Question 1

What is Gmail for Business?

Accepted Answer

Gmail for Business is ServiceFlow Pro's integrated email experience. It brings your Gmail inbox into one place with your customers, jobs, and estimates—with AI-powered responses, bulk campaigns, and analytics so you can respond faster and close more deals.

Question 2

How does Gmail for Business help service-based industries?

Accepted Answer

Service companies (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, etc.) get a unified inbox, AI reply suggestions, automatic linking of emails to customers and jobs, price book insertion in emails, and the ability to create estimates and jobs from threads. That reduces back-and-forth and keeps everything in one system.

Question 3

Do I need a separate Gmail account?

Accepted Answer

You use your existing Google Workspace or Gmail account. Connect it once in ServiceFlow Pro (Settings → Integrations). After that, you access and send mail from the Gmail portal without leaving the app.

Question 4

Is my email data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use Google's OAuth and only access the scopes you approve. Emails are processed in line with our privacy policy and security practices. You can disconnect Gmail at any time from Integrations.

Question 5

Can I send bulk emails to customers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can run targeted email campaigns to segments of your customer base, track opens and clicks, and keep templates for common messages—all from the Gmail portal.

Question 6

How does AI response suggestion work?

Accepted Answer

When you open a thread, the system uses the conversation and linked customer/job data to suggest reply text. You can edit and send as-is or use it as a starting point. It’s designed to save time while keeping your tone and accuracy.

Question 7

How does this connect to ServiceFlow Pro?

Accepted Answer

Gmail for Business is part of ServiceFlow Pro. Your inbox is linked to the same customers, jobs, estimates, and price book. Create estimates or jobs from emails, insert price book items into replies, and keep full context without switching apps.

Question 8

Where do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Log in at the main ServiceFlow Pro portal, go to Settings → Integrations, and connect Gmail. Then open the Gmail portal from the same menu or use the direct link. You’ll see your inbox and can start using AI suggestions and customer linking right away.
