Connectors

Gmail

Let AI employees search and read your email, and propose sending or organising it.

Connect your Gmail and AI employees can work with your own mailbox. Because email is private, they can use it only while you have turned on Read and use my email.

Connect Gmail and turn it on

Open Connectors in the sidebar and choose Connect on Gmail.
Choose Continue to authorization and sign in with your Google account in the new window.
On your Gmail card, turn on Read and use my email. Read the warning, then choose Turn on.

Anyone who can see a task sees the email that was read and quoted in it. Turning the switch off takes effect at once, but does not remove what is already in tasks.

Use Gmail in a task

Type @ in the box and choose Gmail under Services. The message then shows @Gmail, and the AI employee can search and read your email, threads, drafts, labels and attachments.

It can also propose changes: send, reply to and forward email, write and send drafts, label and archive email, mark it read or unread, star it, create, rename and delete labels, and move email to Trash or back. Each change waits on a card in the task until you choose Confirm, unless Auto mode is on.

WorkPier never deletes email for good: a delete moves it to Trash, and the card says how long you can move it back. A deleted label is gone for good, but its messages stay.

Permissions

On your Gmail card in Connectors, choose Permissions to switch any of these off: Read email, Draft and organise, Send email and Delete email.
