Connect Gmail to your Chipp AI so it can search your inbox, read emails, compose new messages, reply to threads, and manage your mailbox — all through natural conversation.

What the AI Can Do

Once connected, your agent gains seven tools for full inbox management:

Tool	Description
gmail_list_emails	Search and list emails with Gmail query syntax
gmail_read_email	Read the full content of a specific email
gmail_send_email	Compose and send a new email (with optional attachments)
gmail_reply_to_email	Reply to an email thread with correct headers
gmail_unsubscribe	Automatically unsubscribe from mailing lists and newsletters
gmail_trash_email	Move an email to the trash
gmail_modify_labels	Mark as read/unread, star, archive, or apply labels

Search Capabilities

The list tool supports Gmail’s full search syntax:

from:alice@example.com — emails from a specific sender
is:unread — unread emails only
subject:invoice — emails with a specific subject
newer_than:2d — emails from the last 2 days
has:attachment — emails with attachments
label:INBOX — emails in a specific label

Connecting Gmail

1

Open the Integrations tab

In your app’s builder, navigate to the Build section and select the Integrations tab. Find Gmail in the list of available integrations.

2

Click Connect

Click the Connect button next to Gmail. A Google OAuth popup will appear.

3

Authorize access

Sign in with the Google account whose inbox you want the AI to manage. Grant the requested permissions for reading and sending emails.

⚠️

Gmail integration requests modify and send permissions. The AI can read, send, reply, trash, and label emails. Only connect accounts you trust the agent to manage.

Test it out

Once connected, open the chat preview and try:

“Show me my unread emails”
“Read the latest email from Sarah”
“Send an email to team@example.com about the meeting tomorrow”
“Unsubscribe me from that newsletter”

Key Features

Sending and Replying

The agent can compose new emails and reply to existing threads:

New emails support To, CC, BCC recipients, plain text or HTML body
Replies automatically set the correct In-Reply-To and References headers to keep the thread intact
Reply All includes all original recipients
Attachments — files uploaded in the conversation can be attached to outgoing emails

Unsubscribe

The unsubscribe tool is a standout feature. When asked to unsubscribe from a newsletter, the agent:

Reads the List-Unsubscribe header from the email
Tries RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe (POST request) first
Falls back to visiting the unsubscribe URL and submitting confirmation forms
As a last resort, sends an unsubscribe email via the mailto: link
Optionally trashes the email afterward

Label Management

Use labels to organize emails through conversation:

“Mark that email as read” — removes the UNREAD label
“Star the email from the client” — adds the STARRED label
“Archive all newsletters” — removes the INBOX label

Example Use Cases

Email assistant — “Summarize my unread emails from today”
Customer support triage — “Show me emails tagged ‘support’ and draft replies”
Inbox cleanup — “Unsubscribe me from all marketing emails and trash them”
Automated follow-ups — “Reply to John’s email saying we’ll have the report by Friday”
Email search — “Find the email with the contract attachment from last month”

Billing

Gmail tool calls use your standard LLM token billing. There is no separate per-call fee. Listing and reading emails consume tokens based on the content length returned.
