# How do I connect email and calendar?

> Connect Gmail or Outlook to Klipy with OAuth — no password needed. Calendars are included automatically. Step-by-step email and calendar setup.

Connecting email is the step that unlocks Klipy. Once Gmail or Outlook is linked, Klipy builds your contact graph, reconstructs conversation history, and starts generating follow-up drafts and to-dos. Calendar access comes automatically with the same OAuth—no separate step.

Klipy uses **OAuth** throughout. You never share your email password with Klipy.

## Gmail

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Email settings">
    In the Klipy app, go to **Settings → Channels → Email**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Gmail">
    Click **Connect** (or **Connect Gmail**). Choose the Google Workspace or personal account you use for customer conversations.

    Complete Google's consent screen. Klipy requests:

    * **Read** access to your mail, so it can process conversation intelligence.
    * **Send** access—used only when you explicitly **approve a draft**. Nothing sends automatically.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and let import run">
    After authorization, Gmail stays linked until you disconnect. Historical import begins in the background—see [Importing data](/docs/guides/importing-data) for timeline and scope.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Outlook / Microsoft 365

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Email settings">
    Go to **Settings → Channels → Email**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Outlook">
    Click **Connect** (or **Connect Outlook**). Sign in with your Microsoft work or personal account and approve the permissions shown.

    <Frame caption="Screenshot coming soon: Settings → Channels → Email panel, Outlook variant">
      <div style={{padding:'2.5rem 1rem',textAlign:'center',border:'1px dashed currentColor',borderRadius:'12px',opacity:0.55}}>Screenshot coming soon</div>
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and let import run">
    Once connected, Outlook mail stays linked until you disconnect. Recent history is imported automatically ([Importing data](/docs/guides/importing-data)).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **Organizational Microsoft accounts** often require an administrator to allow third-party OAuth apps. If sign-in fails or your tenant blocks the app, ask **IT** to approve Klipy before retrying.
</Warning>

## Calendar

Calendar access is bundled with your email connection—there is no separate calendar-only flow.

* **Gmail** → includes **Google Calendar** for the same account.
* **Outlook** → includes **Outlook Calendar** for the same Microsoft account.

Once your email is connected, open **Calendar** in Klipy and confirm upcoming events appear. Events with Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams links will be picked up by the [notetaker](/docs/guides/connecting-notetaker) automatically.

<Frame caption="Screenshot coming soon: Calendar view with synced upcoming events">
  <div style={{padding:'2.5rem 1rem',textAlign:'center',border:'1px dashed currentColor',borderRadius:'12px',opacity:0.55}}>Screenshot coming soon</div>
</Frame>

<Note>
  If you want calendar-based meeting capture without email, contact support—the standard path requires an email connection first.
</Note>

## What happens after you connect

* Your contact graph builds from recent threads (usually visible within a few minutes).
* Klipy filters incoming email for sales signals and suppresses noise—read [What Klipy captures](/docs/guides/capture) for full details on what is and isn't stored.
* Follow-up drafts, to-dos, and meeting prep start generating as activity arrives.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Klipy read all my email?">
    No. Every incoming message passes an intelligence filter. Marketing mail, billing receipts, internal chatter, and spam are discarded. Only messages with real sales signal—engaged replies, meeting requests, objections, new stakeholders—are processed. Raw email bodies are not stored; Klipy stores structured intelligence extracted from them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What data does Klipy store from my email?">
    Klipy stores a structured summary of each qualifying message—not the full text. This includes a brief summary, conversation type, sentiment, main intent, open questions, and buying signals. See [What Klipy captures](/docs/guides/capture) for the complete list.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Klipy send email on my behalf?">
    Only when you approve it. Klipy drafts follow-up suggestions, but nothing leaves your account until you review and explicitly approve the draft inside the app.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is Klipy similar to Fyxer for email AI?">
    Both tools bring AI to your inbox. Klipy's focus is CRM intelligence: it extracts relationship context from email to build a deal pipeline, generate follow-up drafts, and track conversations—not inbox management or triage. If you use email primarily for sales, Klipy surfaces what matters for each deal rather than reorganizing your inbox.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need admin approval to connect Gmail?">
    Personal Google accounts connect immediately. Google Workspace accounts may show a screen asking for admin approval if your org restricts third-party app access. Check with IT before connecting if you're on a managed Workspace account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I connect multiple email accounts?">
    Klipy supports one primary email connection per user. If you need multi-inbox support, contact support.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I disconnect email?">
    Klipy stops processing new mail. Existing intelligence (contacts, summaries, drafts) remains in your workspace. Reconnecting re-enables live capture but does not re-import history already processed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Klipy work with Google Workspace and personal Gmail?">
    Yes. Both personal (`@gmail.com`) and Workspace accounts work with the same Gmail OAuth flow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is Klipy different from a traditional CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot for email?">
    Traditional CRMs require you to log emails manually or use BCC plugins. Klipy reads and processes email automatically, extracting deal intelligence without data entry. It's designed for the owner-seller who can't afford to spend time on CRM admin.
