Gmail integration
Coming soon
Connect Gmail in one sign-in
Sign in with Google and your Gmail or Google Workspace mailbox lands in a shared inbox. It is open to selected accounts while Google reviews the app. Until then, connect Gmail over IMAP.
Free VIP onboarding included for every customer.
See all integrationsYour mailbox, shared
Keep Gmail. Answer as a team.
Your mailbox stays where it is. Herodesk checks it every minute, brings new email into the shared inbox and sends your replies through it, so every email you send from Herodesk is stored in your Sent folder too.
- Every email in your Sent folder.
- Every reply you send from Herodesk goes out through your own mailbox and is stored in its Sent folder, so Gmail keeps the complete record. Replies sent straight from Gmail are added to the conversation too.
- Nothing to move.
- Your address, your Google account and your mail history stay as they are. Herodesk picks up new email from the inbox and marks it as read.
- Start clean, or with a week.
- Only email that arrives after you connect is imported. Want context from day one? Import the last 7 days as well.
Set up in a minute
Type your address, sign in, done
Herodesk recognises a Google address and recommends signing in with Google. While that sign-in is coming soon, the same dialog connects Gmail over IMAP with an app password.
- Gmail and Google Workspace.
- Connect a personal Gmail address or a mailbox on your company’s Google Workspace domain.
- "Send mail as" addresses.
- The "Send mail as" addresses set up in Gmail come along, so replies can go out from them.
- Told before it matters.
- If the connection is ever lost, you get an email warning with a one-click reconnect.
