Microsoft 365TechSales with Gmail and Microsoft 365
Connect your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account to send a reply from your real mailbox and let TechSales see the meetings on your calendar. Campaigns never go out through it.
In short
- Connected with OAuth under Mailbox and calendar: Google Workspace / Gmail or Microsoft 365 / Outlook.
- Permissions are the minimum: send mail and read calendar events. TechSales does not read your inbox.
- Sending is limited to replies a person clicks send on, to a lead who has already written to you, at most 100 per mailbox per day.
- Calendars are read every 15 minutes; when a lead is an attendee on a meeting, the lead moves to Meeting Booked.

What it does and does not do
| Does | Does not | |
|---|---|---|
| Sends a reply you click send on, from your own address, threaded on Gmail | Read your inbox, send campaigns, send on Autopilot | |
| Calendar | Reads events 14 days back to 45 days ahead, every 15 minutes | Create or change events in your calendar |
| Stages | Moves a lead in Follow up Question, Interested or Meeting Requested to Meeting Booked when they are an attendee | Guess attendees by name; matching is by exact email |
Why so narrow: Google's policy does not allow commercial mail to people who did not ask for it through a connected Gmail app. Cold campaigns go through your sending tools (Instantly, Smartlead, HeyReach); your own mailbox is for the conversation once someone has replied.
Microsoft 365 notes
Microsoft 365 works the same way. One difference: Microsoft Graph does not let TechSales set the reply-to header, so on the prospect's side a reply sent from Outlook may open a new thread instead of joining the old one.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I send cold campaigns through my Gmail?
- No. Campaigns go through Instantly, Smartlead or HeyReach. A connected mailbox only sends replies to people who wrote to you first.
- Does TechSales add meetings to my calendar?
- No. It reads your calendar to detect booked meetings. Booking through Calendly is covered on the Calendly page.
- What does TechSales see in my calendar?
- Events from 14 days ago to 45 days ahead, used to match attendees to leads by email.
