What is Gmail?

Gmail is Google's email service for sending, receiving, searching, and organizing messages. Individuals use it for personal email, while teams use Gmail through Google Workspace for customer conversations, sales follow-up, support requests, internal updates, and attachments.

The Gmail connector lets Okou work with the email context you authorize. Instead of copying messages between tools, you can ask Okou to triage an inbox, summarize a thread, prepare a response, or carry email-driven work into the rest of your workflow.

What you can do with Gmail in Okou

  • Find messages by sender, subject, date, label, unread status, or attachment.
  • Read complete threads and attachments so summaries and draft replies keep the conversation's context.
  • Create new drafts and thread replies for review, then send an approved message from the connected account.
  • Organize the inbox by applying labels, changing read status, or moving messages and threads to trash.
  • Create labels and filters for repeatable inbox rules.
  • Watch for new mailbox activity and use it to start a follow-up, report, or cross-tool workflow.
