Integrations
Integrations let you connect outside services to Assure Pro. Today that means email — Gmail or Outlook — so messages between you and clients flow into the unified Communications inbox automatically.
Open Settings → Integrations. You’ll see a single section, Email, with cards for Gmail and Outlook.
Why connect your email
The Communications inbox shows messages from four channels — Email, SMS, Portal, and Internal. The Email channel only works when you connect a mailbox.
Without a connection:
- Emails you send from Assure Pro still go out (from the
assureone.aiaddress). - Incoming emails to your firm’s real address don’t appear in Assure Pro — they only land in your normal inbox.
- Replies break up: clients reply to your real address, and Assure Pro doesn’t see the response.
With a connection:
- Assure Pro checks your mailbox every few minutes for new messages.
- New emails appear in the Communications inbox, grouped by client (matched on email address).
- Replies you send from Assure Pro go out through your real mailbox, so clients see your real “from” address.
- Threads stay together across your inbox and Assure Pro.
Supported providers
| Provider | Supported? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | Yes | Works with personal Gmail and Google Workspace |
| Outlook | Yes | Works with Outlook.com and Microsoft 365. On-premise Exchange is not supported. |
| Other email providers | No | Custom connections are on the roadmap. |
Connect Gmail
Click Connect Gmail on the Gmail card. A Google sign-in window opens.
- Sign in to your Google account.
- Review what Assure Pro is asking for:
- Read messages so it can show your inbound mail
- Send messages so replies from Assure Pro go through your mailbox
- Manage labels so synced messages are tagged and don’t re-import
- Read profile so it can show your name on the connection card
- Click Allow.
- The window closes and the card updates to show “Connected” with your email address.
The first time you connect, Assure Pro pulls in your last 30 days of incoming messages — matched against existing clients by email address, dropped into threads, and tagged by intent. This usually finishes within a few minutes for a typical mailbox.

Connect Outlook
Same flow with Microsoft:
- Click Connect Outlook.
- Sign in to your Microsoft account.
- Review the requested access (read mail, send mail, read your profile).
- Click Allow.
- The card updates to “Connected.”
See your connection status
Once connected, each card shows:
| Element | What it means |
|---|---|
| Email address | The mailbox that’s connected |
| Status badge | Pending, Syncing, Connected, or Error |
| Last sync time | When Assure Pro last checked, in relative time |
| Message count | This week’s count, so you can sanity-check |
| Sync now | Force a fresh check right away |
| Disconnect | End the connection |
Status states
| State | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Just connected, first sync hasn’t run yet | Wait a minute |
| Syncing | First-time backfill in progress | Wait — time varies with mailbox size |
| Connected | Working normally | Nothing |
| Error | Connection broken (often a revoked or expired permission) | Disconnect and reconnect |
If a connection goes into Error, Assure Pro stops pulling new mail and sends you a notification. Replies you try to send through that mailbox will also fail until you reconnect.
How often Assure Pro checks
Assure Pro checks your mailbox automatically every few minutes. For Gmail, new messages typically appear within seconds of arrival. Click Sync now to force a check immediately.
Disconnect a mailbox
Click Disconnect on the card. Confirm the prompt:
Disconnect Gmail? Future emails won’t sync to Assure Pro. Existing messages in the inbox stay.
Confirming ends the connection. Future mail won’t sync, but the messages already in Assure Pro stay where they are.
If you reconnect the same mailbox later, Assure Pro starts a fresh 30-day backfill — older messages that weren’t synced the first time around won’t appear retroactively.

Common questions
Can I connect more than one mailbox per person? Not yet. One Gmail and one Outlook per user is the current cap. Multi-mailbox is on the roadmap.
Can each teammate connect their own mailbox? Yes. Each user connects their own, and the connection is private to them — only their messages flow into their view of the inbox.
Do drafts in my Gmail show up in Assure Pro? No — only sent and received messages.
Does Assure Pro pull my contacts or calendar? No — only email.
Can I send from a shared mailbox? Only if the connected account has Send-As permission on that mailbox. Configure that on your provider’s side first.
Privacy and security
| Detail | How it works |
|---|---|
| Access stored securely | Your connection details are encrypted using the same secure store as Firm credentials. |
| Silent refresh | Assure Pro renews its access in the background. Once a refresh expires, the connection goes into Error. |
| Message storage | Subject and body are stored in Assure Pro so you can search across mail. |
| Attachments | Stored securely, encrypted at rest. |
| Outbound mail | Sent through your normal mailbox provider — Assure Pro doesn’t relay through its own servers. |
| Sender authentication (SPF / DKIM) | Inherited from your mailbox — no extra setup. |
Disconnecting clears the stored access. Existing synced messages stay until you delete them manually.
Who can manage integrations
| Action | Who can do it |
|---|---|
| Open the Integrations page | Anyone with View integrations |
| Connect or disconnect a mailbox | Anyone with Manage integrations |
| Force a manual sync | Anyone with Manage integrations |
By default, only owners and admins have Manage integrations. Loosening it means giving someone the power to read your firm’s email — usually you don’t want that.
