SIA for Gmail

Send candidate emails as yourself, directly from SIA Chat

Without Gmail connected, emails drafted by SIA go out from a generic system address the candidate doesn't recognise, in a thread disconnected from your inbox. Connecting Gmail changes that — SIA sends it as you. Your name appears in the From field, the message lands in your Sent folder, and any reply comes straight back to your inbox. Candidates never see a no-reply address, and you never lose track of the conversation.

Connecting Gmail

Connecting Gmail

• In Chat, open Connectors from the sidebar

• Find the Gmail card and click Connect Gmail

• A Google sign-in tab opens — sign in with the account whose Gmail you want SIA to use

• Google shows you exactly what access is being requested (sending and reading email only). Review it and click Allow

• You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads Connected

NOTE: Google Calendar, Gmail, and Google Drive are each separate connections. Connecting one doesn't grant the others, and disconnecting one doesn't affect the rest.

What you can do once connected

Once Gmail is connected, SIA can handle candidate email the way you'd write it yourself — without retyping the same message each time:

• Draft emails using a candidate's actual context — their profile, interview notes, and match score all feed into what SIA writes, so the email isn't generic

• Send from your own address — with cc/bcc if needed, and replies threading correctly back into the same conversation

• Attach the candidate's resume automatically — no downloading from one place and re-uploading it into an email

• Save a draft instead of sending right away — SIA can leave it in your Gmail Drafts folder so you can review, tweak, or send it later

• Read a candidate's emailed attachments — for example, a take-home assignment they sent in and assess it as part of their evaluation

A few things to note

Nothing is ever sent without your approval. SIA always shows you the finished email — subject, body, and recipients — before it goes out. You review and confirm before anything is sent.

SIA can't search your whole mailbox. Reading is limited to a specific candidate's emails. For example, an attachment the candidate sent in.

Disconnecting Gmail

1. Go to Connectors in the sidebar

2. On the Gmail card, click Disconnect

This revokes Gmail access immediately. SIA can no longer send, read, or draft anything through your Gmail account until it's reconnected.
