Cheerful + Gmail integration
Connecting Gmail lets Cheerful send influencer outreach, follow-ups and replies from your own Gmail or Google Workspace address, and read the replies that come back, so every creator conversation happens in a real inbox that creators recognize while Cheerful drafts the next message for you.
Gmail is the core native integration; the product is built around it. Why sending from your own domain is safe, and how to keep it that way, is in is it safe to send influencer outreach from Gmail.
How influencer teams use Gmail with Cheerful
Outreach that looks like it came from a person
Pitches go out from your mailbox, one at a time, with your signature. Creators reply to a human address, not a no-reply platform domain.
Follow-ups that stop themselves
By default Cheerful sends up to three follow-ups three days apart, and stops the moment a creator replies. Follow-ups can also be cancelled once the creator posts.
Many mailboxes for one team
Connect several teammates’ inboxes, or have a Workspace admin add many mailboxes at once through domain-wide delegation, so volume is spread instead of piled on one address.
A reply draft waiting in the inbox
When a creator answers, the reply shows up in Cheerful within a couple of minutes with a draft that already knows the campaign, the offer and the thread.
What the Gmail integration does
Cheerful asks Google only for permission to send mail, modify and label messages, and read your basic profile.
- Sends outreach, follow-ups and replies from your own address
- Syncs your inbox by polling Gmail history about every two minutes
- Supports Google Workspace domain-wide delegation for bulk mailboxes
- Caps each Gmail mailbox at 400 sends per rolling 24 hours
- Stops follow-ups when a creator replies
How to connect Gmail to Cheerful
- 1
In Cheerful, open Settings and connect a mailbox with Google sign-in.
- 2
For a whole team on Workspace, an admin can grant domain-wide delegation and add many mailboxes at once, set up with Cheerful’s help.
- 3
Choose which connected mailboxes each campaign sends from.
What the Gmail integration does not do
- Sending limits apply per mailbox: 400 a day on Gmail. Cold volume beyond that belongs on a separate warmed domain, which Cheerful can register for you on a paid plan.
- Inbox sync is polling, not instant push, so a reply can take a couple of minutes to appear.
- Microsoft 365 mailboxes connect through SMTP and IMAP, not through this Google sign-in. See Cheerful + Outlook.
Cheerful and Gmail: common questions
- Does Cheerful send emails from my Gmail?
- Yes. Outreach, follow-ups and replies are sent from your connected Gmail or Google Workspace address, and replies are synced back so Cheerful can draft answers.
- How many emails a day can Cheerful send from one Gmail account?
- Cheerful caps each Gmail mailbox at 400 sends in any rolling 24 hours. Most teams send far fewer per mailbox and spread volume across several.
- Can Cheerful read my whole inbox?
- Cheerful syncs the mailbox so it can match creator replies to campaigns. It asks only for send, modify and label access, not for your Google Drive, Calendar or contacts.
