# Integrate Zoho Inventory with Google Workspace

Integrating Zoho Inventory with your Google Workspace account combines the powerful accounting features of Zoho Inventory with Google’s storage (Gmail) and communication (Google Contacts) services. By signing in once, you can easily access Zoho Inventory while logged into your Google Workspace account.

**Note:** The integration follows Google’s [Limited Use requirements](https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy#additional_requirements_for_specific_api_scopes) to access and share information from Google APIs in a secure way, as permitted by Google.

## Benefits of the Integration

*   Import contacts from your Google Workspace account as Customers in Zoho Inventory, and create transactions for them.
*   Fetch emails of imported customers and view them in Zoho Inventory.
*   Associate emails and its attachments with the corresponding customers in Zoho Inventory.

**Prerequisite:**
