Connecting Gmail

Closr drafts emails for you, sends them through your Gmail (not a generic address), and parses inbound replies into the right contact thread. To do that, you connect your Gmail through Google's standard OAuth screen. Closr is a Google-verified app, so it's a clean sign-in and consent — no "unverified app" warning page. This guide walks you through it and explains the four scopes.

The exact click-through

1. 1In Closr, go to **Settings → Integrations**. Click **Connect** next to Google. A small modal lists the permissions Closr is asking for. Click **Continue**.
2. 2Sign in with the Google account you want Closr to use.
3. 3Google shows its consent screen listing the scopes Closr is requesting (below). Review them and click **Continue** / **Allow**.
4. 4Google sends you back to Closr's Integrations page. The Google row now says **Connected** with a green check, and your inbox starts syncing within a few minutes.

That's it. Closr never sees your Google password — Google handles the login itself.

What Closr is asking for, and why

Four scopes, no extras:

• •**gmail.readonly**: read inbound email so replies thread into the right contact and drafts know your conversation history. Read-only — Closr cannot delete your mail or touch your labels, folders, or read states.
• •**gmail.send**: send email from your own address, so outbound goes out as you. Without these two, the inbox half of Closr doesn't work.
• •**calendar**: Closr creates calendar events for showings and appointments, and reads your existing events to avoid double-booking. Same Google grant covers it. See the Calendar Sync guide.
• •**openid / userinfo.email / userinfo.profile**: Closr needs to know which Google account you connected. No other profile data is read.

What we don't ask for: your Google Contacts, permission to modify or delete anything in your mailbox, IMAP/SMTP full access, calendar sharing permissions, or anything outside the four above.

What changes once you're connected

• •Inbound emails from your contacts (and from human senders Closr doesn't already know) parse into the right thread. Bulk senders (no-reply, mailing lists, marketing platforms) are filtered out so your CRM doesn't fill with junk.
• •Outbound chat-drafted emails go through your Gmail, from your address. The recipient sees your normal "from" name and signature.
• •BrokerBay, ShowingTime, and Realtor.ca confirmation emails auto-route into Showings and Leads. No extra setup.
• •Your calendar starts syncing both directions.
