FAQ

FAQ

Labels are applied to the Gmail thread and the message can be archived or marked as read per rules. The original content remains accessible in Gmail, and the label acts as a persistent classification. If archiving is enabled, the email is moved out of the primary inbox but remains searchable. You can still open the message from Labels or All Mail. The Sheets log records the labeling action for audit purposes.

Yes. You can define your own keyword mappings and related labels in the configuration. The agent will apply the corresponding label when a match occurs and log the result. It is easy to add or modify categories as needs evolve. Changes apply to new messages going forward, and you can adjust rules at any time.

Logging to Sheets is configurable. If you disable logging, the agent will still label and manage Gmail messages, but there will be no auditable sheet record. You can enable logging later to restore the historical log flow. The agent still maintains in-Gmail labeling and archiving functionality regardless of logging.

Yes. The agent uses standard Google OAuth scopes to access Gmail and Sheets. Access is limited to the minimum permissions needed to label, archive, and log. You control which Google account and sheets are used. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account settings.

Yes. You can adjust the trigger to run on new messages only, or apply timing constraints. The setup allows changing the criteria for when a message should be evaluated. This makes it flexible to fit different inbox management needs.

Data handling follows your Google account policies. Only metadata and content exposed by Gmail for classification are used within the agent. Labels and logs do not export to external systems unless you configure them. You retain control over what is labeled and logged, and you can disable logging at any time.

When multiple matches occur, the agent uses a priority order you can configure. It will apply the highest-priority label and reflect the decision in the Sheets log. If needed, you can review and adjust the mapping to resolve overlaps. You can also set a fallback category for ambiguous cases.
