Enable or Disable Synchronization for a Group in Gmail Integration

When you create a group of users, you can enable or disable synchronization for the entire group in Gmail Integration at the same time. This allows you to quickly start or stop data sharing between the applications for the users in the group.

Prerequisites:
  • To use Vantagepoint Connect in your Gmail account, you must have a Google Workspace account (formally G Suite). You cannot use a personal .gmail.com email with Vantagepoint Connect.
  • You must use Chrome with Vantagepoint Connect for Gmail.
  • To use Connect, the Vantagepoint application must be exposed to the internet via a publicly facing URL. If your network or firewall is configured to only allow certain IP addresses to access Vantagepoint, you must add Connect IP addresses to the Allow list. For a list of IP addresses, see the Troubleshoot Synchronization and Connect Add-in Issues for Gmail or Troubleshoot Synchronization and Connect Add-in Issues for Outlook help topics.
  • The security role for the individual who is responsible for configuring Connect must have access to Connect Administration. In Settings > Security > Roles, on the Overview tab, make sure that Connect Administration is selected under Utilities > Integrations.
  • The individual who is responsible for configuring Connect (selecting the Connect Administration option in Utilities > Integrations) must have an employee record associated with their user record in Settings > Security > Users. The employee record must also have a valid email address.
  • Each employee who will use Connect must have an employee record that includes an email address and that is associated with a user record in Settings > Security > Users.
  • You must have a Client ID and Secret in API Authorization in Utilities > Integrations that is specific to Connect. You only need to generate the secret one time for each integration.
  • Windows authentication for the on-premises application requires the use of Vantagepoint OAuth with Vantagepoint Connect.
  • Groups must be created on the Groups tab. See the Create a Group help topic for more information.

To enable or disable synchronization for a group:

  1. In the Vantagepoint Navigation pane, select Utilities > Integrations > Connect Administration.

    You can use the filter to locate a group in the grid.
