FAQ

Questions about Gmail + Drift.

How long does it take to connect Gmail and Drift on Tiny Command?
Under two minutes. Authorize Gmail and Drift once each, drop the Gmail trigger and Drift action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the Gmail ↔ Drift integration real-time?
Yes. Both Gmail and Drift expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.
Can I filter or transform data between Gmail and Drift?
Yes. Add a Filter node to only pass through matching events, a Switch node to branch by value, or an AI / Code node to transform payloads before they hit Drift.
What Gmail events can trigger a Drift workflow?
Any of the 1 Gmail triggers, including "New Email". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Gmail.
Do I need a paid plan to use Gmail with Drift?
No. There's a free tier that covers most Gmail+Drift use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.
What if I want Drift → Gmail instead?
Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/drift/with/google-gmail page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
