The Gmail connector gives Bridge full read and write access to your inbox. You can search for specific emails, read full threads, compose new messages, reply to conversations, create drafts for review, manage labels, and move messages to trash — without opening Gmail.

How to connect

1

Open the Connectors page

2

Connect Gmail

Click Connect next to Gmail.
3

Authorize with Google

You’ll be redirected to Google’s OAuth consent screen. Sign in with the Google account you want to use and grant Bridge the requested permissions.
4

Done

Bridge connects to that Gmail account. You can now use it from the Command Center.
Gmail is a separate connector from Google Calendar and Google Drive. Connecting one does not connect the others — each uses its own OAuth authorization.

What you can do

Search and read email

Find emails using any criteria — sender, subject, date, label, attachment, or any combination.
Read a full email thread to see the entire conversation in order.

Compose and send

Write and send a new email, or ask Bridge to draft one for you to review first.
Bridge will always show you the full draft — recipient, subject, and body — and ask for your confirmation before sending.

Reply to email

Reply to any email in your inbox. Bridge threads the reply correctly so it appears in the same conversation.

Create and send drafts

Save a draft to your Gmail Drafts folder without sending, then send it when you’re ready.

Manage labels and organize

Archive messages, mark as read or unread, star important emails, move to trash, and create or update custom labels.

Download attachments

Retrieve file attachments from any email. Images render inline in the Command Center; other files are returned as downloadable data.

What Bridge covers

Full Gmail query syntax: from:, to:, subject:, is:unread, has:attachment, label:, before:, after:, newer_than:, and more. Paginated results for large inboxes.
Get full message content including body, headers, and attachment list. Read entire threads chronologically.
Send new emails with plain text or HTML body. CC and BCC supported. Reply to existing threads with correct threading headers.
Create drafts (including reply drafts) saved to your Drafts folder. Send a draft when you’re ready.
Archive, star, mark read/unread, move between labels. Create, update, and delete custom labels. Batch operations on up to 1,000 messages at once.
Move messages to Trash (recoverable within 30 days). Batch trash multiple messages in a single command.
Download attachments from any message. Images display inline; other formats return as base64 data with metadata.
Bridge moves messages to Trash, not permanent delete. Trashed messages are recoverable from your Gmail Trash folder for 30 days.
When you ask Bridge to send an email, it will always show you a preview first and ask for confirmation. Sending is irreversible, so Bridge never skips this step.
