Connect the Gmail account your outreach should come from. Starlight sends from it in your name and reads the replies to those messages.

Click Connectors in the sidebar

2. Click Connect Gmail

4. Configure sender name

Optionally customize the sender name that appears on outgoing emails

Permissions

Starlight requests the following Gmail permissions:

  • Send emails: to deliver your outreach messages
  • Read emails: to track replies to those messages
  • Manage labels: to organize sent and received messages

Info

Starlight never reads emails unrelated to your outreach. Only threads initiated by Starlight are tracked.

Rate Limits

To protect your email reputation and stay within Gmail's sending limits, Starlight enforces a conservative daily send limit per connected account and warms new accounts up gradually.

Gmail's own limits are typically 500 emails/day for personal accounts and 2,000/day for Google Workspace accounts.

Disconnecting

To disconnect Gmail, go to Connectors and click Disconnect next to your Gmail account. This revokes Starlight's access to your Gmail. Outreach from that mailbox pauses until you reconnect.
