On the other hand iOS doesn't really support the use of alternatives to the built-in Mail app. I was trying Google Inbox in a new iPad where I didn't configure the built-in Mail, but then I wanted to mail a link to a web page from Safari and I couldn't. It seems is not possible to tell iOS or Safari that I want my emails to be sent through Inbox :(

Sure you can – tap on the share button, then scroll to the Gmail icon and tap on it. A new email will be started in the Gmail application containing the page title and URL.

If you don't see the Gmail icon straight away, scroll to the end of the list, and tap on More… to add Gmail to the list.
