Q · Short answer
What is Gmail?
Gmail is Google’s email service and one of the connectors Muse launched with on September 8, 2026. Neither Google nor Meta has published a detailed list of what the connector can read or send.
Why it ranks #3
For most people, the inbox is where requests, receipts, bookings and customer questions arrive. That makes Gmail one of the highest-leverage connectors you can give Muse, and it was among the connectors named at Muse’s launch on September 8, 2026. One early user report described it as connected by default.
The catch is documentation. Neither Google nor Meta has published exactly what the Gmail connector can read, draft or send, so we can’t tell you whether it will send mail on your behalf or only read it. Check the permissions screen when you connect.
It ranks this high because of reach: almost every other workflow in this guide — sales follow-ups, invoices, meeting prep — touches email. If your organization runs on Microsoft 365, Outlook was also named at launch.
