Why Connect Gmail?
Samepage helps Product Managers stay on top of important email communication without constantly checking their inbox. By connecting Gmail, Samepage users can:
Build Signals to triage important emails and surface action items
Spot threads that need a response or follow-up
Discover communication patterns and recurring topics
Use the Samepage Copilot to answer questions or draft documents informed by email data
Integration Type
Personal integration — each user connects their own Gmail account. The email data imported is private to that user and not visible to others in the workspace.
This integration can be configured to select specific labels. Only emails with selected labels will be imported.
Data Imported
Samepage imports the following from Gmail:
Emails — Email content, subject lines, senders, and recipients
Threads — Full conversation threads and reply chains
Labels — Gmail labels and categories applied to messages
This data is used to help Product Managers triage communication, track important threads, and surface action items.
Sync Behavior
Initial sync pulls emails from the last 3 months
Ongoing syncs pull changes from the last 2 weeks, refreshing multiple times per day
How to Connect
You must have an existing Samepage account. If you need one, sign up at samepage.ai.
Go to the Integrations page in Samepage.
Find and click Gmail.
Authenticate your Google account and accept the requested permissions.
Select the labels you want Samepage to import.
Samepage will begin importing data from Gmail automatically, refreshing multiple times per day.
What You Can Do After Connecting
Create Signals that analyze Gmail data — e.g., "Show recent important emails" or "Surface threads where I've been asked a question but haven't replied"
Chat with Copilot about email data — e.g., "What emails need my attention today?" or "Summarize the thread with the design team about the rebrand"
Combine with other data — Cross-reference email threads with Slack discussions, meeting transcripts, or Jira tickets for a complete picture
Signal Examples Using Gmail
Signal | What It Does |
Communication Triage | Surfaces important emails that need a response, grouped by urgency |
Action Item Extractor | Identifies emails containing requests, tasks, or commitments directed at you |
Thread Follow-Up | Highlights threads where you're expected to respond but haven't yet |
Weekly Email Digest | Summarizes the key themes and important threads from the past week |
Example Signal Prompt
Here's a detailed prompt you can paste into a Signal's instructions field to get a comprehensive email triage digest:
Review all Gmail activity from the past week and produce a structured summary focused on communication triage:
Important Emails Needing Response — List emails where someone is waiting for my reply or where an explicit question was asked. Note the sender, subject, and what's being asked. Link to the Gmail thread.
Threads with Action Items — Surface email threads that contain tasks, commitments, or deadlines directed at me. Note what the action item is and when it's due (if mentioned).
Key Conversations — Summarize the most important email threads from the week. Group by topic or project and note the current status of each conversation.
FYI / Low Priority — Briefly list emails that are informational only and don't require action, so I can skim or archive them.
Keep it concise. Use bullet points. Include links to Gmail threads wherever possible so I can jump to the source.
FAQ
Does this integration provide clickable links back to the source? Yes. Gmail threads include deep links that take you directly to the thread in Gmail. When Signals or Copilot reference an email, you can click through to view the full conversation in Gmail itself.
Privacy
Gmail data is never used to train AI models. Emails and metadata are processed only to generate Signal outputs and Copilot responses. Because this is a personal integration, your email data is only visible to you. See Data Handling for more information.
