Connecting Your Email Inbox

To start sending outreach emails through SARAL, you’ll first need to connect your Google Workspace (GSuite) account. This is a simple two-step process:

1. Connect your Google Workspace domain — a one-time sign-in by your GSuite Admin.

2. Once connected, you can link as many inboxes under that domain as you’d like.

This allows SARAL to send emails directly from your Gmail account — no “sent via SARAL” label, just a personal message from your brand to the creator’s inbox.

Let’s walk through it step by step!

Step 1: One-Time Setup (for GSuite Admins)

Follow these steps if you’re using a GSuite (Google Workspace) account and are the admin:

1. Open the Google Admin Console and log in with your admin credentials.

2. Navigate to API Controls

   • Click Security

   • Go to Access and Data Control → API controls

3. Manage Third-Party App Access

   • Click on Manage Third-Party App Access.

   • Hit Configure New App

4. Add SARAL’s Client ID:

   • Paste this Client ID and click Search:

308432843578-onpa84s44va4ob4cdsiapu75kfgre867.apps.googleusercontent.com

5. Grant Access:

   • Select All Users

   • Under data access, choose “Trusted”

   • Click Continue, then Finish

Note that this is just a one-time step to be done by your admin. Once done, you can connect as many emails as you want using a simple "Sign in with Google" flow. Let's do that now

Step 2: Connect your Inbox Inside SARAL

Once the domain is approved, you can connect your own inbox:

1. In SARAL, dashboard, go to Settings → Connected Emails

2. Enter your Sender Name and Email Address in the popup

3. Click Connect Gmail Account

4. Sign in with your Google account

5. You’ll see a “Connected” confirmation – and you’re done!

What’s Next?

• You can now connect multiple inboxes under your domain.

• Add individual email signatures for each inbox — here’s how.

• Start sending email campaigns to Influencers! Alternative: Connecting a Personal Gmail Account

If you’re using a personal @gmail.com address, you can still connect it — but this method has some limitations, including:

• Less reliable email deliverability

• Less stable connection - possibility to disconnect from the platform

• Slightly more manual setup

We recommend this option only if you’re getting started quickly or don’t yet have access to a Google Workspace domain. For the best experience, we suggest upgrading to Workspace when possible.
