Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect my Gmail account to viaSocket?

Connect viaSocket with a Google sign-in. You grant access through Google’s authorization screen—no password sharing. Once connected, you can pick triggers and actions for your workflows.

What Gmail events can trigger an automation?

Common triggers include new emails, emails with specific labels, messages with attachments, and changes to a thread. Use these triggers to kick off routing, ticket creation, follow-ups or data extraction.

Can viaSocket use AI to help with Gmail tasks?

Yes. viaSocket can run AI tasks on Gmail messages—summarize threads, draft personalized replies, classify message intent, and extract structured data—then use those results to drive workflows automatically.

Is my Gmail data secure when connected?

viaSocket uses Google’s OAuth for access, requests only the permissions needed for each workflow, and transmits data encrypted. Access scopes and storage are limited to what your automations require.

Will automation respect Gmail sending limits?

Yes. Workflows are designed to respect Gmail API quotas and daily sending limits to avoid account blocks. High-volume email sending should be routed through a transactional mail service when appropriate.
