Linking your Gmail (or Google Workspace) mailbox lets the platform send your outreach emails from your own address and receive replies so they are automatically sorted into your inbox.
Steps
- Open Settings > Channels > Email in the app.
- Click Connect Gmail. A Google window opens.
- Choose the account to connect, then accept the requested permissions (reading and sending emails). These accesses are required to send your sequences and track replies.
- Back in the app, the connected address appears with the Active status.
Check that everything works
- Send a test email from the app to another address you own.
- Check that it arrives properly (and not in spam) and that the reply shows up in the platform's inbox.
Things to watch out for
- Prefer an address dedicated to outreach rather than your primary address, to protect your domain's reputation.
- If the connection drops after a few days, reconnect the account from Settings > Channels. This can happen if Google access is still in its validation phase.
- To maximize deliverability, set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on your domain. See the guide Deliverability best practices.
