# Connect your account

## 1. Launch Filo

One white button greets you: **Sign in with Google**.

> Google Workspace SSO isn't ready yet—Filo currently supports personal or delegated Gmail only.

## 2. Choose your Gmail address

Complete the familiar Google OAuth flow.

## 3. Grant permissions

Scopes: Read, Compose, Send, Delete

- •Password never leaves Google; the token lives locally, encrypted, and you can revoke it anytime in your Google Security dashboard.
- •2-factor and Advanced Protection work out-of-the-box.

## 4. Initial sync logic (≈ 30 s - 1 min)

| Phase          | What happens                                                                 | Why                                      |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| Seed fetch     | Filo pulls 100 messages from the last 30 days—nothing older, nothing beyond 100.  | Keeps first launch fast and focused.    |
| Scroll-to-process | As you scroll that seed list, Filo's AI generates a summary for each email, then classifies it as Important, Updates, Promos, or Spam. | Lets you skim & watch the inbox self-organise in real time. |
| Auto-relocate  | Once labelled, those messages instantly move into their respective categories. Your "Important" tab ends up holding only the good stuff. | Gives you a clean slate without manual dragging. |

## 5. Ongoing mail flow

After the first 100-email pass, every new message is **summarised and classified simultaneously**—it lands straight in the correct category the moment it appears.

## 6. Automatic To-Do sweep

- •Filo scans all **unread mail from the past 48 hours** (excluding spam/promos).
- •Any genuine action item becomes a **To-Do** in your Tasks view—no tagging required.

## Adding another Gmail (existing users)

When you hit **Settings → Accounts → Add**, the exact same seed-sync logic runs for that mailbox—100 recent emails first, scroll-to-process, then real-time classification.

## Trouble signing in?

- •**Pop-up blocked** → allow pop-ups and retry.
- •**Token expired or admin-restricted** → a red **Reconnect** banner appears; click and follow the prompt.
- •**Still stuck?** Tap the **feedback icon** on the landing page or ping us in Discord **`#📥｜feedback`** for live help.

> Grab a coffee while Filo finishes that first 100-email sweep; by the time you're back, your inbox will have summarized itself, sorted itself, and surfaced any fresh To-Dos—all before you've even hit reply.
