Connect Multiple Gmail Accounts to Grok Bot
Grok Bot can reach more than one Gmail account, but every Bot on your account shares one browser and one set of signed-in sessions, so the accounts stop being separable. Connecting each inbox to Carly keeps them individually addressable, and a single Grok Bot conversation can then work in whichever account you name.
The constraint is different from other assistants
With most AI assistants, the multi-account problem is that one connector holds exactly one account. Grok Bot’s problem is the opposite shape. It can sign into as many Google accounts as you like, because each Bot drives a real browser on a cloud computer. What it does not do is keep them apart.
Per SpaceXAI’s documentation on the shared computer, browser cookies and signed-in sessions are shared across every Bot on your account, files are visible to all of them, and installed connectors are account-wide. The docs are direct about the implication: signing in for one Bot makes that session available to your other Bots, and separate Bots are “not separate security boundaries.”
So three Gmail accounts inside Grok Bot means three live sessions in one browser that every Bot can use. There is no per-account routing, and no way to give the recruiting Bot your work inbox while withholding your personal one.
What one conversation can do afterwards
- Search personal and work Gmail in the same question.
- Compare threads sitting in different company accounts.
- Produce a daily summary grouped by inbox.
- Draft or send from the exact address you choose.
- Label, move, or archive in the correct account.
- Check several calendars while writing to only one.
Nothing is merged. Each mailbox keeps its own credentials, and Carly keeps them individually addressable.
1. Give each Gmail account a role
Using fictional addresses:
| Address | Role in Grok Bot |
|---|---|
fictional.priya.venkataraman@gmail.com | Personal |
fictional.priya.venkataraman@wayfair.com | Main Company |
fictional.priya.venkataraman@bimbobakeries.com | Client |
Names like Personal, Main Company, and Client read better in everyday requests than “Gmail 1.” Keep the full address for anything that changes an inbox.
2. Connect the first Gmail account to Carly
Open carlyassistant.com/integrations, find Gmail, and click Connect. Authorize the first Google account and confirm the address that comes back matches the one you intended.
3. Add the remaining Gmail accounts
Repeat the same Gmail connection for every other Google identity. Google will offer the account you are already signed into, so choose Use another account each time and enter the next address deliberately.
After each authorization, confirm the full address. This is the step where people accidentally connect the same inbox twice and later wonder why one account never returns results.
4. Add Carly to Grok Bot
Grok Bot connects to tools through plugins and MCP servers. Open settings with Cmd/Ctrl+,, go to Plugins, and add Carly’s MCP server, completing browser authentication if it is requested. Installed plugins appear under Yours, and individual tools can be enabled or disabled.
Two caveats worth knowing before you start. On a team plan, MCP policy is inherited from Cursor, and a team setting controls whether members can add their own servers, so an administrator can block this. And because installed connectors are account-wide, adding Carly makes it available to every Bot you have rather than only the one you are talking to.
5. Keep approvals on for anything that sends
Grok Bot supports Auto-review rules, and Require Approval rules always stop matching actions. Add one for sending external email before you give a Bot access to several inboxes at once. Reads and searches then run freely, while a send from the wrong address gets stopped in front of you.
An approval covers the proposed action only. It does not reverse work already completed, which is the argument for putting the rule in place first rather than after a mistake.
6. Test read-only, then route by address
Ask for something harmless in each account before trusting anything that writes:
Search Client for unread messages from the last two days and list the senders. Do not reply to anything.
Then work through a draft in each account, checking the from-address on every one. Once reads are correct in all three, name the target account on every instruction that sends, labels, moves, or touches a calendar:
Draft a reply from Main Company to the latest thread from the operations lead, and leave it in drafts for me to review.
Naming the account every time is the habit that prevents cross-posting. Grok Bot holds all your sessions in one place, so an unnamed instruction is genuinely ambiguous.
Where this leaves you
Carly holds each Gmail account as its own addressable identity, which is the piece a shared browser cannot offer. Connected accounts and booking pages are unlimited, workflows in the Zapier-style builder are free, and AI agents start at $35/month.
The other half is what starts the work. Carly watches your inboxes and calendars and acts on what arrives, so a reply that needs sending or a meeting that needs moving does not wait for you to open an app and ask.
Frequently asked questions
Can Grok Bot connect two Gmail accounts at once?
It can hold sessions for several Google accounts in its browser, because each Bot works on a cloud computer with a real browser. Those sessions are shared across all of your Bots rather than scoped to one, so the accounts are reachable but not separable.
Do separate Bots keep my inboxes apart?
No. Every Bot on your account shares one cloud computer, including its browser sessions and logins. SpaceXAI advises against using separate Bots as a security boundary.
Does connecting Carly give every Bot access?
Yes. Installed connectors in Grok Bot are account-wide rather than per-Bot, so plan access at the account level and use approval rules for the actions that matter.
Will this work on a Cursor team plan?
It depends on your administrator. Grok Bot inherits your team’s MCP configuration, which includes a server allowlist and a setting for whether members can add their own servers.
Can I mix Gmail and Outlook accounts?
Yes. Carly connects both, and one request can span Gmail and Outlook accounts together while still sending from the address you name.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
