chatstaff with Gmail

Gmail is an email provider. Availability depends on Google app verification; sending still needs human approval.

What you can do

The shop's email does not answer itself. chatstaff reads the letter, summarises it in Albanian, ranks the urgency and prepares a reply draft. Sending happens only when a person approves. No letter goes out on its own.

That is deliberate. A wrong email stays in the customer's mailbox. The draft leaves you the last word: you edit it, shorten it or discard it. The panel keeps the thread's state: waiting on us, waiting on them, or done.

Outlook and Microsoft 365 connect with the business account. Gmail connects where Google allows the app; until that approval is open to everyone, it can be limited to test accounts. In both cases the letter joins the same queue and the draft needs the same approval. There is no bulk send. One letter, one approval.

  • Connect a Gmail mailbox for inbox.
  • Same triage and drafts as email overall.

Concrete example

A letter arrives: “I want to return the shirt, I ordered the wrong size.” chatstaff marks it as a return and drafts a reply that cites the return rule in your knowledge base. Staff read it, fix the date if needed and send it.

If nobody sends it, the letter stays in the queue. No silent reminder goes to the customer without your decision.

After connecting, messages enter the panel email queue for staff review.

Illustrative example

What you need to connect

A shop admin connects the mailbox from the panel. Outlook needs the business Microsoft 365 account. Gmail needs the Google account, with whatever limit the app has until it is verified.

  • A business Google account.
  • OAuth approval and app verification when required.

Important limits

Email does not enter the assistant that answers WhatsApp chats. There is no reply to the customer without approval. There are no campaigns and no send to a list.

  • May run in test mode until Google verifies the app.
  • No automatic sending.
