Give your AI agent safe access to your real Gmail
Connect your Gmail account and your agent can work inside your real inbox — reading, organising, drafting, and replying as you.
You set the rules for what happens automatically and what needs your approval. Nothing leaves your inbox without your say-so.
Step 1
Connect your Google account
Open the AgentBlocks dashboard, click “Connect Gmail,” and sign in with Google. That's the entire setup. Your agent now has access to your inbox — but only within the rules you're about to set. You can disconnect at any time.

Read, search, and send emails through Gmail
Gmail not yet connected
Connect a Google account to give your agent access to Gmail.
Step 2
Set your Gmail rules
Let your agent breeze through the easy stuff — reading, archiving, labelling — and step in when it matters. Approve sensitive replies before they go, block the things that should never happen, and set keyword or recipient rules so emails to certain people always come to you first.
Reading & Browsing
What your agent can see in your inbox. These don't change anything — they're read-only.
See your inbox list
Subjects, senders, and dates — but not the email body.
Open & read emails
Let your agent read the full body of individual emails.
See labels & folders
View how your Gmail is organised (label names only).
Organizing
Actions that move or tag emails — nothing gets deleted, but things do change.
Archive emails
Move emails out of your inbox (they're still searchable).
Add or remove labels
Tag emails as read, categorise them, apply labels, etc.
Sending Emails
Rules that control when your agent can send or reply to emails on your behalf.
Keyword Rules
Match by words in the email subject or body
If email contains any of
Then
Recipient Rules
Match by who the email is addressed to
If email address matches
Then
Everyone else — default rule for all recipients
Step 3
Connect your agent
Open your AI tool — Claude, Manus, whatever you use — and add AgentBlocks as a connector. Two clicks. Your agent instantly knows it has Gmail access and exactly what it's allowed to do.
Add custom connector
BETAConnect Claude to your data and tools. Learn more about connectors or get started with pre-built ones.

Advanced settings
Only use connectors from developers you trust. Anthropic does not control which tools developers make available and cannot verify that they will work as intended or that they won't change.
Step 4
It reads, organises, and drafts — all on its own
Ask your agent to handle your inbox. It works through your unread messages, archives the noise, applies the right labels, and drafts replies to anything that needs one. All of this happens automatically based on your rules — no interruptions.
Step 5
Sending as you needs your approval
When your agent wants to send something from your real email address, it pauses. You see the full email — who it's going to, the subject line, the message, and the thread it's part of — before anything is sent. One tap to approve, and it goes out as you, into the right thread, exactly as if you'd typed it yourself.

Subject: Re: Partnership proposal — next steps
Hi David,
Thanks for reviewing — really glad the terms work for you. Happy to jump on a call and walk through next steps. Would Thursday afternoon or Friday morning suit you?
Best,
Jane

And it shows up in your sent folder
The reply lands in the original thread in your real Gmail account, exactly where it should be. Your sent folder shows it. The recipient sees an email from you. Nobody knows it was drafted by your agent — and that's the point.

Step 6
Then let it run
Once you're comfortable with your rules, your agent manages your inbox on its own — reading, organising, and drafting throughout the day. It only surfaces when there's something to send from your real address. You approve from your phone in seconds and it keeps going.
