Connecting your Gmail inbox to Aspire allows you to send and receive communications from your brand email address directly on the platform. It also allows you to invite people to your campaigns and reach out to new people that you're interested in collaborating with.

šŸ’” Before you proceed, please review the requirements below to ensure your email is ready to connect to Aspire.

  • Inbox must have its own password

  • Cannot be an email alias

  • Cannot be a Google group email
