Enabling Gmail Integration with Spotlight.ai

Last updated: November 3, 2026

Overview

Spotlight.ai supports Gmail integration. When enabled, Spotlight.ai analyzes your incoming emails and automatically associates relevant messages with the appropriate opportunities in Spotlight.ai. Suppose an email is identified as related to an existing opportunity. In that case, it will be analyzed, and the relevant information will be added to the opportunity record, along with evidence from the email.

How to Enable Gmail Integration

Step 1: Grant Google Permissions

  1. Navigate to the installation page: https://app.spotlight.ai/oauth2/authorization/google-email-readonly

  2. Choose the Google account you want to connect (your work email).

  3. Review the information Spotlight.ai will access on the Google sign-in screen: your name, profile picture, and email address. Then select Continue.

  4. On the next screen, Google asks what Spotlight.ai can access. Select the checkbox next to View your email messages and settings, then select Continue. The checkbox is not selected by default, and Spotlight.ai cannot read your emails unless you select it.

  5. After you approve, you will be redirected back to Spotlight.ai at https://app.spotlight.ai.

Once completed, email integration is active.

Email Reading (Read Only)

This permission allows Spotlight.ai to read your emails without making any changes to your mailbox. It is required to analyze emails within Spotlight.ai, and it is the only Gmail permission Spotlight.ai requests. Spotlight.ai cannot modify, label, or delete your emails.

Alternative Method: Forwarding Emails Manually

If you prefer not to enable the Google integration, you can manually forward emails to Spotlight.ai for analysis using a Spotlight.ai designated mailbox.

These forwarded emails will be analyzed, and the information and evidence will be added to the appropriate opportunities when possible.
