Yora + Gmail, AI that actually reads your inbox and remembers who matters

The short answer

The Yora Gmail integration uses Google OAuth to let Yora read your inbox, auto-extract contacts, draft replies in your voice, and surface the threads you still owe a response on.

What the integration does

Inbox context in every answer. Ask "what did Ahmed say about the Q3 numbers?" and Yora pulls the actual thread.

Auto-extract contacts. Yora parses who writes to you, who you write back to, and builds a contact graph with warmth and importance scores.

Drafting in your voice. "Draft a reply to Noura thanking her and confirming Tuesday." Yora writes from your style and memory.

Morning Pulse. Overnight emails summarized. The one that matters flagged. Nothing generic.

Thread continuity. Yora uses proper In-Reply-To headers so replies thread correctly, critical for professional correspondence.

How to connect

1. Open Yora → Integrations → Gmail → Connect 2. Grant read and send scopes via Google OAuth 3. Yora runs an initial sync (~2 minutes for a typical inbox) 4. New messages flow in via 15-minute polling

Data and privacy

Storage. OAuth tokens encrypted in Supabase (EU region), row-level-secured to your user ID.
Scope. Read and send. Yora never sends without your explicit confirmation.
Cache. Messages cached for up to 60 minutes in integration_cache for speed. Cleared on disconnect.
Deletion. Disconnect Gmail → tokens and cache are deleted within 24 hours.

Cache and sync model

Yora reads from a 30–60 minute cache rather than hitting Gmail live on every question. This keeps answers fast. You can force a fresh sync at any time from the integration settings.

What you can ask with Gmail connected

"What did Ahmed email about last week?"
"Who emailed me that I haven't replied to yet?"
"Draft a reply to the last message from Noura."
"Summarize my inbox from overnight."
"Has anyone from Saudi replied about the partnership?"

Example Pulse using Gmail

"Noura replied at 11pm, she's asking for the revised SOW by Wednesday. The previous draft is in Drive. Want me to open it and prep a reply?"

Troubleshooting

Scopes missing. Re-authenticate from Integrations → Gmail. Search is empty. Force a fresh sync from settings. Aliases. If you send from multiple aliases, list them in your profile so Yora recognizes outgoing threads.
