SSO is available on Enterprise plans, with your domains enabled by the Blinq team. Read How SAML SSO works first — it covers registering your domains, which has to happen before the SAML settings will open.
Google Workspace has no Blinq app in its catalogue, so you create a custom SAML app. Blinq needs no attribute mappings.
After email signatures instead? That’s a separate integration — see Google Workspace email signature sync. You can set up either one without the other.

Create the SAML app

1

Open web and mobile apps

Go to admin.google.com and open Apps → Web and mobile apps.
2

Add a custom SAML app

Select Add app → Add custom SAML app, give it a name and description, then Continue.
3

Copy Google's details

On the Google identity provider details screen, take the SSO URL, Entity ID and Certificate. Keep this tab open.

Send Google’s details to Blinq

In the Blinq dashboard, go to Settings → SAML. Select Save.

Send Blinq’s details to Google

1

Copy Blinq's service provider details

From the same SAML settings, copy the ACS URL and the Service provider entity ID.
2

Paste them into Google

Back in Google, select Continue, then paste them into ACS URL and Entity ID.
3

Set the name ID format

Set Name ID format to EMAIL.
4

Skip attribute mapping

Blinq needs no attribute mappings. Select Finish.

Turn the app on

Open the User access section of your new app and turn the service ON for everyone, or for the organisational units that should have Blinq. Save.
Google can take a few minutes to apply an access change before a test sign-in will work.

Test before you enforce

Use Test SAML login in the Google app, signing in with an address on the domain you registered with Blinq. If it fails, Google’s SAML error messages name the field to correct. Once a test sign-in works, switch on Enforce SSO for all users at the bottom of the Blinq SAML settings and save.
Don’t sign out of Blinq until a test sign-in has succeeded in another window. If enforcement is on and the configuration is wrong, only Blinq support can switch it back off.
