Connect Gmail and your agent becomes genuinely useful with email: it finds the message you half-remember, summarizes long threads, drafts the reply you’ve been postponing, and — only with your approval — sends it. Gmail is an individual connection: you connect your mailbox, and the agent uses it only when you are the one talking to it. A colleague asking the same agent gets their own mailbox (if they’ve connected it), never yours. Admins can’t access it either.

​
What agents can do

What it can never do: permanently delete your mail. Leme deliberately doesn’t request that permission from Google — it doesn’t exist in the connection at all.

​
Try asking

  • “Find the email from the accountant about the Q2 filing — what did she need from me?”
  • “Summarize my unread messages and tell me which ones actually need a reply.”
  • “Catch me up on the thread with Acme about the renewal.”
  • “Draft a polite reply saying we’ll have the numbers by Friday.” — lands in your drafts for review.
  • “Reply to Marcos confirming Tuesday at 10am.” — sent after you approve.
  • “Archive everything from newsletters older than a week.” — applied per your Write permission.

​
Connect your Gmail

1

Open Integrations

In the Leme dashboard, go to Integrations and select Gmail.
2

Sign in with Google

Select Connect and approve on Google’s consent screen with the account you want the agent to use. Review the requested access — mail and read-only contacts.
3

Check the agent

An admin enables the Gmail integration on the agent; each teammate who wants email help connects their own account the same way.
On some Google Workspace domains, an administrator must allow the Leme app before employees can grant it access. If the consent screen blocks you, that’s the place to look.

​
Permissions

A useful pattern: keep sending behind approval but allow drafts. The agent then prepares complete replies in your Drafts folder, and you review and hit send in Gmail — full email help, zero risk of something going out unreviewed. Adjust in Integrations → Gmail → Agent permissions — see Permissions & approvals.
If your agent lives in an email channel, replying within the conversation it was called in is treated as a normal reply, not as new outbound mail.

​
Troubleshooting

Individual connections are per person. Even if a colleague connected theirs, you need to connect your own from Integrations → Gmail.
Google authorizations can be revoked — by you (myaccount.google.com → Security → Third-party access), by an admin, or by a password reset on some account types. Reconnect from Integrations → Gmail.
Try giving it a stronger anchor: sender, an exact phrase, or a date range. The agent searches with Gmail’s own syntax, so anything Gmail’s search box can find, it can find.
