Relay

Your Gmail inbox, delivered as Slack DMs. Reply, archive, snooze, and search — without switching tabs.

What's in the box

Everything you need to manage email from the chat tool your team already lives in.

- 01
One Slack DM per email
Every matching email lands as a structured Slack DM — sender, subject, and optional body preview — with inline buttons. Mark as Read toggles in place; Open in Gmail takes you straight there.
- 02
Reply, reply-all, forward from Slack
A full compose modal opens from any email notification. Pick a saved quick-reply template to prefill the body, edit, and send — without opening Gmail.
- 03
Snooze, label, and archive
Snooze an email to a specific time and Relay re-surfaces it automatically. Archive or label directly from the Actions menu — changes sync to Gmail instantly.
- 04
/gmail search from any channel
Type /gmail is:unread, /gmail from:person@company.com, or /gmail has:attachment in any channel or DM. Results arrive in Slack with action buttons on each match.
- 05
Per-user settings panel
Each teammate controls their own experience from the Relay Home tab: which labels to monitor, which categories to skip (Promotions, Social, Updates, Forums), which action buttons to show, and whether to display a body preview.
- 06
Smart noise filtering
Gmail Pub/Sub push keeps delivery near-instant with a polling fallback. Both channels are coordinated so you never get a duplicate notification — and never miss an email.
How it runs in your workspace

From install to inbox in under two minutes.

1
Connect Gmail via OAuth
Click "Connect Gmail" in the Relay Home tab. Approve the Google OAuth prompt — Relay requests only the scopes it needs. Your token is AES-256 encrypted and never shared.
2
Choose what to monitor
Pick which Gmail labels to watch and which categories to skip. Relay starts delivering matching emails as Slack DMs straight away.
3
Act on emails without leaving Slack
Reply, archive, snooze, label, or search — all from Slack. Save canned replies as templates to move even faster.
