How to connect Gmail and Circle
Create a New Scenario to Connect Gmail and Circle
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Gmail, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Gmail or Circle will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Gmail or Circle, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Gmail Node
Select the Gmail node from the app selection panel on the right.

Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Gmail, Circle, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Gmail and Circle integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail and Circle (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Gmail and Circle
Gmail + Google Sheets + Circle: When a new email with a specific label (e.g., 'Support Inquiry') arrives in Gmail, the email details are added to a Google Sheet for tracking. Then, a summary of the inquiry is posted in a dedicated Circle community space for team visibility.
Circle + Gmail + Zoom: When a new event is created in Circle, an email invitation is sent to all members using Gmail. The email includes a personalized Zoom meeting link created for the event to drive attendance.
