You can connect Gmail to MorningAI in under a minute: open Customize → Connectors (or the "+" menu in chat), click Connect on Gmail, and approve on Google's consent screen. You always hit send. Every email the assistant writes lands as a draft in your Gmail, threaded correctly, and MorningAI never sends, deletes, archives, or changes labels on your behalf.
Why Connect Gmail to MorningAI
Your inbox holds customer threads, agency quotes, partnership negotiations, and the context you need to move marketing forward. Searching for the right message, reading a long thread, and drafting a reply still eats hours every week.
When you connect Gmail to MorningAI, the assistant becomes an AI email draft assistant inside your workflow. It searches your inbox in plain English, reads full threads and attachments, finds unanswered emails with AI, and drafts replies you review before sending. This is a personal connector: each teammate connects their own inbox, and only they benefit from it.
How to Connect Gmail (Step by Step)
- Go to Customize → Connectors (or the "+" menu in chat) and click Connect on Gmail.
- Approve on Google's consent screen.
- Done. Ask the assistant about your inbox.
No admin setup required. Each person connects their own Gmail account through OAuth, and MorningAI never sees your password.
What the Connection Unlocks
With Gmail connected, the AI assistant can work with your real inbox:
- Search your inbox with the full power of Gmail search operators, asked in plain English ("emails from the agency last week with attachments").
- Read messages and full threads, not just the latest reply.
- Read attachments, including documents and images.
- Find unanswered threads ("who's waiting on a reply from me?").
- Draft replies and new emails as drafts in your Gmail, threaded correctly, ready for you to review and send.
Try prompts like these:
- "Find the unanswered emails from this week and draft replies."
- "What did the printer quote us? It's in a PDF somewhere in my inbox."
- "Draft a follow-up to the partnership thread, friendly but firm on timeline."
Every email the assistant writes lands as a draft in Gmail. You review, edit, and send it yourself.

Your Data, Your Control
MorningAI never sends email as you, never deletes or archives anything, and never changes labels. Drafting is the only write action. The product is designed so you stay in control of every message that leaves your inbox.
You approve the connection on Google's own consent screen. MorningAI never sees your Gmail password. Your inbox connection is personal scope: teammates cannot see your email through it.
When you disconnect Gmail from MorningAI, we delete the stored credentials. You can also revoke MorningAI's access anytime at myaccount.google.com. Credentials are stored securely and deleted when you disconnect. For more detail on how we handle data across connectors, see our security page.
Real-World Use Cases
Monday inbox triage: Ask "who's waiting on a reply from me this week?" and get a list of threads that need attention, with draft replies ready in your Gmail drafts folder.
Quote hunting without digging: When a vendor sent pricing in a PDF months ago, ask the assistant to find it and summarize the numbers so you can respond in minutes, not hours.
Partnership follow-ups: Point the assistant at a long thread, ask for a follow-up that matches the tone so far, and review the draft before you hit send.
