### **Google Pub/Sub Connector**

Our new Google Pub/Sub connector enables building data flows for any streaming or event-driven system easily at scale. Google Pub/Sub now becomes both a source and a destination for Nexla flows, similar to our integration with Kafka. Learn more about [Google Pub/Sub](http://cloud.google.com/pubsub?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_oc6I5ECmyVxLuGv85q5JuIqX-pI_QvO9ggouQ3R68gsI40JpcI-54p4lkUXeUxW1DtutQ).

### Enhanced Email Connector

Nexla’s Email source connector can now ingest emails in real-time from Gmail, making emails a first-class data source for your business processes. Leveraging our new Google Pub/Sub integration we are now able to treat incoming emails as streaming/real-time data. Check out the connector [in Nexla](https://dataops.nexla.io/sources/new?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_oc6I5ECmyVxLuGv85q5JuIqX-pI_QvO9ggouQ3R68gsI40JpcI-54p4lkUXeUxW1DtutQ).
