## Setup
-Due to the sensitive nature of email communication, the Gmail integration requires a secure connection between Botpress and Gmail. To establish this secure connection, you need to configure the Gmail integration using OAuth.
-
-
-
- ### Automatic configuration is temporarily unavailable
-
- The Gmail integration is currently undergoing a verification process by Google. This means the option to automatically configure your Gmail integration is temporarily unavailable.
-
- You can still set up the integration using [manual configuration](#manual-configuration).
-
- {/* ### Automatic configuration with OAuth
-
- To set up the Gmail integration using OAuth, click the authorization button and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Botpress bot to Gmail.
-
- When using this configuration mode, a Botpress-managed Gmail application will be used to connect to your Gmail account. However, actions taken by the bot will be attributed to the user who authorized the connection, rather than the application. For this reason, **we don't recommend using personal Gmail accounts** for this integration. You should set up a service account and use this account to authorize the connection.
-
- #### Configuring the integration in Botpress
-
- 1. Authorize the Gmail integration by clicking the authorization button.
- 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Botpress bot to Gmail.
- 3. Once the connection is established, you can save the configuration and enable the integration. */}

## Limitations
-
- Botpress shall not be held responsible for any costs you may incur on the Google Cloud Platform while using the Gmail integration, should you choose to use the manual configuration mode. Ensure that you are aware of the costs associated with using the Gmail API and the Google Cloud Platform before using the manual configuration mode.
-
-
- Standard Gmail API limitations apply to the Gmail integration in Botpress. These limitations include rate limits, message size restrictions, and other constraints imposed by the Gmail and Google Cloud platforms. Ensure that your bot adheres to these limitations to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
