Nektar will only read Gmail messages, Google Calendar events and Google Meet meeting information (including transcripts) of users you select.

Sync

Nektar’s Google Workspace sync system reads Gmail messages, Google Calendar events and Google Meet meeting information for the users for whom this has been enabled.

  • Gmail messages and Google Calendar events are read every 10–15 minutes.
  • Google Meet meeting information and transcripts are read every 10–15 minutes.
    • Please note, when first enabled, Google Meet can read data only for the last 30 days.
  • The list of users on your workspace is read every 24 hours.

You must enable sync for individual Google users in the Users section.

The sync table displays:

  • the time the most recent message or event was synced
  • a sync health icon that can be clicked for more information
  • toggles to enable or disable sync globally

Sync health icons may indicate the following states:

Disabled Disabled Can be enabled on the same screen
Not started Not started Disabled globally, or pending approval
In progress In progress Actively syncing; some data is remaining
Completed Completed Everything synced; watching for new data
Delayed Delayed Sync has not run in the last 30 minutes
Stalled Stalled Stopped due to error or hasn’t run in 2 hours
