FAQ

Questions about PayPal + Gmail.

How long does it take to connect PayPal and Gmail on Tiny Command?
Under two minutes. Authorize PayPal and Gmail once each, drop the PayPal trigger and Gmail action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the PayPal ↔ Gmail integration real-time?
Yes. Both PayPal and Gmail 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 PayPal and Gmail?
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 Gmail.
What PayPal events can trigger a Gmail workflow?
Any of the 5 PayPal triggers, including "PayPal Order Approved". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in PayPal.
Do I need a paid plan to use PayPal with Gmail?
No. There's a free tier that covers most PayPal+Gmail use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.
What if I want Gmail → PayPal instead?
Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/google-gmail/with/paypal page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
