Compose Action: Smart Compose feature on Gmail add-on

Don't miss out – New integrations in Gmail make it easy to insert content and actions

What’s new: Have you ever had to attach a Docs file, insert an image or copy information from another application in an email? Do you find these tasks take more time than necessary? If so, you're not the only one. Studies have shown that Employees must spend up to 8 hours per week searching for or synthesizing information and data from sources. Although "rummaging" through piles of folders to find a suitable attachment or going from project pages to the CRM system to copy-paste links into emails,... all these things even though they seem trivial trivial but takes up a lot of staff time and effort.

And from today, this will change with the Compose Action feature (the actions you perform when you have to compose an email) in Gmail add-ons. Compose Action helps you easily add attachments, references, or make the information you send more vivid. You can do these things using third-party add-ons right from the beginning of drafting Gmail.
