Connect to Gmail
This section covers how to establish your Gmail Connection within SlapFive's Embedded Integration so you can send emails from Gmail.
SlapFive's Embedded Integration allows you to send emails from Google Workspace business Gmail accounts. You cannot send from personal Gmail accounts.
To protect the security and privacy of your Gmail data, SlapFive's Embedded Integration eliminates the need for you to email or message us with your Gmail authentication credentials. Here are the steps your Google Workspace admin needs to take so SlapFive can send emails through Gmail on behalf of your users.
Grant the Workato OAuth app access to Google services
Go to https://admin.google.com and log in using an Administrator account.
In the left navigation, select Security → API Controls → App Access Control.
Find and click the Workato OAuth app, which will appear as an OAuth app after any user has attempted a Gmail connection. You will find it by looking under Configured apps for Workato or Workato Gmail Connector.
Click Change Access.
Choose Trusted: Can access all Google services. Gmail blocks sending unless the OAuth app is explicitly trusted at the domain level.
Save your changes.
Verify Access to Gmail API Scopes
Inside the app detail page, review the list of requested scopes, and make sure it includes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send
Make sure none are blocked.
Confirm the app is permitted to use Gmail scopes for the domain.
Connect to Gmail
Go to SlapFive Settings → Integrations.
Click on the name of the Gmail connection you need to connect.
Leave everything set to default values and click the Sign in with Google button.
On the Sign in with Google screen, select your Google Account.
On the next screen, Google tells you that Workato will access your Google account, click Continue.
On the final screen, Google tells you what permissions will be shared, click Allow.
Once you are successfully connected, you are taken back to the SlapFive Integrations tab screen and the button should now say Disconnect, and you should see a green Connection success message.
Verify Send-As or Alias Configuration
If you plan to send emails as an alias or shared inbox:
The authenticated user must have Send As permission for that address inside Gmail.
The alias must be verified in the user’s Gmail settings.
