# Gmail

Ask Merlin things like "anything important in my inbox today?", "find the flight confirmation from last month" or "reply to Sam saying Friday works".

## Linking

Open **Apps** on Home, choose **Gmail** and sign in with Google. You can link more than one Gmail account. Merlin searches all of them, and asks which one to send from.

## What Merlin can do with Gmail

- Search your email by sender, subject, date or whether it's unread
- Read whole email threads
- Save drafts in your Gmail, after you confirm
- Send emails and replies, after you confirm
- Tell you when an email from someone or about something arrives

## What Merlin can't do with Gmail

- Send or draft an email without your confirmation
- Delete, archive, label or mark emails as read
- Change your Gmail settings, filters or forwarding
- Show your email to others in a group unless you approve each time

## Sending

Before sending an email or saving a draft, Merlin shows who it's going to and the subject, with **Confirm** and **Cancel** buttons. Only you can press them. Replies stay in the same thread.

## Email alerts

Ask Merlin to tell you when a certain email arrives, like "tell me when the accountant replies about the tax return". See [Automations](https://atmerlin.com/docs/automations).

## In groups

Other people in a group can't use your Gmail unless you share it in that chat's settings. Even then, they only see an email after you approve it. See [Connected apps](https://atmerlin.com/docs/connected-apps).
