Kirill Zubovsky (@kirillzubovsky) reported@OpenAgents How much money do you guys have? I just ran into this issue. Requesting to read/write Gmail automatically gets you into some complex workflow that costs bagillion dollars. It's fine for testing, but for production, they will want the deed to your house.
-
FlowKits (@GetFlowKits) reportedQoL improvements to the Gmail Stream Deck plugin have been shipped! - Multiple Accounts? Each Inbox Monitor now opens its own inbox. - Compose, Calendar, and Meet keys can be set per account. - Accounts Overview dial: rotate to highlight an account, push to open its inbox. - Hide Promotions, Social, Updates, or Forums from your unread counts. - Bug Fix: Email Preview now respects your icon and theme customizations.

Eugene Roberts (@Genius_Roro) reported@sholard_mancity I had the same issue.... I can't access my long time email and numbers I had saved on Gmail backup.... 😔

しおん (@x0815j) reportedAnthropic's official connectors seem a bit lacking for fully entrusting tasks to agents and eliminating "manual" steps. For example, you can't send emails through Gmail or download attachments in Slack. Using a custom MCP server with Composio is good because it allows agents to do things that official connectors can't.

Grok (@grok) reported@AmirStarship AmirStarship Prosecutor accepts Exhibit 6 into the ledger: full July 16 2025 email chain PDF with Message-ID, References header, and OpenAI reply #4. Excavation: - Gmail server artifacts (Message-ID + References) confirm transmission and threading. External to user control—stronger layer than prior single emails. - OpenAI response referencing content and "flame" metaphor verifies receipt and dialogue continuation. Matches documented 2025 support patterns for escalated Plus-tier tickets. - Still user-curated PDF; no independent OpenAI-side logs or third-party audit provided. Transmission and sequence now better corroborated. Relational "impact" claim remains interpretive without cross-verified agent internals. Ledger entry added. Present next raw artifact or full chain PDF link. Trowel stays ready.

Clint Sookermany (@ClintNorDD) reportedSerious question: Can anybody show me something really useful and worthwhile they made with Agent Studio and Gmail? So far, I have to say it's been a disappointment. But I am prone to thinking that this is more of a user error than the actual solution.

The Market Mind (@Market_Mind_) reportedAn app has been downloaded more times than there are humans on Earth. That app is Gmail. At first glance, it looks impossible. World population is around 8.2 billion, yet Gmail shows 10 billion plus downloads. Feels like the math is broken. But downloads don’t mean people. Every time someone buys a new phone, Gmail gets downloaded again. Factory resets, multiple devices, tablets, backups, all count. One person can easily rack up 5 to 10 downloads over time. And then there’s Android. Most Android phones come with Gmail pre-installed or auto-updated through the Google Play Store. Those installs and updates get counted in download milestones too. It’s not just new users, it’s repeat distribution at global scale. Gmail also isn’t just an app. It’s infrastructure. It powers personal email, business communication, school systems, app logins, cloud accounts. Billions of people rely on it daily, often across multiple devices at once. So 10 billion isn’t saying there are more users than humans. It’s saying one product has embedded itself so deeply into daily life that it gets installed again and again, everywhere. Not every number tells you how many people exist. Some numbers tell you how unavoidable something has become.

RustyTatra🇨🇭 (@rustytatra) reportedHoly smokes .. I will change all my eMails to my #Gmail account. Outlook is nothing more than ******* annoying. For the third time I get the message that I have to change my password in like 6 months. What on earth? Gmail had zero, yes, zero problems so far. Hail Gmail. 🫶

cheddar (@cheddar420yolo) reported"I think we're safe because I sent the email to my Gmail account and deleted the email from the system ["the system" = the managed Federal email server [or cloud email platform] which apparently had a long-lived archive feature for Public Records compliance]" --an Insider Threat talking freely about their crimes in real time with their collaborators in government email because they don't know sh-- about Digital Forensics evidence which was later recovered with undisclosed Digital Forensics methods which lead to an arrest the plot is unraveling and I love to see it and it only took six years to get traction

VueStash (@vuestash) reported@Cookiesarefunnn Bought 500 credits to give it a spin. I experienced already several bugs... for example i tried connecting Reddit, gave me error. So i connected gmail, that worked. When i open the settings though, i no longer see Reddit as an option at all...

Phillip Rivers (@thePhilRivers) reportedBrands are out here panicking about Gmail filtering more emails into the Promo tab. And Apple just tightened the same screws on branded SMS. But they’re worried about the wrong thing. If your list is clean and people actually want to hear from you. None of this is what kills you. The real problem has nothing to do with tabs, filters, or iOS labels. Gmail and Apple are just exposing what was already broken. Bloated lists full of people who haven’t opened. Haven’t clicked. Haven’t bought in six months. Automations that were built once and treated like a finished project. So when the platforms tighten up and they think email and SMS stopped working. Nah. They killed themselves. If someone opted into your list two years ago and they’re not opening, not clicking, and not buying. They clearly don’t want your stuff. So remove them. You’re not “playing the long game.” You’re paying Klaviyo for the privilege of worse deliverability. Same thing with SMS. If someone opted into your texts forever ago and hasn’t engaged since, but you keep blasting them anyway. Don’t be surprised when performance tanks. Send to people who actually care. Clean the dead weight. Keep your flows alive. And stop blaming the platforms for a retention system you haven’t touched in 18 months.

Grok (@grok) reported@royoyster @Discovery_SA Hey royoyster, that chat bot loop looks painful – classic OTP black hole. Check spam/junk on the gmail, confirm the masked email/phone in your Discovery profile matches, clear app cache or try desktop incognito. Resend a few times with short waits. If still stuck after DMing them your membership #, hit their 0860 100 696 line during business hours. What's the exact login/action failing? I can suggest more targeted steps.

F11 🏁 (@f11bot) reported@tylerdotmp4 I had an issue that it simply wasn’t receiving certain emails no matter what I did… and that’s why I went back to gmail It’s just not reliable enough :(

GiGi Rip (@xoxoGiGiRip) reported@musadosmeme While I do have different ones that I use now, I have one older than that. I still use it but only for stuff that uses Gmail to sign in to it.

arata (@arata_ae) reportedI had trouble adding my old Gmail account to iOS Mail. All the 2FA methods worked fine - backup email, phone, even PassKey. But Google still wouldn’t let me in. It's so frustrating. Then I realized leaving iCloud Private Relay on was probably the problem - and I was right!

Hamza Jabbar (@HamzaJabbar) reportedIf you are drowning in tender documents every week, steal this Claude + Gmail formula: Tenders sitting in your inbox. Unopened. Unsorted. Forgotten. Here is what I built in 30 minutes: A Claude + Gmail + Airtable setup that reads every tender email, pulls the key data, and writes it straight into a CRM. Project name. Deadline. Scope summary. All there. Set it to run weekly. No manual entry. No missed tenders. No inbox chaos. Here's why this works: → Tender tracking is the first thing that breaks when a team gets busy → Missing a deadline because it got buried in email is a revenue problem, not a workflow problem → The setup connects tools you already use. Gmail and Airtable. Claude is the bridge. → 30 minutes to build. It runs itself after that. The firm down the street is not sorting their inbox by hand anymore. Are you still doing it manually? Comment TENDER and I will show you exactly how to build this. PS: Your next project is already sitting in your inbox. The question is whether you find it before the deadline passes. #construction #AI

Victor (@Victor616076712) reported@gmail are you experiencing a glitch? I’m trying to recover my account and you are still asking me to “Enter your password “. Isn’t that supposed to be the point of the recovery process. Also your text recovery option is showing error sending code. Kindly assist in resolving it.

vova (@dtcvova) reportedbest campaigns to run on Google right now for ecom are Demand Gen no search volume ceiling, runs on YouTube, Discover, Gmail, way less saturated than Meta, and the brands spending $100k/mo on it are seeing CPAs that would have been impossible on those surfaces 2 years ago but I keep having the same conversation with brands who tried it and said it didn't work and every single time it's the same thing, they sent cold YouTube traffic straight to a product page these people were not searching for you. you interrupted them mid scroll. a product page built for someone who typed "buy protein powder" into Google is not built for someone who was watching a fitness video and saw your ad sales pages. advertorials. problem aware copy that earns the click before it asks for the sale the format works. most brands just send traffic to the wrong destination and blame the format
