The Gmail integration lets each team member send and receive chat emails through their own Gmail or Google Workspace mailbox — so replies come from a real, familiar address rather than a shared system sender.
This is different from email parsing, which reads a mailbox to create leads. Gmail here is about conversations: sending and receiving customer email in the Inbox.

​
Connecting your mailbox

1

Open the Gmail integration

Settings → Integrations → Gmail → Configure, or connect your own mailbox from Settings → Profile → Gmail connection.
2

Sign in with Google

Choose the account you want to send and receive from.
3

Approve BOTH permissions

On Google’s consent screen you must approve both:
  • “Read your email messages”
  • “Send email on your behalf”
Without both, the connection cannot complete. Google’s screen lets you untick one — if you do, BeRocker will tell you permissions are missing and you will have to reconnect.
4

Test the connection

Test connection confirms Gmail is reachable and that both permissions were granted.

​
Connected accounts

The Gmail modal lists every connected mailbox in your organization, with a test and a disconnect action for each. If you see “Some accounts need to be reconnected”, one or more mailboxes lost their authorisation — Google revokes tokens when a password changes, when a Workspace admin changes policy, or after long inactivity. Reconnect them; those agents cannot send email until you do.

​
Using it

Once connected, add an email contact in Settings → Profile → User Contacts with Provider = Gmail and tick Is Default?. See Profile. Outbound emails then go through your mailbox, and replies come back into the conversation thread.

​
Gmail vs SendGrid and Mailgun

Most brokerages use both: a bulk provider for automated messages, and Gmail for the agent’s own replies. They coexist — each user contact picks its own provider.
