    Gmail integration for Rig

    The easiest way to connect Gmail to Claude and other AI tools

    Gmail is Google's email service, and for many teams the place where customer and supplier conversations actually happen.

    What Rig syncs from Gmail

    Once connected, Rig models these objects so questions resolve to the right tables and joins:

    • Messages
    • Subject
    • Sender
    • Body
    • Labels

    How Gmail connects to Rig

    Authorise Rig against the mailbox over OAuth, with no token to paste. Rig ingests messages including subject, sender and body, along with labels, and you can narrow what is synced with a query and a message limit rather than taking everything.

    Bring email context into account questions

    The CRM records what someone logged; the inbox records what was actually said. With mail in the warehouse next to accounts and deals, the conversation history becomes part of the account picture rather than something you go and look for.

    Ask Rig
    • What has been discussed with this account in the last quarter?
    • Which open deals have had no email contact for a month?
    • Summarise the thread history for this renewal

    Find themes across inbound mail

    Shared inboxes accumulate patterns nobody has time to read for. Once messages are queryable by your AI tools, recurring requests, complaints and questions can be summarised across months rather than sampled.

    Ask Rig
    • What are the most common requests coming into this inbox?
    • Which issues are being raised more often than last quarter?
    • Summarise supplier complaints from the last 90 days

    Measure responsiveness

    Messages with timestamps and senders let you look at response times on shared mailboxes, which is usually invisible unless a customer complains about it.

    Ask Rig
    • What is our average first response time on this inbox?
    • Which messages have gone unanswered for more than 48 hours?
    • How has response time changed since the team grew?

    Ask your Gmail data in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

    Rig serves your Gmail data to AI assistants over MCP. Once Gmail is synced into your warehouse, you can ask questions in plain English from the tool you already use, and every answer is backed by validated, governed SQL.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does Rig sync from Gmail?
    Messages including subject, sender and body, plus labels.
    Can I limit what gets synced?
    Yes. A query and a message limit narrow the sync, so you can scope it to a shared mailbox, a label or a date range rather than an entire personal inbox.
    How do I connect Gmail?
    Over OAuth. You authorise the mailbox and there is no token to paste.
    Who can see the messages once they are in the warehouse?
    Whoever your access rules allow. Rig enforces role-based access on every query, down to the column, so mail can be restricted like any other sensitive source.
