Connecting Gmail to Reachkit

Inbox Setup

This guide covers how to connect your Gmail or Google Workspace account to Reachkit.

For Personal Gmail Accounts

Personal Gmail (@gmail.com) accounts connect with an App Password. IMAP is always on for Gmail, so there is nothing to enable first.

  1. Set up App Password

    • Enable 2-Step Verification in your Google Account
    • Go to App Passwords
    • Enter a name for the app password, such as “Reachkit”, and create it
    • Copy the 16-character password

  2. Connect in Reachkit

    • Choose the App Password option
    • Enter your Gmail address
    • Paste the 16-character App Password
    • Click Continue

For Google Workspace Accounts

Google Workspace accounts connect with OAuth. App Passwords are not an option here: Google discontinued IMAP and App Password sign-in for Workspace accounts in 2025, so OAuth is the only supported method.

  1. Administrator Setup

    • In your Google Workspace Admin console, go to Security > Access and data control > API controls
    • In the App access control card, click Manage app access, then Configure new app
    • Search for Reachkit using this Client ID: 677659407288-qa75fegbors3dhkt0na910ma0bqkoo51.apps.googleusercontent.com
    • Select Reachkit, choose who it applies to (your whole domain or an organizational unit), set access to Trusted, and click Finish
    • If someone in your organization already signed in with Reachkit, it may already be in the list of accessed apps. Open it there and set it to Trusted

  2. Connect in Reachkit

    • Choose the OAuth 2.0 option
    • Click Connect Gmail Account
    • Sign in with your Workspace account
    • Accept the permissions

Troubleshooting

  • For App Password issues (personal Gmail), generate a new one
  • For OAuth issues (Workspace), ensure the Reachkit app is approved in your Admin console
