How to connect Gmail and Vapi
Create a New Scenario to Connect Gmail and Vapi
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 Vapi will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Gmail or Vapi, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Gmail, Vapi, 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 Vapi integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail and Vapi (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 Vapi
Gmail + Vapi + Google Sheets: When a new email is received in Gmail, the flow checks if it contains Vapi call details. If found, the details are extracted and added as a new row in a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
Vapi + Gmail + Slack: When a call is missed in Vapi, and an email notification is sent via Gmail, a Slack message is sent to a designated channel to alert the team about the missed call.
