How to Set Up an "Insightly for G Suite" Account

Google has renamed G Suite to Google Workplace.

Insightly for G Suite accounts offer one feature that non-G Suite accounts do not: You can log in to Insightly directly from G Suite's app grid.

An Insightly for G Suite account is not required, but highly recommended, to link to files in Google Drive, or sync to Google Contacts and Calendar with a Google account.

If you do not create an Insightly for G Suite account, you will not have access to all the features available in the Sidebar.

A few things to note:

  • You must be a G Suite domain administrator to install Insightly for G Suite.
  • If you change your G Suite domain name later, this will disconnect it from Insightly, and neither Google nor Insightly support transferring your data to a new Insightly account.
  • Insightly does not support multiple domains or sub-domains for the G Suite connection.
  • If either of these last two items concern you, please register for a standard Insightly account through our pricing page.

To create an Insightly for G Suite account:

  1. Go to the Insightly listing in the G Suite Marketplace.
  2. Click Install and follow Google's steps to confirm the installation.

  4. Select the API reference settings and check the Enable API access box on the right.
