✅ What the AI can do
- Search and read email, draft emails, manage labels and threads, and list drafts.
- Send, reply to and forward emails; by default Claude asks for approval each time.
- Connect Gmail to Claude to quickly find important emails and understand long conversations. Claude can search through your messages, read entire email threads to give you context, and help you stay on top of your inbox. Perfect for finding that message you remember sending, catching up on email chains you missed, or preparing for meetings.
- Review your Gmail conversations to prepare replies, recap recent exchanges, gather talking points for meetings, or highlight action items.
- Prepare faster with accurate communication history: "Summarize the last 5 messages in [subject line] and capture decisions, open questions, and what I should follow up on next."
- Stay ahead of follow-ups and commitments: "Turn my latest customer escalation thread into an action tracker with owners, deadlines, and the exact email reference for each item."
- Prioritize high-impact conversations: "Review recent emails and identify the five conversations needing attention today. Explain urgency, upcoming deadlines, and customer or stakeholder risks, with a link to each thread."
⛔ What it can't do / limits
- Can't read attachment content in Gmail; metadata only.
- Only accesses the one Google account you connected, with your existing permissions.
Plans & requirements
- Claude: available to all Claude users, including free.
- Claude Team/Enterprise: an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connectors for the organization first.
