Gmail connects to Luffy, the AI employee that works from Slack. Secure email from Google for business and personal communication. With Luffy, that capability becomes available from the Slack conversation where the work begins. Your team can ask Luffy to work with documents, projects, meetings, messages, and team knowledge; Luffy gathers the relevant context, completes the task, and returns the result to the channel where work is already happening.
What it does
Features
Bring Gmail context into Slack
Mention Luffy in a channel or message it directly. Luffy uses Gmail for the job it is built to handle: secure email from Google for business and personal communication. It returns the useful context to Slack with the source attached.
Turn Gmail context into finished work
Luffy can find context, coordinate work, and turn decisions into follow-ups. It carries the conversation's context into the task, so your team does not have to restate the brief in another app.
Keep people in control
Luffy works with the access your team grants and can pause for approval before consequential actions. The result is shared work that stays discoverable and actionable from Slack.

Gmail connector FAQ
What can Luffy do with Gmail?
Luffy can use the Gmail connection to find relevant context, answer questions, prepare summaries, and support workflows from Slack. The exact actions available depend on the permissions and tools enabled by your workspace admin.
Do teammates need to leave Slack to use the Gmail connector?
No for everyday requests. Teammates can ask Luffy from Slack, and Luffy brings the result back to the conversation. An admin may need to open Luffy once to connect and configure Gmail.

Luffy only uses the access granted to the connected workspace and follows the approval boundaries configured by your team. Use least-privilege access for sensitive systems and require approval for consequential actions.
