Connect your email
Connect Gmail or Outlook in about a minute, so Jasmine can read your inbox, draft replies in your voice and see your calendar.
Connect your mailbox once and Jasmine can work from it. She reads your inbox to find emails, attachments and what needs a reply, drafts replies in your voice, and sees your calendar. Nothing is sent to anyone without your OK.
It takes about a minute. Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Hotmail and Microsoft 365 connect with a normal sign-in.
Where to find it
- Sign in at yesbusiness.ai.
- Press your initial at the top right (on a phone you may see Me on the bottom bar instead), then Email.
Shortcut: open Email now.
Step 1: Choose your mailbox
Under Add a mailbox there are three tiles. Press yours:
- Gmail / Google Workspace: Gmail, or a Google Workspace address.
- Microsoft 365 / Outlook: Outlook, Hotmail or a Microsoft 365 address.
- Any other mailbox: iCloud, Fastmail, Yahoo or your own domain. This one asks for your address and an app password (a one-off code from your email provider), never your normal password.
Step 2: Choose what Jasmine may do
The Gmail and Microsoft tiles open three ticks, all ticked to start:
- Send emails
- Read inbox (so she can find emails, attachments and what needs a reply)
- Calendar (read and add events)
Untick anything you don't want her to do. Then press Connect Gmail or Connect Microsoft.
Step 3: Sign in and allow
A small Google or Microsoft window opens.
- Choose the address you want to connect, or sign in to it.
- Google or Microsoft lists what YesBusiness is asking to do: the ticks you chose. Google may show a tick box beside each one. Tick them all (or Select all); Jasmine can't do a part you leave unticked.
- Press the button that agrees: Continue or Allow on Google, Accept or Yes on Microsoft.
If Google shows "Google hasn't verified this app", that is Google's standard screen for an app it has not verified yet. Press Advanced, then Go to yesbusiness.ai, and carry on.
Step 4: Done
The window says Connected as your address, then closes by itself. Back on the Email screen, your mailbox shows Connected in green within a second or two.
What Jasmine does with it
- Reads your inbox to find emails, attachments and what needs a reply.
- Drafts replies in your voice for you to check, send or skip.
- Sees your calendar, and adds the events you ask for.
- Nothing is sent to anyone without your OK.
If it doesn't work
- No window opened? Your browser may have blocked the pop-up. Allow pop-ups for yesbusiness.ai, then press Connect again.
- "Google has not let me in for this address yet"? Press Use an app password. It takes about two minutes: turn on 2-Step Verification in your Google account, make an app password named YesBusiness, and paste the 16 letters into the form.
- A work Microsoft address? Your IT admin may need to approve the app first. Ask them to allow it, then connect again.
- "Needs reconnecting"? Press Reconnect on your mailbox's card and sign in again.
Good to know
- Permissions on your mailbox's card shows what Jasmine can do with it.
- Disconnect ends her access. She keeps only the address and what it could do, so you can reconnect in one press, never the sign-in.
- You can add a second address beside your main one. Your main mailbox still sends.
Questions: reply to any email from Jasmine, or use the chat inside the app.
