How to connect Lark and Gmail
Create a New Scenario to Connect Lark and Gmail
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Lark, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Lark or Gmail will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Lark or Gmail, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Lark Node
Select the Lark node from the app selection panel on the right.

- 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 Lark, Gmail, 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 Lark and Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Lark and Gmail (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Lark and Gmail
Lark + Gmail + Google Calendar: When a new message is received in a Lark group chat, find users in Lark by email, then create a Google Calendar event and send an email invitation via Gmail to the found users.
Gmail + Lark + Slack: When a new email arrives in Gmail, send the email content to a dedicated Lark group chat. Subsequently, post a summary of the email to a Slack channel.
