Connecting Your Gmail account

To fully utilize MailMentor and its features, it's crucial to connect your Gmail account. This section will walk you through the process step by step.

1: Visit the account page

Start by visiting the MailMentor account page. Make sure you're logged into your MailMentor account.

2: Locate the "Email / Calendar Accounts" section

Once you're on the account page, scroll down to find the "Email / Calendar Accounts" section. This is where you'll manage your connected email accounts.

3: Click "Connect to Google"

In the "Email / Calendar Accounts" section, you will see a "Connect" button. Click on it to begin the Gmail connection process.

4: Sign in with your Google account

A new window will open asking you to sign in with your Google account. Enter your Gmail address and password, then click "Next." If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you'll need to complete that step as well.

5: Grant the necessary permissions to MailMentor

After signing in with your Google account, you will be prompted to grant MailMentor access to your Gmail account.

It's essential to understand why these permissions are required, as they enable the platform to function effectively and provide you with the best experience.

The permissions requested include:

1. Access to your calendar: MailMentor requires access to your calendar to offer the "availability injection" feature. By reading your calendar events and appointments, the platform can automatically detect and insert your available time slots into emails, making it easier for recipients to schedule meetings or calls with you.
2. Draft and send messages: This permission is vital for MailMentor's core functionality. By granting this access, you allow the platform to create and send personalized emails on your behalf. It also enables MailMentor to save email drafts, allowing you to review and make changes before sending them out.

These permissions help MailMentor deliver its full range of features, streamlining your sales process and ensuring that your communications are personalized and efficient. To grant these permissions, review the access request carefully and click "Allow" if you agree. Once granted, MailMentor can fully integrate with your Gmail account and provide the services it was designed for.

Once you've completed these steps, your Gmail account will be connected to MailMentor. You can now begin leveraging the platform's powerful features to optimize your sales outreach and enhance your messaging.
