Skip to contentEmail Channel Issues
1. Authorization Failure / Token Expired
- The Email channel uses Gmail OAuth; Google tokens expire after 6 months of inactivity by default.
- Panel → Channels → Email → Re-authorize.
2. Incoming Mail Not Processed
- Confirm the channel is enabled.
- Mail must match the channel's filter rules (sender, subject keyword, Label).
- Check whether Gmail auto-categorized it to "Promotions" or "Spam" — those aren't read.
3. AI Replies Not Sent
- Confirm authorization includes "send" (
gmail.send). Re-authorize and check send if only read was granted originally. - The recipient address must be valid; invalid addresses are bounced by Gmail.
- OAuth sending has daily limits (500/day for personal Gmail, 2000/day for Google Workspace).
4. Reply Threading Wrong / Missing
- By default the AI replies via "Reply" and needs an
In-Reply-To header to thread. - To start a new thread, explicitly tell the AI "reply as a new email".
5. Send From a Company Domain
- Personal Gmail can only send from
@gmail.com. To send from @yourcompany.com you must be a member of that Google Workspace domain. - The Workspace admin must allow third-party OAuth apps in the Admin Console first.
6. Attachment Handling
- When an inbound email has attachments, the AI parses them into readable content (PDF/image/document).
- Attachments above the per-file limit are skipped; the AI mentions it in its reply.
