Big fan of Streak! Thanks for the suggestion.

You're right -- since these apps don't (yet) embed our SDK in to their site, we need to get the current state (eg current page, selected table, etc) from the Chrome Extension. But our goal is to provide entire entire extensibility platform in an embeddable JS snippet, so hopefully that won't be the case long.

Unfortuantely it might be difficult to convince Google to include your script inside their apps :)

Other than our InboxSDK, you could also look into building a gmail addon and having your users install that, but it would be another install in addition to your chrome extension.

Isn't Gmail enabling Google Apps Script-based add-ons soon (or already)?

Yes exactly what I was referencing. But users install them independently if your chrome extension.
