Getting Started

Quick start guide

Set up in three steps

Step 01

Connect your Gmail

Authorize via OAuth 2.0. We never see your password. Tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

// No code required - use the dashboard
// Navigate to Settings > Email Connections
// Click "Connect Gmail" and authorize
Step 02

Set up Slack

Connect your Slack workspace and pick which channels receive emails.

// Navigate to Settings > Slack Integration
// Click "Add to Slack"
// Select channels for different email types
Step 03

Create routing rules

Route emails based on sender, subject, or content. Each rule points to a specific channel.

// Example rule structure:
{
  "name": "Support Tickets",
  "conditions": {
    "from": "*@support.example.com",
    "subject": { "contains": "ticket" }
  },
  "action": {
    "channel": "#support-tickets",
    "priority": "high"
  }
}

FAQ

Common questions

How secure is the Gmail connection?

We use OAuth 2.0 for authentication, which means we never see your password. Access tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored in our secure database. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account settings.

Can I use InboxBridge with multiple Gmail accounts?

Yes! Depending on your plan, you can connect multiple Gmail accounts. Basic plans include 3 endpoints, Advanced includes 10, and Enterprise has unlimited connections.

What happens if Slack is down?

Messages are queued and will be delivered when Slack becomes available again. We also store messages locally so you never lose important emails.

Can I reply to emails from Slack?

Yes! Use our threaded reply feature to respond directly from Slack. Replies are sent through your connected Gmail account.

How does SLA tracking work?

Set response time targets for different message types. InboxBridge tracks first response time and alerts you before deadlines. View SLA compliance in the analytics dashboard.
