The Gmail connector links your Google mailbox to LeadLex so your emails appear on the contacts, companies and deals they belong to. Its status is Live. Each person connects their own mailbox, and nobody can connect one for you.

## Connect Gmail

1. Open **Settings** and choose **Email & Calendar**.
2. Under **Connected Accounts**, choose **Connect Google**.
3. Sign in to Google and approve the access LeadLex asks for.
4. You return to **Email & Calendar** with the account showing **Connected**.

The same Google connection also carries Google Calendar. See [Connect Google Calendar](/help/connectors/google-calendar).

## What each switch does

Three switches on the account decide what LeadLex uses.

| Switch | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Email** | Syncs your emails. Turning it on starts a sync of the last 90 days. Google also asks for permission to send email on your behalf. |
| **Calendar** | Syncs calendar events in both directions. |
| **Contacts** | Lets you import contacts from the account. |

Emails with people already in your CRM are matched to their records. Mail from addresses under **Blocked Senders** is not synced.

## Sync by hand

Under each switch you see when it last synced. Choose **Sync now** to run it straight away. If a sync fails, the red **Sync error** link shows why.

## Disconnect

Choose **Disconnect** on the account. Emails already synced stay in LeadLex and no new ones arrive. You can reconnect at any time.

## What happens next

If the account later shows **Reconnect Required**, follow [Reconnect an expired connection](/help/troubleshooting/reconnect-an-expired-connection). For mail that does not arrive, see [Email is not syncing](/help/troubleshooting/email-sync-not-working).
