Using this Gmail add-on, you can quickly convert email messages from your clients into quotes and projects in your Protemos Enterprise account without manual copy-paste work. You can also create client profiles and contact persons based on email messages.

How to start using the add-on

1. You need to use Gmail as a browser mail client. So please add your mailbox to Gmail.

2. Once logged in, please press the “+” icon to the right of the message list area:

3. Search for the Protemos add-on:

4. Install it:

5. Now, once the add-on is installed, open an email message that you want to convert into a quote or project, and click the Protemos icon to the right:

6. The system will ask you to enter an API key. You can find it on your account page:

Note: an account owner is the only manager who has access to API key.

7. Enter the key and press Enter:

Once the API key is entered, you can start using the add-on.

Using project templates

When creating a project with the add-on, you can use a project template. To do it, click on the "Template" field and select the project template from the drop-down list:

::Note: Please do not use the templates with jobs with language pairs. The add-on data will be ignored.

By default, the system uses the template values, but the corresponding add-on values will override it. For example:

1. If the language pairs aren't defined when creating the project with the add-on, then the ones from the selected template will be applied.

1. If you define one or more language pairs and select a template with predefined language pairs, then the add-on will override values from the template. It also applies to "Client", "Contact person", and "Secondary manager" fields.

[new version] Note: If you specify one or more language pairs and select a template with predefined language pairs, then both the language pairs specified in the add-on and the ones from the template will be applied.
