This morning, Google introduced a new feature to Google Docs and Sheets that allows 3rd party apps to better integrate their services into Google’s office suite. Called Android Add-ons, you will now be able to trigger a DocuSign action from within Docs, import CRM data from ProsperWorks, and even easily scan documents with a combination of Scanbot and Docs or Sheets.
Those are just a few examples of the types of actions you could complete with this add-ons integration. And of course, I would imagine there will be more and more over time.
To explore the current add-ons, head over to this Google Play link. To read more about each individual integration, hit up the source link below.
Maybe now someone will build an instant message chat that works right within the Google Docs app on Android so viewers don’t have to be connected on Hangouts or some other chat service and leave the document to instant message collaborators. I wish Google would just add Android support for the Google Docs chatbox that is already available if on a computer.
