Please help me install this Agent Skill. Skill: gmail-trigger Source: https://github.com/vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/tree/main/skills/gmail-trigger Command: npx skills add https://github.com/vellum-ai/vellum-assistant --skill gmail-trigger
Manually checking Gmail for important messages is constant context-switching, and naive inbox watchers waste tokens on empty polls. This Skill monitors one or more Gmail accounts on a cron schedule and only wakes the assistant when new mail actually arrives, applying your standing instruction (urgent-only pings, newsletter digests, invoice forwarding) automatically.
Ask the assistant to set up Gmail Triggers to watch your inbox and notify you only when urgent email arrives.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Install this trigger with an action prompt like "notify me only about emails needing a reply". A scheduled poll script checks for new mail and wakes the assistant with a digest only when messages arrive, applying your instruction.
Pass one --account flag per email address when creating the schedule. A single poll script watches all chosen inboxes, keeps independent per-mailbox state in SQLite, and delivers one combined digest.
No. The poll script calls Gmail through the assistant oauth request command, which resolves managed or your-own OAuth connections automatically. No raw access token ever touches the script.
Most failures are expired Google authorization, shown as HTTP 401 or 403 errors in the schedule run. Run assistant oauth ping google to refresh the token, or reconnect Google via the vellum-oauth-integrations skill.
No. Each account's historyId watermark and reported-message ledger commit to SQLite before the digest is escalated, so retried or restarted runs never deliver the same message twice.
