Blocks

The panel in Mailmeteor lets you add blocks, small piece of information powered by your own API endpoints. This makes it possible to display any data alongside your emails: CRM records, invoices, support tickets, or anything your backend exposes.

Add a custom section

1. Open the Mailmeteor Chrome extension in Gmail. The panel appears on the right side of the screen. If it doesn’t appear, click the Mailmeteor icon in the side panel.

2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) at the top right of the panel, then select Manage sections.

   

3. Click button + Add custom section at the bottom of the list.

   

4. In the modal that appears, enter your endpoint URL (e.g. https://api.example.com/customer-info).

5. Check the Preview area below the URL field. If your endpoint is reachable and returns valid data, a preview of the section will appear.

   

6. Click Create section. The section now appears in your panel.
