Gmail

Google Workspace

Read, send, and organize your inbox with AI precision

What You Can Do

Gmail is the backbone of professional communication — and with OpenClaw you can interact with your inbox through natural language instead of clicking around.

  • Read and summarize — Retrieve emails by thread ID, search query, or label; get full body text or concise summaries of long threads
  • Search — Query by sender, subject, date range, keyword, or any combination; supports all Gmail search operators
  • Draft messages — Compose new emails with to/cc/bcc, subject, and body without opening a browser
  • Send messages — Fire off replies or new emails on command
  • Reply and forward — Continue threads seamlessly by referencing thread ID
  • Label management — Create new labels, apply labels to messages, remove them, and list all your labels
  • Archive and delete — Clean up your inbox by archiving read threads or trashing messages you no longer need
  • Mark read/unread — Batch update read state across multiple messages at once
  • Filter creation — Set up automatic routing rules for incoming mail
  • Attachment info — List attachments and retrieve them by ID
  • Try Asking

  • "Check my Gmail for unread emails from the last 24 hours and summarize the important ones"
  • "Draft a reply to Sarah's email saying I'll be 10 minutes late"
  • "Find all emails from invoicing@vendor.com and label them 'Bills'"
  • "Send a follow-up to the last thread with Marcus about the project timeline"
  • "Archive everything in my inbox older than 30 days"
  • "Create a label called 'Action Required' and apply it to my 3 most recent unread emails"
  • "Search for any emails with attachments from this week"
  • "How many unread emails do I have right now?"
  • Pro Tips

  • Gmail search operators work in queries: `from:`, `subject:`, `has:attachment`, `after:`, `before:`, `label:`
  • Batch operations are far more efficient — label 50 emails in one command instead of one at a time
  • Thread IDs are stable — save them for follow-up automation workflows
  • Combine with Google Calendar: find a meeting invitation email, then create the calendar event automatically
  • Filter creation is permanent — use it to auto-label recurring newsletters or vendor invoices
  • Rate limit: ~250 quota units per second; bulk sends may be throttled
