This is a game changer for me (I manage multiple accounts for clients). Thank you so much!
Ashutosh Priyadarshy

The Gmail integration is now fully functional!
Here are some of the basics you can do:
- Browse all of your emails
- Click on an email to see a full preview of the thread
- Convert emails into tasks by dragging them onto your task list
- Archive, trash, or mark an email as unread
There are also some more advanced options:
- Create automated actions like archiving an email whenever you convert an email to a task
- Add multiple Google Accounts
Here's a full walkthrough of how you can use the Gmail integration:
Since the core functionality is on place, we're marking this feature as complete. However, we'll still be working on some smaller improvements, so please add any additional requests you have.

Travis Meyer: Hi, tried to watch the video but it says video not found... probably because it's from some time ago. Is there a new link I could use please? Thanks!!
Travis Meyer
Diana Dóris Coelho: Thanks for letting me know! I just made a new video and updated the original link. Here it is again: https://www.loom.com/share/b6eb06b78ddd4a728e8dd0330b2f094f

The Gmail Integration now supports adding and switching between as many Gmail accounts as you'd like.
We're still hard at work on the Gmail integration, though it should be mostly functional at this point, and hope to announce it officially soon. In the meantime, please ping myself or Zane Mccaig if you've got feedback or issues about the current version of the integration!
Jake Vogel
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Great work! Not sure if anyone else has requested this, but would it be possible to provide the option to aggregate all inboxes into one?
Zane Mccaig
John Kranz
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: wow, fantastic news. Incredible support and advancements being made in one of my favorite, must-have apps. :-)
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
Jake Vogel: Right now, we don't have plans to add that feature but if there's a lot of demand for it, we may reconsider.
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
John Kranz: Thanks for the kind words. It's a pleasure to build Sunsama for you!
Zane Mccaig
Jake Vogel: I've thought about it but we have not made any motions in that direction yet. I created a new feature request to track this. Please add your vote if you want to see this happen. https://sunsama.canny.io/improvements/p/all-inboxes-from-all-accounts
Jake Vogel
Zane Mccaig: Thanks!
André Sabosch
Please allow multiple Gmail accounts. This would make Sunsama brilliant :)
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
André Sabosch: This is something we are planning to do. Once we're happy with the experience of using the Gmail integration for one account, we'll turn our focus to supporting multiple accounts. Hold tight!
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
André Sabosch: This is now available!
John Kranz
Brilliant. I've been really looking forward to this and have just configured the integration with google mail. I'll continue watching the video and this is going to do wonders for me. This product has already paid for itself in spades with how it has helped me with my scheduling and priority setting. Congrats and thank you!
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
John Kranz: Thanks for the kind words, John! Keep us posted on your feedback with the Gmail integration.

Full email previews are no available when you click on an email in the right panel or open up a task that's linked to an email. The emails should look just like you'd expect them to look like Gmail!
Next up, we're going to get to work on making the email loading and viewing experience faster and snappier 🚀
Over the next few weeks, we hope to iterate based on your feedback. If you've got a minute, we'd love to know:
- How are you using the Gmail integration currently? What types of emails are you pulling in as you plan your day?
- Any issues or frustrations you've run into as you've used it?
Iris Soute
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Hi, thanks for adding the gmail integration! I have two "frustrations" :)
- I'd like to pull in only my primary emails, but although I select "Primary" in the dropdown list, I see mails that have already archived (and are not in primary anymore when I visit gmail).
- The preview in the right panel shows the preview of the email. But it shows the preview of the first email of the thread, while I'm usually more interested in the last email of the thread. It would also be more consistent, as once I open the mail in Sunsama, it shows the last email in the thread on top.
That's it!
Bryan Dady
Ashutosh Priyadarshy:
- How are you using the Gmail integration currently? What types of emails are you pulling in as you plan your day?
- I'm using the Gmail drop-down to select the label (auto-applied by filter) to the emails from my boss or my direct team. I then review and selectively add these to me Sunsama task list, to make sure I follow-up on them timely.
- Any issues or frustrations you've run into as you've used it?
- I have no issues or frustrations yet.
Thank you!!!
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
Bryan Dady: Thanks for taking the time to share that. It's so helpful for us to understand exactly the types of emails you are pulling in.
Ashutosh Priyadarshy
Iris Soute: Great notes! Both of the things you mentioned are definite bugs. We're already planning on fixing the first one and I'll file an issue for the second as it's definitely something we want to fix! Thank you so much!
Zane Mccaig
Iris Soute: Both of these issues should be resolved now. Please let us know if anything still looks off to you

We've officially been approved and you can now add the Gmail integration without an access code.
Today, we launched custom "Actions" that let you configure Sunsama to your personal inbox workflow. You can learn more here: https://roadmap.sunsama.com/changelog/gmail-integration-custom-actions-google-approval
The Gmail integration remains a work in progress so we welcome your feedback as we iterate on it actively over the next several weeks. I'll continue to post updates as we make improvements.
If you'd rather wait till the Gmail Integration is 💯 then hold tight and we'll send out a broader update when we announce it publicly.
Jay Cassano
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Hey Ashutosh, this is super exciting! Is there an integration coming inside the gmail interface itself? (Thinking for example of the "send to slack" button in the gmail sidebar - see attachment). Or will this just be from inside Sunsama?
Tyler Swartz
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Super cool, but unfortunately I was not able to configure it. My company restricted logging in via google in the integration panel :(
Praneeth Goli
Ashutosh Priyadarshy: Will "Primary" emails be seperated from the "Social" emails and "Promotion" emails in the interface?
Zane Mccaig
Praneeth Goli: yes you can filter based on all of those categories as well as others. If you haven't already please give it a try
Zane Mccaig
Jay Cassano: We currently do not have any Gmail plugins planned but there is an existing feature request for this. Please add your vote and any details about what you would like to see https://sunsama.canny.io/improvements/p/react-to-changes-in-gmail
Timothy Duncan
