# Google Workspace integration

> Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Meet to Cobalt to send emails, sync your calendar, and enable automatic meeting transcription.

## Capabilities unlocked

* **Send and receive emails from inside Cobalt** — your emails go out from your Gmail address, and replies land directly on the candidate's Cobalt profile.
* **Google Calendar sync** — calendar events appear inside Cobalt so your pipeline always reflects your real schedule.
* **Automatic Balt bot join** — when a Google Meet link is detected on a calendar event, Balt joins the call automatically to transcribe it.
* **Meeting transcription via Google Meet** — transcripts and summaries are attached to the relevant candidate or contact record.

To learn more about transcription, see [Meeting transcription](/en/fonctionnalites/transcription).

## Good to know

* Each team member must connect their own account individually. Emails are sent from each person's own email address.
* Meeting transcription requires calendar sync to be active: without it, Balt cannot join video calls automatically.
