There’s one simple feature I want. Any API that has access to any portion of an email’s content should have their icon prominently displayed near the header in the field similar to ‘Bcc’ indicating that they have been sent a copy.
A click on that icon should display a popup which explains who it is, a link to the privacy policy, date when the Integration was enabled, count of how many emails it has seen, and provides an option to disable the integration with a single click. It would be nice to have the ability to apply filters to limit which emails are shared with that provider in the future.
It’s too easy for users to add an Integration at one point and forget months or years later that it’s active. But also mentally when people add these add-ons it often doesn’t really click exactly that you are literally Bcc’ing the add-on every message you send.
There is precedence for this kind of UX change and Google. It used to be that chrome extensions could optionally add icons to the Chrome menu (the icons to the right of the address bar). Now all Chrome extensions appear in the Chrome menu, both reminding the user that it is there and also giving an easy way to remove the extension should they no longer need it.
