# Use the Dialpad Gmail Add-On

Gmail was built on the idea that email can be more intuitive, efficient, and useful. And now with the [Dialpad Gmail Add-on](https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/dialpad/1027370902578), teams can combine the power of Gmail with their business communication platform to drive better connections in and outside their organization.

To get started, simply download the [Dialpad Gmail Add-On from the G Suite Marketplace](https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/dialpad/1027370902578).

Note:If you are the Google Admin, you may find the installation button is greyed out. Currently, Gmail is [working on a solution to support domain-wide installations](https://support.google.com/a/answer/6166309?hl=en) but has not shared an expected timeline for this. 

## Display Contact Info

After downloading the add-on, try launching it on a recent email thread to populate all the contacts currently saved in Dialpad as well as new contact numbers included in your email thread.
