How long does it take to connect Gmail and Mastodon on Tiny Command?
Under two minutes. Authorize Gmail and Mastodon once each, drop the Gmail trigger and Mastodon action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the Gmail ↔ Mastodon integration real-time?
Yes. Both Gmail and Mastodon 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 Mastodon?
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 Mastodon.
What Gmail events can trigger a Mastodon workflow?
Any of the 1 Gmail triggers, including "New Email". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Gmail.

No. There's a free tier that covers most Gmail+Mastodon use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.
What if I want Mastodon → Gmail instead?
