Modern setup uses Gmail Integration and Sync, not Lightning for Gmail. The migration is mostly a documentation refresh.
- Audit internal documentation
Search internal admin docs, training material, and onboarding guides for Lightning for Gmail references. Replace with Gmail Integration.
- Confirm the current Setup node
Open Setup, Quick Find, Gmail Integration and Sync. The page is the modern equivalent regardless of the legacy name.
- Verify EAC is the active sync engine
Most orgs running Lightning for Gmail historically have been migrated to Einstein Activity Capture. Confirm under Setup, Einstein Activity Capture.
- Update user-facing communication
Train new hires using Gmail Integration as the canonical term. Older training videos referencing Lightning for Gmail still apply, but new content should use modern naming.
- Watch the Salesforce Inbox license
Productivity features (send-later, tracking) require Inbox licensing. Without it, only the basic Log Email workflow is available.
- Lightning for Gmail is just an older name for the current Gmail Integration. There is no separate product to install.
- Documentation older than 2020 may use Lightning for Gmail. Treat the references as synonyms for the modern product.
- Inbox productivity features require separate licensing. The basic Gmail Integration ships with Sales Cloud; Inbox is an add-on.
- Lightning Experience is required. Classic-only orgs cannot enable the integration.
