Reconnect promptly if you see disconnection warnings

Upgrading to Plus

Full Gmail integration and Google Calendar sync require Flashquotes Plus or Pro. Learn more about Flashquotes Plus

Troubleshooting

Google account disconnected

• Reconnect your account in Settings > Integrations
• You may need to re-grant permissions
• Calendar events and email syncing will resume after reconnection

Account shows a “No Gmail” badge

• Your email is hosted with another provider, like GoDaddy or Outlook, so this Google account has no Gmail inbox
• The account can’t send or sync email. Quotes send from Flashquotes instead.
• Connect a Google account that uses Gmail to send from your own address

”We didn’t connect this Google account”

• None of the permissions you granted work for this account
• Reconnect and choose “Select all” on Google’s permission screen
• If the account has no Gmail or Google Calendar, connect a different Google account

Service icon shows a red or amber dot

• Red: The service stopped working. Reconnect the account.
• Amber: The account has no Gmail, or the permission wasn’t granted. Reconnect and choose “Select all.”
