USED IN PRODUCTION APPS






HIGH LEVEL API, NO DOM HACKING

Using the InboxSDK means no more lost time hacking Gmail's DOM.

No more finding intricate selectors to insert your own UI. No more testing every
configuration of Gmail to make sure everything still works. No more guessing how
the compose area will appear. No more late nights when Gmail slightly changes
their DOM.
‍
Instead, with InboxSDK, you interact with simple high level classes like
ComposeView. You call straightforward methods (like adding buttons or getting
the subject) on the class and the SDK abstracts the entire DOM away from you.

100's of Millions of Users

Gmail is the standard communication platform for hundreds of millions of people.
Plus, with millions of paid
Google Apps users, applications built on the InboxSDK reach users with a

thriving app ecosystem. Now, with the InboxSDK, you have an easy path to
engaging hundreds of millions of users who are loyal to Gmail.

InboxSDK enables you to create applications that will be an integral part of

and Inbox.

   littered in their Gmail

 * The InboxSDK provides consistent UI elements such as buttons, dropdowns,
   lists, text fields, checkboxes and modals

Build Internal Tools for your Company

Your company is a snowflake with unique
internal processes and workflows. No matter
how you Get Things Done, those workflows
all go through email.

The InboxSDK enables you to build apps inside Gmail that can be deployed to just
your domain or organization and are custom to your own needs.

Performant By Default

Gmail and Inbox are highly complex single page web apps. Typical browser
extensions slow down these apps if they aren't carefully made. The InboxSDK was
designed to be performant while supporting multiple applications.

See the documentation on tips for keeping your apps fast and lean (the key to
keeping your users happy and your app installed).


HAPPY DEVELOPERS.



Creating an extension inside of Gmail solved a significant pain for our users.
Enabling Docsend functionality inside of Gmail made the user experience easier.
Simply by being more available to our users, we increased average user
engagement by 13% in the first week.

Dave Koslow, Co-Founder Docsend

Making it extensible was one thing I always thought was missing from Gmail. It
would be insane for app developers not to take advantage of this huge platform.
