Gmail
Pull threads, messages, and labels from a connected Gmail mailbox so you can triage email inside Atlas.
What this connector does
- Pull individual mailbox threads, messages, and labels for the connected user.
- Convert any thread into an Atlas task with the original email preserved as context.
- Sync read state and starred state back to Gmail so the mailbox stays in sync.
- Be told about new messages through Google push notifications, so triage runs in near real time.
Before you begin
- You are an owner or administrator of your Atlas workspace.
- You can sign in to your Gmail account and approve access for Atlas.
- Atlas looks after the Gmail app on its side, so there is nothing for you to create or copy.
How to connect
Open Gmail in Integrations
In Atlas, open Integrations and select Gmail.
Press Connect
Atlas sends you to Gmail to sign in. Sign in with the account you want to connect.
Approve access
Review the permissions that Gmail lists and approve them. Atlas returns you to the connector page, which then shows the connection.
Check the connection
Select Test connection on the connector page. A passing result means Atlas can read from Gmail.

Troubleshooting
Connect says Gmail is not available yet
Atlas has not enabled Gmail for this deployment, so there is nothing for you to configure. Check again later.
The sign-in was cancelled
If you close the Gmail screen or choose Cancel, Atlas does not connect. Press Connect again and approve the access.
Atlas asks you to reconnect
Gmail can end a connection when access is revoked or a password changes. Press Reconnect on the connector page and approve the access again.
Event notifications
Gmail sends Atlas a push notification through Google Pub/Sub when the mailbox changes. Atlas verifies each notification and then reads the changed messages. If a notification is late, Atlas recovers the missed changes from the mailbox history.
Events Atlas listens for
- New message in INBOX
- Label added or removed
- Message marked read or starred
Disconnect and data deletion
- Click Disconnect on the Atlas Gmail connector page to revoke the saved sign-in.
- Open https://myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove the Atlas app for the connected account.
- Atlas deletes the locally cached thread metadata for that user within 24 hours of disconnect.
When you are ready, open the live connector page and press Connect to finish connecting Gmail.
