Connect your Gmail
Bondr connects to Gmail through Google sign-in. When you first sign up, a setup wizard walks you through everything.
Onboarding steps
- Sign in with Google — Click "Sign in with Google" on the login page. This grants Bondr permission to read and send emails on your behalf.
- Choose your email mode — Pick Shared (your team sees the same inbox) or Individual (each member has their own inbox).
- Connect Gmail — Authorize your Gmail account. This is required for both modes.
- Name your workspace — Give your workspace a name (e.g., your company or team name).
- Invite your team (optional) — Send invitations to teammates by email.
Once complete, you're taken straight to your inbox.
How email sync works
After setup, Bondr syncs your emails in two ways:
- Initial sync — Your existing emails are imported in the background. This may take a few minutes depending on your inbox size.
- Real-time sync — New incoming emails appear automatically through Gmail push notifications. No manual refresh needed.
