# Gmail

Gmail is Google's email service used across most business workflows. Connecting Gmail to Duvo lets your assignments read, send, and manage emails on your behalf — automating communication workflows that would otherwise require manual inbox work.

## Setup

Click **Enable** on the [Connections page](https://app.duvo.ai/integrations) and authorize with your Google account.

## Capabilities

* **Read and search emails** — Retrieve messages from your inbox using filters, search criteria, or specific senders.
* **Send emails** — Compose and send messages directly from your connected account.
* **Manage drafts** — Create, list, and send draft emails before they go out.
* **Download attachments** — Pull files attached to emails for further processing.
* **Organize your inbox** — Create and manage labels, move messages, and keep your inbox structured.
* **Access account info** — Retrieve your Gmail profile information when needed for workflows.
* **Inbox triggers** — Start a Job automatically when a new email arrives. See [Triggers](#triggers) for filter options.

## Triggers

The Gmail trigger starts a Job when a new email arrives in the connected user's own inbox.

| Field           | What it does                                                                  |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Emails from** | Only fire for emails from a specific sender. Leave empty to match any sender. |

The Gmail trigger monitors only the inbox of the account you connected. Shared or delegated Gmail inboxes are not currently supported as trigger sources.
