Connect Gmail to send outreach and track replies.

Connect your Gmail account to send outreach emails and receive replies directly in Starlight.

## Setup

#### 1. Go to Connectors

Click **Connectors** in the sidebar

#### 2. Click Connect Gmail

Under the Email section, click **Connect** next to Gmail

#### 3. Authorize with Google

Sign in to your Google account and grant Starlight permission to send and read emails on your behalf

#### 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 and populate your inbox
- **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 comply with Gmail's sending limits, Starlight enforces a daily send limit per connected account. You can configure this limit in the Connectors page.

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. Any scheduled messages that haven't been sent yet will remain in the Scheduled tab but won't be delivered until you reconnect.
