Shyft AI keeps your inbox in perfect sync. The app monitors for new messages and changes from your linked accounts, so your inbox is always up-to-date. Every new conversation, label change, or draft will appear as soon as it happens.
Step 1: Connect Your Account
First, you'll need to link your Gmail account to Shyft AI.
From your Shyft AI dashboard, click the "Connect" button next to the Gmail icon.
A new window will open, prompting you to log in to your Google Account.
Select the Gmail account you want to connect.
Step 2: Grant Permissions
Google will ask you to grant Shyft AI certain permissions. This is a standard and secure process.
On the permissions screen, you will see a list of what Shyft AI needs to do. This includes:
Viewing your emails: This allows our AI to read messages so it can organize your inbox and draft replies in your voice.
Managing your calendar: This is necessary for our notetaker to join your meetings and for scheduling features to work correctly.
Creating drafts: This lets our AI write responses for you to review and send.
Review the list and click "Allow."
Important: Our system only accesses the data necessary to provide our service. We do not store your full emails or credentials. You are always in control and can revoke these permissions at any time through your Google Account settings.
Step 3: Watch the Magic Happen
Once you grant permissions, Shyft AI will begin its initial sync.
The system will start by importing your most recent emails and calendar events.
Older data will be synced in the background while you continue to use the app.
Congratulations! Your inbox will now be smarter, more organized, and ready to help you work with clarity.
