Project overview
2410 developed a dual-purpose solution to enable large-scale EML file imports into Google Groups while ensuring strict GDPR compliance.
The solution included a custom-built background automation tool for importing over 100,000 email files and a scalable SaaS interface that can be embedded into websites for broader use.
Two variants were implemented: a minimal, UI-free Google Workspace Add-on, and a user-friendly web application with onboarding flow, progress tracking, and controls. Files were handled exclusively within Google infrastructure, with no server-side storage or processing.
The client praised the solution as a perfect fit for their data import needs, noting reliable performance, full GDPR compliance, and seamless background operation.
They were particularly satisfied with the second solution’s flexibility and expressed interest in potential future use cases and add-ons.
