This article details what the Email Widget is and how to manage it.
What is the Email Widget?
The Email Widget provides an efficient way for users to access and manage their email inbox (Google Gmail or Microsoft Outlook) directly within a page. This widget eliminates the need for users to switch between multiple tabs or windows. By directly accessing their emails within the page, users can save time, increase productivity, and keep themselves informed.

How to manage the email widget
To manage the email widget:
- Navigate the page group where the widget resides
- Click the pencil icon at the top right of the page to open the page editor
- Hover your mouse over the widget until it is highlighted in blue, and click on it
- Select the settings (gear) icon at the top right of the widget
- A new window will open where you can adjust the widget's settings. You can switch between the Configure and Styles tabs to adjust what is displayed and how the content is displayed
Configure
Select the email service provider
You can choose to display emails from either Google Gmail or Microsoft Outlook. For example, if your organization uses Google Workspace or Gmail, select Google Gmail.
By default, the widget will display the inbox associated with the email address used to log in to Happeo.
Note: To view their emails in the email widget, you need to authorize the email service provider you use. If you have yet to authorize the email service provider, you can click the Authorise Gmail/Outlook button in the center of the widget.
Add a widget header
Add a header to the widget. Once toggled, you can type the widget’s header in the text field that appears above the widget.
Styles
- Background color – Select the background color of the section. The colors available to you will depend on what the system default is and the brand style you are using
- Padding – Adjust the amount of background visible behind the widget. You can set a value between 0px and 100px. A larger value will show more of the background, making the section header and content appear smaller. A smaller value will minimize the background visibility, making the widget appear larger. Adjust the slider to fine-tune the amount of padding
- Round corners – Round the corners of the widget between the values 0px and 100px. A larger value will make the widget corners appear rounder, whereas a lower value will make them appear sharper
