# Connect Gmail and Google Drive to Cora for EBR workflows

> Link your Google account so Cora can send emails and save presentations to Drive on your behalf, without access to your existing inbox or files.

The Gmail and Google Drive integrations let individual users send emails and create presentations directly from Cora.ai — particularly for Executive Business Review (EBR) workflows. Both integrations use OAuth 2.0 and are connected per user, so each team member authorizes their own Google account.

| Detail           | Value                          |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Integration type | OAuth 2.0, User-Level          |
| Setup time       | 3–5 minutes per user           |
| Required role    | Any authenticated Cora.ai user |

## Prerequisites

* A Google Workspace or personal Google account
* Gmail enabled (for the Gmail integration)
* Google Drive
* An active Cora.ai user account

## What Cora requests

Cora requests the minimum permissions needed for each integration.

## Setup

The steps below connect your Gmail account. Google Drive follows the same OAuth flow — after completing Gmail, return to the Integrations page and repeat the process for the Google Drive card.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access user integrations">
    1. Log into Cora.ai with your user account.
    2. Click your **profile picture** or avatar in the top-right corner.
    3. Select **Settings** or **Integrations** from the dropdown menu.
    4. Navigate to the **Integrations** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initiate the Gmail connection">
    1. Locate the **Gmail** integration card.
    2. Click **Connect**.
    3. You will be redirected to Google's authentication page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate with Google">
    1. Select the Google account you want to connect.
    2. If prompted, enter your Google password.
    3. If two-factor authentication is enabled, complete the verification step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant Gmail permissions">
    1. Review the permissions Cora.ai is requesting. Google will display:
       * **Application requesting access**: Cora.ai
       * **Requested permissions**: Send emails, compose messages, read drafts
    2. Click **Allow** to grant access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the connection">
    1. You will be redirected back to Cora.ai.
    2. The Gmail integration card will show a **Connected** status.
    3. Your connected Gmail address will be displayed on the card.

    <Note>
      You can use the same Google account for both Gmail and Google Drive, or connect different accounts for each integration.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Multiple account support

You can connect more than one Gmail account to Cora.ai:

1. On the Gmail integration card, click **Add Another Account**.
