FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Gmail with an AI agent to automate reading and sending emails?

Gmail integration connects your email account to an AI agent through MCP wiring and OAuth authorization, enabling automated email reading, sending, and replying directly from your assistant workflow.

What's the difference between using Gmail as a tool versus a full channel for email automation?

Tool mode lets the agent read and send emails only when triggered from WhatsApp, while Channel mode allows incoming emails to directly trigger the agent and receive automated replies.

How do I set up OAuth credentials for Gmail API access with an AI assistant?

OAuth setup involves creating a Google Cloud Project, generating OAuth credentials, and authorizing the agent to access your Gmail account securely through a guided configuration process.

Can I trigger an AI agent automatically when a new email arrives?

Yes, Channel mode enables incoming emails to trigger the agent automatically, supporting email polling and routing so emails can initiate workflows and receive automated replies.

What do I need to verify after connecting Gmail to my agent?

After completing OAuth authorization, verify Gmail connectivity by performing a basic test such as reading a recent email or sending a test message to confirm credential handling works.
