Connecting your Gmail inbox to Aspire allows you to send and receive communications from your brand email address directly on the platform. It also allows you to invite people to your projects and reach out to new people that you're interested in collaborating with.

We will only sync your emails with members in Aspire, so no need to worry about your personal correspondence showing up. We can even block specific domains from the sync for further privacy, just let us know!

πŸ’‘ Before you proceed, please review the requirements below to ensure your email is ready to connect to Aspire.

  • Inbox must have its own password

  • Cannot be an email alias

  • Cannot be a Google group email
