I want to be able to access customer order information from within gmail. For example if a customer emailed me asking about the status of an order I would like to be able to view and/or copy paste their address without having to change tabs and searching shopify to find it.

I cant seem to find an app or chrome extension that will do this.

Anyone have any experience with this? I note that there are two chrome extensions (Storeye and Oklox) that claim to have this functionality but both are apparently defunct.

I was hopeful that building something in ply.io would work but it seems to require google workspace which I was hoping to avoid.

Any input appreciated.

You probably look for a more complete integration, but I’ll just mention you could probably set up a workflow to send yourself an internal email with all of the order information, similar to:
