Effect of 'Send email via Gmail' on Zendesk Notifications

Find out if the 'Send email via Gmail' option affects all notifications in Zendesk and when it applies.

Does the 'Send email via Gmail' option affect all Zendesk notifications?

The 'Send email via Gmail' option only affects notifications if your support addresses are connected through the Gmail Connector. If none of your support addresses use this connector, notifications will continue to be sent via Zendesk mail servers.

This option is specifically designed for users who have integrated their Gmail accounts with Zendesk. If your setup doesn't include the Gmail Connector, enabling this option will have no impact on your notification process.
