1. Add the Gmail connector in the Xkit platform.

  • In the Xkit platform, click "New connector" in the sidebar or at the bottom of the "Connectors" screen.

  • Click "Add" and then "Save".

4. Complete the Xkit connection setup.

  • Back in the Xkit platform, fill out the Catalog Settings page and click "Save".
  • On the next page, select the same permissions/scopes you entered into Gmail and click "Save".

You've now successfully connected Gmail with Xkit!
