How to connect Gmail and Kintone
Create a New Scenario to Connect Gmail and Kintone
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 Kintone will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Gmail or Kintone, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Gmail, Kintone, 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 Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail and Kintone (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 Kintone
Gmail + Kintone + Slack: When a new email arrives in Gmail, the flow checks if it requires a Kintone database entry. If so, it creates a new record in Kintone and sends a notification to a Slack channel.
Kintone + Google Sheets + Gmail: This automation summarizes Kintone data weekly. It retrieves data from Kintone, adds it to a Google Sheet, and then sends a summary report via email.
