Accessible to Admin and Account Admin

Note: This is a one-way sync from Freshteam to G-suite and not the other way round. Changes made in Freshteam will reflect in G-suite and the vice versa is not possible. 

 

Freshteam gets a massive update with the all-new GSuite Integration that comes with a bunch of exciting and smart features to make managing employee directory easy across all of your GSuite Applications. The new integration will let you have real-time automated data synchronization from Freshteam to G-Suite. Whenever you add an employee or delete an employee or update the information to an existing employee profile in Freshteam, these changes will be reflected automatically in your GSuite user list. It will create a new user, delete the terminated employee's user profile, and similarly update the information to the employee's user profile.
