-# GitLab buttons in Gmail
-
-GitLab supports [Google actions in email](https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/actions/actions-overview).
-
-If correctly setup, emails that require an action will be marked in Gmail.
-
-![gitlab_actions](gitlab_actions.png)
-
-To get this functioning, you need to be registered with Google.
-[See how to register with Google in this document.](https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/registering-with-google)
-
-To aid the registering with Google, GitLab offers a rake task that will send an email to Google whitelisting email address from your GitLab server.
-
-To check what would be sent to the Google email address, run the rake task:
-
-```bash
-bundle exec rake gitlab:mail_google_schema_whitelisting RAILS_ENV=production
-```
-
-**This will not send the email but give you the output of how the mail will look.**
-
-Copy the output of the rake task to [Google email markup tester](https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-tester/u/0/) and press "Validate".
-
-If you receive "No errors detected" message from the tester you can send the email using:
-
-```bash
-bundle exec rake gitlab:mail_google_schema_whitelisting RAILS_ENV=production SEND=true
-```
