Connect Gmail to find and read email threads, bring messages onto a Canvas, and prepare drafts in your mailbox.

​
What the agent can do

Read
  • Search messages by sender, subject, date, label, or text.
  • Read email threads and browse labels.
  • Retrieve attachments through available email tools.
Act
  • Create drafts and draft replies.
  • Send a message to your own connected inbox with the built-in self-mail action.
  • Create and apply labels, remove labels, and archive messages.

​
Browse and drop

Browse labels and email threads in the Connectors rail, then drop a message or thread onto the Canvas.

​
Connect

1

Find the connector

Open Settings → Connectors and choose Gmail from the available catalog.
2

Authorize

Click Connect. Sign in with the Google account whose mailbox you want to use.
3

Check the connection

Confirm that it appears under Connected, then ask the agent to retrieve one item you can verify.

​
Things to try

  • “Find the Acme renewal thread and add it to this Canvas.”
  • “Draft a reply using the dates in the selected proposal.”
  • “Which threads from this week still need an answer?”
For messages to other people, asking for a draft gives you a review step in Gmail. Available outbound tools can differ by agent configuration; don’t assume a draft has been sent. See Connector access and troubleshooting if an item or action is unavailable.
