What you need first
- A Google Workspace or personal Gmail account.
- Permission for Stack to read and send mail for you. Google asks for it when you connect.
How to connect it
- 01Open Settings → IntegrationsIn the Stack app. Gmail is part of the Google Workspace card.
- 02Choose Connect on Google WorkspaceIn the window that opens, choose Connect Google Workspace.
- 03Sign in and approvePick the account to connect and approve the permissions Google lists. Google brings you back to Settings, and the account shows under Connected.
- 04Wait for the first syncYour 25 most recent emails appear in the inbox, and new mail arrives within a couple of minutes.
What it does not do yet
- Google Contacts aren’t synced yet.
- Each person connects their own mailbox; there’s no admin-wide connection. You can choose to share a mailbox with admins or the whole workspace.
- Snoozing an email stays in Stack; it isn’t written back to Gmail.
- Only the labels you made come across, not Gmail’s own system labels and categories.
More detail
Labels you add in Stack show in Gmail, and labels you add in Gmail show in Stack. You can connect more than one Gmail account and work them all from the same inbox.
Stack connects through Google’s own sign-in, so it never sees your password. Access tokens are kept in an encrypted vault, and images in emails load through Stack’s own server, so senders don’t see your IP address or device.
