Why teams connect Gmail and Resend

Sync the people, users, and work records in Resend with the calls, messages, and events in Gmail, in real time and in both directions.

Resend holds the records a team works from: the contacts, the tickets or tasks, the users, and the history attached to each. Gmail moves the actual communication, whether that is a call, a text, an email, or a meeting, and every one of those is tied to a person and often to a user on your side. When the two are connected only by manual entry or a nightly export, the communication happens in one system while the record it belongs to sits in another, so people rebuild context by hand and reach out from contact lists that are already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Domains, Email events, API keys, Emails in Resend with Drafts, Attachments, History, Messages in Gmail bi-directionally and in real time. Contacts and users maintained in Resend feed Gmail so outbound dialing, messaging, and invites reach current numbers and addresses, and the calls, messages, and meeting events Gmail produces attach to the matching record in Resend within seconds. Everything is mapped field by field, with conflict resolution in place of copy-paste, and there is no middleware to build, no rate limits to babysit, and no batch job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared people, users, and activity are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write delivery, bounce, and complaint events back to the CRM or a Postgres table for deliverability reporting.
  • 02 Trigger transactional sends when a row changes in an operational database, such as an order status update.
  • 03 Mirror Labels with pipeline or ticket states so triage done in an external tool is reflected inside the inbox.
  • 04 Log sent and received Messages onto CRM contact and deal timelines automatically so reps never copy-paste email history.

Common sync patterns

Where Gmail places calls or sends messages: activity on the record

Calls, texts, emails, or meeting events from Gmail attach to the matching contact, ticket, or item in Resend, so the full history lives with the record instead of in a separate log.

Contacts and numbers kept current for outreach

People and their phone numbers or email addresses maintained in Resend sync into Gmail, so outbound dialing, messaging, and invites always reach current details rather than a stale list.

One user and agent roster

Users kept in Resend map to accounts, seats, or extensions in Gmail, so the same people exist on both sides and ownership stays meaningful across the two systems.

What you can sync between Gmail and Resend

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Gmail objects Resend objects How this pairing syncs
Messages Individual emails with headers, body, and label state; read out to a CRM or warehouse for activity logging, and sent or modified two-way from sales tools. Broadcasts One-to-many campaign sends addressed to an audience. Messages is specific to Gmail and Broadcasts to Resend — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Threads Conversation groupings that keep replies together; synced so a CRM timeline or support desk shows the full exchange, not isolated messages. Domains Verified sending domains with DNS and DKIM status. Threads is specific to Gmail and Domains to Resend — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels User and system labels (INBOX, SENT, custom); applied and removed via sync to mirror pipeline stages or triage states from an external system. Email events Delivered, bounced, complained, opened, and clicked events emitted via webhooks and written back to source systems. Labels is specific to Gmail and Email events to Resend — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Drafts Unsent messages; created and updated from templates or sequence tools so reps review before sending from their own mailbox. API keys Scoped credentials managed per environment for send and read access. Drafts is specific to Gmail and API keys to Resend — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File payloads referenced by message part; read out to storage or a document system for archival and compliance workflows. Emails Sent messages retrievable by ID with current delivery status. Attachments is specific to Gmail and Emails to Resend — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
History The incremental change log keyed by historyId; used for efficient delta sync so only mailbox changes since the last cursor are fetched. Contacts Recipient records with email, name, and subscription state, synced from CRMs or databases. History is specific to Gmail and Contacts to Resend — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gmail and Resend

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Gmail Resend Sub-second propagation

DetectionGmail notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental sync via users.history.list from a stored historyId cursor, plus real-time push notifications through Google Cloud Pub/Sub watch on the.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Resend through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Resend Gmail Sub-second propagation

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gmail: Quota is measured in units per user per second (e.g. messages.list = 5 units, messages.send = 100 units) against a 250 quota-unit/user/second limit and a daily project cap; exceeding limits returns 429 with exponential backoff expected.
