Gmail is a product of Google; it is one of the most popular Email services and it is seamlessly connected to other Google services. 

With your Gmail account integrated to our Wiresk platform, you can manage it effortlessly and efficiently. Keep an eye on your threads, mark important emails or follow current conversation with ease. By going through this Gmail documentation, step by step, you will find more possibilities that suit your needs. 

To use Gmail with Wiresk, you must have a Google account, you can create your account here.
You can find the Gmail API Documentation for more Endpoints (Methods).

A connection to your Google account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

  • On your Wiresk’s Dashboard, select your Group.
  • On the left panel, go to “My apps” and select create button
  • Search “Google” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and choose the Google icon.

Select the Trigger

Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • On the new screen, name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Triggers by clicking on the Wiresk 2025 05 02 at 15.00.40 Gmail Connection and Settings next to “All Triggers”.
  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

Add a Method to your Flow

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).
  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) next to the Trigger icon.

To add Tools in your Flow, Follow the same step as adding the Methods.

  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) then just click on the “Tool” tab and select the Tool that you want to add.

You can refer to “How to Create a Flow” tutorial for more detailed instructions, including step-by-step guidance on mapping and configuration.

What will start your automation…

Run Once Tab: This tab allows you to schedule a Flow to execute a single time at a specific date and time. This is ideal for one-time operations such as data syncs, cleanups, or initial configuration steps. After execution, the schedule will be automatically cleared unless rescheduled manually.

Run Tab: This tab is used to set up repeating schedules:

  • Repeat feature: This dropdown determines how long the automation will continue repeating based on the selected frequency (Minutely or Hourly). You can choose from:
    • Repeat Forever
      • The automation will continue to run indefinitely at the defined interval (e.g. every 15 minutes).
      • No end condition is specified.
    • Repeat for (x) Times
      • You set a specific number of repetitions.
      • Requires the field Number (x) of Repeat Times to be filled (e.g. 10 times).
    • Repeat Between Start & End Dates
      • The automation will run only within a defined date range.
      • Additional fields will appear to select start and end dates.
      • Useful for limited-time schedules like campaigns or batch jobs.
  • Daily at Multiple Times: Sets the Flow to run several times per day based on a minutely or hourly interval.
  • Daily: This allows a Flow to run x times per day at a specific time.
  • Weekly: This allows you to run a Flow weekly by selecting the days and time.
  • Monthly: This will monitor your Trigger every month on a defined date and hour.
  • Yearly: This will monitor your Trigger on a specific date and hour every year.
  • Specific dates: This will start your Trigger on specific dates and time.

For more details, see Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

After you’ve configured your Trigger parameters, select the “Use” button to fetch a live sample of data from the Trigger.

What it does:

  • Extracts real data based on your Trigger setup
  • Validates your parameters by showing if they match existing records
  • Prepares data for field mapping – the sample helps you map your Trigger output to your Method parameters in the Flow. Refer to FIELD MAPPING documentation.

Think of it as a preview step: it makes sure your Trigger is working and gives you real data to work with when setting up the rest of your flow.


What your automation will do…

You can include between 1 and 255 Methods to build complex Flows.


After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow.
  • Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
