CONNECTOR
GmailGmail connector
Triage priority threads, draft the next reply, and keep founder follow-through moving from one workflow.
Runner wires Gmail through the backend `gmail` toolkit and adds workflow-specific tools for inbox triage, no-reply follow-up, commitment tracking, and relationship check-ins.
Gmail in real workflows
The app page is only useful if it shows how Gmail fits into a real job. This preview is pulled from the live workflow pages that already use the connector.

Why it's better
Gmail is more useful inside a workflow
- Prioritize the inbox before you start writing.
- Draft, revise, and send replies with thread context already loaded.
- Turn relationship-heavy email into follow-up drafts, check-ins, and tracked commitments.

These examples are grounded in the real Runner backend connector definitions and connector guidance docs, not generic marketing filler.
Gmail
Rank the inbox before you respond
gmail_top_emails_today
Get the most important inbox emails from the last 7 days, scored by priority.
"Show me the top inbox threads that need founder follow-through today."
Runner surfaces the threads worth acting on first instead of making you triage manually.
Gmail
Create a reviewable reply draft
gmail_draft_reply
Create a draft reply in an existing email thread so the user can review and send from Gmail.
"Draft a concise reply that confirms timing, answers the pricing question, and keeps the thread warm."
The next reply is prepared with the real thread context already attached.
Gmail
Catch sent emails that never got a reply
gmail_follow_up_no_reply
Find sent emails with no reply after N days and create follow-up drafts for review.
"Find investor emails older than 7 days with no reply and draft the nudge for me."
Runner turns forgotten sent mail into ready-to-review follow-up instead of letting it die in the outbox.
Gmail
Track promises and loose ends
gmail_commitments_tracker
Workflow preset that identifies likely commitments, promises, and unresolved follow-through in email.
"Scan the last 10 days of founder email and list the commitments I made that still need action."
You get a focused commitments list instead of rereading every thread.
Gmail
Spot relationships that need a check-in
gmail_relationship_checkins
Workflow preset that identifies contacts who may need outreach based on message history.
"Who in my network looks overdue for a check-in based on the last month of email?"
Runner highlights the relationships that are cooling off before they go silent.
