Hey, is it possible to build a gmail add-on that can add information fetched from my webapp and place it next to the name of the email sender? The add-on will use the sender's email address and an API key to log into my web app and fetch the data. So anytime when the sender sends an email to someone who has the Add-on installed the receiver can see the information next to the sender's name. Is this possible?

Yes - this is a common use case. You can read more about contextual triggers developers.google.com/apps-script/add-ons/gmail/extending-message-ui#:~:text=user's%20UI%20interactions.-,Contextual%20triggers,trigger%20criteria*%20the%20trigger%20fires.
