Google Workspace
The Google Workspace integration enables users to connect their Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) accounts to Nextal. Once active, recruiters can send emails to candidates from their own Gmail address and manage interview events in their Google Calendar — all without leaving the platform.
What it does
- Enables users to link their personal Google Workspace mailbox for sending and logging emails.
- Enables users to connect their Google Calendar for interview scheduling and availability management.
- Acts as the organization-wide switch: once enabled here, each individual user connects their own account from their profile page.
Prerequisites
- A Google Workspace account for your organization.
- The Google Workspace integration and the Office 365 integration are mutually exclusive — you can only have one email/calendar provider active at a time. If Office 365 is already enabled, the Google Workspace toggle will be disabled until Office 365 is turned off.
How to activate
- Go to Administration → Integrations and find the Google Workspace card.
- Click Configure on the card: the integration panel opens on the right.
- If Office 365 is currently active, deactivate it first (the Google Workspace toggle will be grayed out until this is done).
- Turn on Enable Google Workspace and click Save.
- The integration is now active at the organization level. Each user must then go to their own profile page and authorize their individual Google account.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Google Workspace | Master switch. Turn it on (then Save) to make Google Workspace the email and calendar provider for the organization; turning it off asks for a confirmation first. |
Tips
- Switching providers requires each user to re-connect. If you move from Office 365 to Google Workspace (or vice versa), users will need to re-authorize their accounts from their profile page.
- Deactivating affects everyone immediately. If a user is in the middle of a workflow that relies on their Google Calendar, deactivating the integration will break that connection.
- Test with one user before rolling out. Have a single recruiter connect their account and verify that email sending and calendar creation work as expected before announcing the change.
