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.

    • Link it with a single Google app (in this case Gmail) for specific functionality.
    • Grant access to all Google apps for this connection, allowing broader use of your account.
  • Select “Continue with Google” button.

Add a Trigger that will start your Flow

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.
  • Click on the (+) button to open the Trigger settings side panel.
  • On the settings side panel, click on the “+ Add” button.
