Features
The Gmail for Work connector features are:
-
Content indexing
-
The connector can retrieve and index exclusively the following Gmail types of items:
-
Emails
-
Attachments
-
-
Mostly supported security model
-
The connector mostly supports the Gmail security model by associating each item with a primary email and its aliases. This means that, in Coveo search interfaces, a user searching Gmail content only sees the content of his mailbox.
Note: In some cases, a user can have access to other users mailbox, but the Gmail delegation feature is not yet supported.
-
Incremental refresh
-
Supports incremental refresh to periodically query Gmail for the latest changes on messages (addition, deletion, edition, label change), keeping the index content up-to-date.
Note: A source full refresh or rebuild is needed to capture domain, primary email and email aliases changes.
-
Multithreading
-
The connector can run multiple threads, which can improve performances considerably (see Modifying Hidden Gmail for Work Source Parameters).
-
Pause/Resume
-
When indexing Gmail for Work content, the connector can be paused and resumed.
