How Nickbox works
From sign-in to your first answer, and what happens behind each question.
You sign in with Google
We use your Google account to create your Nickbox account. We only read your name and email address at this step.
You connect each inbox
For every inbox, Google shows its own consent screen with a single read-only Gmail permission. You can connect inboxes from different Google Workspace organizations.
You give each inbox a nickname
We suggest one from the address (for example, billing for billing@yourcompany.com). Rename it any time. Nicknames use lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.
You add one link to your assistant
Paste the Nickbox link into your assistant as a custom connector (developers call it an MCP URL). Your assistant signs in once and sees all your inboxes by name.
Your assistant asks, Nickbox fetches
When you ask a question, the assistant calls a Nickbox tool such as search_emails with the nicknames it picked. We fetch the matching messages from Gmail and hand them back. Nothing from the message is stored.
For developers: the tools your assistant gets
list_accounts | Lists your inboxes by nickname and status. |
|---|---|
search_emails | Searches one, several or all inboxes with Gmail search syntax. |
read_email | Reads one message, including headers and text body. |
search_all_accounts | Runs the same search across every inbox and merges the results. |
list_labels | Lists the Gmail labels of one inbox. |
If an agent finds Nickbox for you
An agent can read our pricing and setup steps and point you to the sign-in link. It cannot sign in, start the trial or approve Gmail access for you. Those steps stay with you.
