When this workflow makes sense
Start with the decision your team needs to make, then choose the connection that supports it.
Connecting a mailbox is the starting point. The useful work is deciding who sends, which prospects belong in the sequence, and how the team will handle the resulting conversation. If the CRM is part of the handoff, treat its activity sync as a separate dependency so that a connected mailbox is not mistaken for a complete process.
A good fit when
Reps who use a Google mailbox and want sequence email and replies to form part of their Unify outbound process.
Reconsider the plan when
If the sender, recipient criteria, or reply owner is unclear, settle those choices before starting a live sequence. This article does not prescribe sending volumes or guarantee delivery.
Design the handoff
Use this framework to agree on the input, the next action, and who owns the result.
Suggested workflow design, based on the documented capabilities below.
| Stage | Decision to make |
|---|---|
| Sender | Choose the Google mailbox that should represent the rep in the conversation. |
| Audience | Define why these prospects belong in the sequence and review the intended message. |
| Conversation | Assign responsibility for reviewing replies and deciding the next human action. |
| Record keeping | If CRM activity matters, check that separate connection and its supported email-activity requirements. |

Run a rep-owned outbound sequence
A rep has a defined prospect audience and wants to start email conversations from their Google mailbox.
Agree on the audience, sender identity, and reply owner before starting the sequence. A connected mailbox alone does not define the process.
- Choose the prospect audience and review why the message is relevant to it
- Use the intended Gmail sender and review the sequence message
- Send a controlled message, inspect its reply, and agree who handles the next step
Keep the sales conversation visible in the CRM
A rep needs the prospect conversation and CRM record to support the same account handoff.
Decide which email activity the next rep needs to see. Mailbox authorization and CRM activity sync are separate dependencies.
- Identify the CRM person record and the activity the team expects to inspect
- Review the separate CRM connection and its email-activity requirements
- Send a controlled sequence message and compare the mailbox and CRM context

Define success before launch
Inspect the data and the intended outcome separately. Connection status is only the first check.
Expected, not tested
The mailbox shows a connected status in Unify and is available for the sequence-email workflow.
Check the mailbox status, a controlled outbound message, and its reply separately. Authorization alone does not establish delivery to a recipient.

Questions answered
Common decisions when connecting Unify and Gmail.
Can Unify send emails through Gmail?
Yes. Unify documents Gmail as a connected mailbox for sending and receiving emails in sequences. After connection, you can enroll people in sequences and use that mailbox for outbound email.[1]
Where do I connect Gmail in Unify?
Open Settings → Mailboxes and select New Mailbox. Authorize the intended Google account, then return to Unify to inspect its connection status.[1]
Does Gmail setup require a webhook?
No. The documented path uses Google mailbox authorization from Unify Mailboxes. It does not ask you to create an HTTP webhook or paste an API key.[1]
Can the connected Gmail mailbox receive replies?
Yes. The guide describes sending and receiving sequence email through Gmail. Validate a controlled reply in your own account before relying on the workflow.[1]
What Gmail sending limits does Unify support?
The cited integration guide does not specify sending limits, plan eligibility details, or deliverability guarantees. Check your mailbox settings and current account requirements before setting live sending volume.[1]
Limits & decisions
Check these boundaries before designing a live workflow around the connection.

What the connection supports
Understand the connection, the data involved, and the behavior that matters for a Unify + Gmail workflow.
Authorized mailbox
| Decision | What to know |
|---|---|
| Connection location | Settings → Mailboxes → New Mailbox[1] |
| Authorization | Select the Google mailbox and approve access[1] |
| Outbound use | Emails sent through Unify sequences[1] |
| Inbound use | Receiving replies through the connected mailbox[1] |
This is a mailbox authorization flow. The documented setup does not require a custom HTTP endpoint, webhook secret, or JSON payload.

Connection requirements and setup checklist
Before connecting
- Access to the Gmail mailbox you intend to connect
- Access to Settings → Mailboxes in Unify
- Permission to authorize the account under your organization's Google policies
Add a mailbox
In Unify, open Settings → Mailboxes and select New Mailbox.[1]
Authorize the correct Google account
On Google's authorization page, select the mailbox you want Unify to use and choose Allow.[1]
Review the connection status
Return to Unify Mailboxes and inspect the status of the newly connected account.[1]
Validate with a controlled recipient
As a suggested check, send a sequence email to a recipient you control and reply from that mailbox. Inspect both directions before using the connection for live outreach.[1]
Troubleshooting
Start with the stage where the expected data or action stops appearing.
The wrong mailbox is connected
Compare the selected Google account with the mailbox shown in Unify. Verify the intended account before sending a sequence.[1]
Authorization cannot be completed
Ask the Google Workspace administrator to review the organization's authorization policy. The Unify guide does not provide an error-specific admin procedure.[1]
Connected does not mean delivered
Validate a controlled message and reply. The integration guide does not provide a deliverability guarantee or a sending-limit specification.[1]
