📬 Connecting Your Google Mail Account to Client Hub

Manage and act on emails from right inside your workflow.

Client Hub’s email integration lets you connect your Gmail account to centralize communications and take action on client emails directly in the platform. Follow the steps below to securely connect your Google Mail account.

⚙️ Before You Begin: Enable IMAP Access in Gmail

(If you do not see this option in your Gmail skip to the next step)

You may need to enable IMAP access in your Gmail settings before connecting your account to Client Hub.

To do this:

1. Open your Gmail account.
2. Click the Settings gear icon (top right, next to your profile picture), then select See all settings.
3. Go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
4. In the IMAP Access section, select Enable IMAP.
5. Click Save Changes at the bottom.

🔑 Step 1: Start the Connection in Client Hub

1. Click the Inbox icon from the left-hand navigation.
2. Click the Connect Account button.
3. Select Google as your provider.

Before you can proceed, you’ll need to create a special App Password in your Google account.

🔐 Step 2: Generate a Google App Password

⚠️ Important: App Passwords require 2-Step Verification (2FA) to be enabled on your Google account. If it’s not already turned on, follow the steps below.

To enable 2-Step Verification:

1. Open a new browser tab and go to myaccount.google.com.
2. Ensure you’re signed into the Google account you want to connect.
3. Click Security in the left-hand menu.
4. Under “How You Sign in to Google,” click 2-Step Verification and follow the setup instructions.

If you're part of a Google Workspace account, your Google admin must enable 2FA for your user. Click here for admin instructions.

🔄 Step 3: Create the App Password

Once 2FA is enabled:

1. Return to the Security section of your Google account.
2. Scroll down to the App Passwords section.
3. In the Select App dropdown, choose Other (Custom Name).
4. Enter a label like "Client Hub Email" and click Generate.
5. A 16-character password will appear—copy it immediately. You won't be able to view it again.

💡TIP: If you can not find the App Password section, you can use the search option at the top of the page

✅ Step 4: Finish Setup in Client Hub

1. Go back to the Inbox setup screen in Client Hub.
2. Paste the 16-character App Password into the Application Password field.
3. Click Test Connection.

• If successful, click Connect to finalize the setup.
