How do I install Aware for Gmail?

To begin scanning emails using Aware with Securly, you will need to change certain settings and configure an additional route in your Google Admin Console. Creating a new route would route all emails sent or received by students to Aware’s monitoring servers. Aware will then scan all these emails using Sentiment Analysis and send alerts to your Aware Dashboard. This document will walk you through the process of setting up the Aware for your school. 

Note that Org. unit or Security group configurations do not impact the scanning of emails or alerts by Aware. Org. unit and Security group configurations are considered only for Google Drive scanning. Emails will be scanned and alerted upon irrespective of whether any Org. units or Security groups are configured. 

Setup Steps:

  1. Sign up for Aware by navigating to https://www.securly.com/aware
  2. Log in to your Google Admin Console.
  3. From the left sidebar navigate to Apps > Google workspace > Gmail       Awaresetupnew.jpg
