# Connectors

> Connect your Gmail or Outlook so Mira can draft, send, and summarize email as part of a channel, right where the work happens.





Connectors link your own accounts to MiraDay, so the Agent can use them while it works inside a channel. The one most recruiters reach for first is email: connect your **Gmail** or **Outlook**, and Mira can draft, send, and summarize email as part of a channel, without you switching back and forth to your inbox.

Connect your email [#connect-your-email]

1. Open **Connectors** from **Settings**, or from the connectors menu in the channel input.
2. Find **Gmail** or **Outlook** and click **Connect**.
3. **Authorize** Mira when prompted. You're sent to sign in and grant access, then brought back.
4. Once connected, your mailbox is ready to use in any channel.

You can manage everything from the same page: the list is split into **Connected** and **Not Connected**, each connector's tools can be turned on or off individually, and some are marked **Approval** so they only run after you confirm. **Disconnect** at any time and its access is revoked right away; you can reconnect later.

What Mira can do with your email [#what-mira-can-do-with-your-email]

Once your mailbox is connected, ask Mira to work with email right inside a channel:

* **Draft.** Mira writes the email in the **Email Canvas**, with **To**, **Cc**, **Bcc**, **Subject**, and **Body** all editable inline, and you can add attachments. Review it and make any changes before it goes anywhere.
* **Send.** When the draft is ready, click **Send**. Mira asks you to confirm once more before anything leaves your mailbox, so nothing is sent until you approve it.
* **Forward.** Forward an email from within a channel. Its original attachments come along, and you can add your own before it goes out.
* **Read and summarize.** Point Mira at your inbox to pull in a long thread and get the gist, or catch up on what's come in, without leaving the channel.

Privacy and security [#privacy-and-security]

* Connectors use your own authorization. Mira uses a connected account only to do what you ask inside a channel.
* Nothing is sent without your confirmation, and you can disconnect a connector at any time from the Connectors page; its access is revoked right away.
* All data handling follows MiraDay's [Privacy Policy](/en/docs/match-quality-and-trust/privacy-policy).
