Gmail is one of the most powerful integrations in Atmet. By connecting your Google account, you give your AI agents the ability to monitor your inbox for specific messages, send and draft emails on your behalf, organize threads with labels, and handle the full lifecycle of email communication — all without manual intervention. Whether you’re triaging customer support requests, following up on unpaid invoices, or routing leads from a contact form, the Gmail integration puts your inbox on autopilot.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting Gmail, make sure you have:
  • A Google account with Gmail enabled
  • The ability to grant third-party OAuth access (some Google Workspace administrators restrict this — check with your IT team if the authorization screen doesn’t appear)
  • For label-based triggers: at least one label already created in Gmail

​
Connecting Gmail

1

Open Integrations

In the Atmet sidebar, navigate to Integrations and find Gmail in the list.
2

Click Connect

Click the Connect button on the Gmail card. A Google authorization window will open.
3

Choose your Google account

Select the Google account you want to connect. If you manage multiple inboxes, repeat this process to add each one as a separate connection.
4

Grant permissions

Review the requested Gmail permissions and click Allow. Atmet requests only the scopes needed to support the triggers and actions listed below.
5

Confirm the connection

You’ll be redirected back to Atmet. A green Connected badge confirms that your Gmail account is ready to use in workflows.
You can connect multiple Gmail accounts to the same Atmet workspace. Each account appears as a separate connection you can assign independently to different workflows.

​
Triggers

Triggers tell Atmet when to start a workflow. Gmail supports two triggers.
Fires whenever a new message arrives in your Gmail inbox. You can narrow the trigger with the following filters:Use this trigger when you want to react to inbound emails — customer inquiries, form submission notifications, invoice receipts, and similar.
Fires whenever the authenticated user sends a message from Gmail. This trigger does not require additional filters.Use this trigger when you want to log outbound communications, start a follow-up sequence after a sales email, or update a CRM record when a reply is sent.

​
Actions

Actions are steps your workflow executes inside Gmail. The Gmail integration provides a comprehensive set of actions covering every stage of the email lifecycle.

​
Workflow ideas

Customer support triage

Trigger on new messages with a support@ label. Use an AI step to classify urgency, then apply a priority label and assign the thread to the right team member in your project management tool.

Invoice processing

Trigger on emails matching from:billing has:attachment. Extract invoice data with an AI parser, create a row in Google Sheets, and send a confirmation reply to the sender.

Lead follow-up sequence

Trigger on the message sent event when an email goes to a new prospect. Wait 3 days, check if a reply exists, and if not, draft a polite follow-up and send it automatically.

Email-to-Notion inbox

Trigger on new messages tagged with a specific label. Parse the subject and body, then create a new Notion page in your task database so important emails never get lost.

​
Limitations and notes

Gmail’s API imposes daily quota limits on read and send operations. High-volume workflows (thousands of emails per day) may hit these limits. Monitor usage in the Google Cloud Console if you run large-scale automations.
The polling interval on the new message trigger affects how quickly Atmet detects incoming emails. Shorter intervals consume more API quota. For most use cases, a 5-minute interval is a good balance between responsiveness and quota usage.
Use Gmail’s powerful query syntax in the query filter — operators like from:, to:, subject:, has:attachment, after:, and label: let you target exactly the messages that should start your workflow, reducing noise.
