Can Graphlit ingest Gmail?

Yes. Graphlit ingests gmail content through the Gmail messages data source. The page-level capability includes messages and threads, labels and folders, attachments and inline content, and senders, recipients, and subjects, then turns that material into searchable content, citations, extracted entities, and observations for RAG and agents.

What do I configure for the Gmail integration?

In Graphlit you configure the search Filter, email Type, include Attachments, and maximum Emails fields that define exactly what gets imported. Connector-backed services use the connected Google account boundary; credential-backed services use the API key, URL, bucket, folder, or query settings shown in the setup flow.

Gmail integration for Graphlit

Q: Can agents deliver to Gmail?

Yes. Graphlit exposes approved delivery to Gmail through connected accounts and MCP-native distribution. Agents can send approved follow-up email, create email drafts for human review, and include retrieved context in the body, so side effects stay explicit and tied to Graphlit's distribution workflow.

Ingest

What gets ingested

Graphlit reads the selected Gmail surfaces, converts the source material into searchable content, and keeps enough source metadata for grounded answers, retrieval, and downstream agent workflows.

Deliver

Deliver through Gmail

Delivery pages show the full path from context to action: Graphlit retrieves context from Gmail, agents reason over that context, and approved outputs are delivered through MCP tools and connected accounts.

Connect Gmail

// Ingest from Gmail
await client.createFeed({
  name: 'Sales Inbox',
  type: Types.FeedTypes.Email,
  email: {
    type: Types.FeedServiceTypes.GoogleEmail,
    google: {

      connector: { id: process.env.GRAPHLIT_CONNECTOR_ID! },
    },
    includeAttachments: true,
    readLimit: 200,
  },
});

// Deliver to Gmail
await client.distribute(
  {
    type: Types.DistributionServiceTypes.Gmail,
    gmail: { to: ['lead@example.com'], subject: 'Follow-up' },
  },
  { id: process.env.GRAPHLIT_CONNECTOR_ID! },

Prepare

What Graphlit prepares

The integration is not just a connector. Graphlit turns Gmail into content that can be searched, cited, summarized, enriched with observations, and supplied to agents through the Graphlit API and MCP.

{
  "source": "Gmail",
  "content": "Gmail messages",
  "extracted": [
    "entities",
    "observations",
    "facts",
    "summaries"
  ],
  "citations": [
    "Gmail source references"
  ],
  "agentContext": {
    "searchable": true,
    "groundedAnswers": true,
    "deliveryEnabled": true
  }
}

Use cases

What you can build with Gmail

Build a Gmail knowledge base from messages and threads and labels and folders and search it alongside the rest of your Graphlit content.

Ask grounded questions over Gmail context without forcing users to leave the tools where the work originally happened.

Extract people, organizations, projects, events, facts, and decisions from Gmail content so agents can reason over durable context.

Let approved agents send approved follow-up email after retrieving the source context that justifies the delivery.
