Overview

Canny's Google Workspace integration lets you import groups of users from Google Workspace so you and your teammates can track and manage feedback. This integration is available on the Business plan. To discuss a Business plan subscription, just start a chat or email us at sales@canny.io!

You can also use Google Workspace to limit board access on a custom access board. This aspect only requires the Pro plan.

Benefits

  • Secure your boards

  • Track feedback on behalf of members of your organization

  • Automatically revoke access for offboarded employees


How to set up Google Workspace

Before you begin

  • Owner-level admin permissions in Canny are required to connect the integration

  • You will also need to be an admin in Google Workspace to grant permissions

Connecting the integration

  1. To get started, go to the Google Workspace page in your Settings and use the Connect with Google Workspace button:

  2. You will be prompted to confirm your Google login and grant permssions to Canny

  3. After connecting your Google account, you have access to select which groups you’d like to import:

    Canny will immediately begin importing users. We'll also re-import every week, when new members join your team. You can also trigger an import manually!


Revoke access from offboarded employees

You can also choose to revoke access from people once they leave your company. Google Workspace will automatically notify Canny when a user account is deleted, and Canny will revoke permissions accordingly.


Things to note:

  • Google Workspace is only available on the Business plan. To discuss a Business plan subscription, just start a chat or email us at sales@canny.io!

  • You can also use Google Workspace to limit board access on a custom access board. This aspect only requires the Pro plan.

  • This is not related to Google’s ability to index your public boards. You can set that aspect up from the Boards tab in your Canny settings in the “Privacy” section
