Why teams connect Gmail and Servicemax

Sync the people, users, and work records in Servicemax with the calls, messages, and events in Gmail, in real time and in both directions.

Servicemax holds the records a team works from: the contacts, the tickets or tasks, the users, and the history attached to each. Gmail moves the actual communication, whether that is a call, a text, an email, or a meeting, and every one of those is tied to a person and often to a user on your side. When the two are connected only by manual entry or a nightly export, the communication happens in one system while the record it belongs to sits in another, so people rebuild context by hand and reach out from contact lists that are already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Products in Servicemax with Attachments, History, Messages, Threads in Gmail bi-directionally and in real time. Contacts and users maintained in Servicemax feed Gmail so outbound dialing, messaging, and invites reach current numbers and addresses, and the calls, messages, and meeting events Gmail produces attach to the matching record in Servicemax within seconds. Everything is mapped field by field, with conflict resolution in place of copy-paste, and there is no middleware to build, no rate limits to babysit, and no batch job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared people, users, and activity are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Installed Products (SVMXC__Installed_Product__c) aligned with an asset or IoT database for warranty, entitlement, and service-history reporting.
  • 02 Consolidate Service Contracts and entitlement data into a warehouse for renewal forecasting and SLA compliance dashboards.
  • 03 Log sent and received Messages onto CRM contact and deal timelines automatically so reps never copy-paste email history.
  • 04 Create Drafts in a rep's mailbox from CRM templates and sequences, keeping sends authentic to the sender's address and signature.

Common sync patterns

One contact master

A person's number, email, or contact preferences corrected in either system update the other, so the record and the channel that reaches them stay in agreement.

Where Gmail places calls or sends messages: activity on the record

Calls, texts, emails, or meeting events from Gmail attach to the matching contact, ticket, or item in Servicemax, so the full history lives with the record instead of in a separate log.

One user and agent roster

Users kept in Servicemax map to accounts, seats, or extensions in Gmail, so the same people exist on both sides and ownership stays meaningful across the two systems.

What you can sync between Gmail and Servicemax

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Gmail objects Servicemax objects How this pairing syncs
History The incremental change log keyed by historyId; used for efficient delta sync so only mailbox changes since the last cursor are fetched. Products Standard Salesforce Product2; catalog of serviceable products and spare parts referenced by Installed Products and Work Details. History is specific to Gmail and Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages Individual emails with headers, body, and label state; read out to a CRM or warehouse for activity logging, and sent or modified two-way from sales tools. Work Orders SVMXC__Service_Order__c; the core field-service job record for install, repair, and maintenance; synced two-way with databases and pushed to ERPs at close. Messages is specific to Gmail and Work Orders to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Threads Conversation groupings that keep replies together; synced so a CRM timeline or support desk shows the full exchange, not isolated messages. Work Details SVMXC__Service_Order_Line__c; line items on a Work Order for labor, parts used, and expenses; read out for billing or written back with usage. Threads is specific to Gmail and Work Details to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels User and system labels (INBOX, SENT, custom); applied and removed via sync to mirror pipeline stages or triage states from an external system. Installed Products SVMXC__Installed_Product__c; the installed-base asset record driving entitlement and service history; synced with asset and IoT databases. Labels is specific to Gmail and Installed Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Drafts Unsent messages; created and updated from templates or sequence tools so reps review before sending from their own mailbox. Service Contracts SVMXC__Service_Contract__c; coverage and entitlement agreements; synced to warehouses for renewal, SLA, and warranty reporting. Drafts is specific to Gmail and Service Contracts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File payloads referenced by message part; read out to storage or a document system for archival and compliance workflows. Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Attachments is specific to Gmail and Stock History to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gmail and Servicemax

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Gmail Servicemax Sub-second propagation

DetectionGmail notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental sync via users.history.list from a stored historyId cursor, plus real-time push notifications through Google Cloud Pub/Sub watch on the.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Servicemax through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Servicemax Gmail Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Gmail through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gmail: Quota is measured in units per user per second (e.g. messages.list = 5 units, messages.send = 100 units) against a 250 quota-unit/user/second limit and a daily project cap; exceeding limits returns 429 with exponential backoff expected.
  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.

How the Gmail and Servicemax connectors work

Gmail

Gmail API (REST, v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via Google — user-authorized consent with granular scopes (gmail.readonly, gmail.modify, gmail.send, gmail.labels); restricted scopes require Google's app verification for production use
Change detection
Incremental sync via users.history.list from a stored historyId cursor, plus real-time push notifications through Google Cloud Pub/Sub watch on the mailbox (watch must be renewed at least every 7 days)

Servicemax
