Connect Gmail or Google Workspace
Steps
- On Inboxes, add the inbox with your Gmail or Workspace address.
- Choose Connect. A Google sign-in page opens.
- Pick the Google account and allow access.
- You come back to Inbox Triage, and the first sync starts.
What Google is asked for
Connecting Gmail asks for one permission, gmail.modify. It covers reading your synced mail, drafts,
sending a draft you approved, labels, archive, star, spam, and moving mail to Trash. We do not ask for full access
to your account, so Inbox Triage cannot permanently delete mail.
The first sync
Gmail starts with the newest 40 messages in each folder, then fills in to about 300 over the next few syncs. This keeps us inside Google's limits.
What your AI can do in Gmail
- Read, search, archive, trash, and mark as spam, with undo.
- Star messages and apply your Gmail labels.
- Write drafts, and send them after you approve.
If you see a warning from Google
Google may show a screen that says it has not verified the app. See "Google hasn't verified this app". If you use a work account, your admin may need to allow Inbox Triage first.
Disconnecting
When you disconnect a Gmail inbox, we delete the stored sign-in and ask Google to remove Inbox Triage's access.
