How do I display a Gmail account on my start.me page?

If you want to see the contents of your Gmail account on your start.me page, you can do this with our Newsfeed widget (RSS). You also need the third-party service Zapier, where you'll first create a Zap. With a free account, you can create up to 5 zaps.

Instructions to create a Zap

1. Go to https://zapier.com and create a (free) account and log in.
2. In the Recommended for you section, look for the Zap Post new email on Gmail to an RSS feed. Click Try it.
3. In the Connect Gmail button click Sign in. After authorizing Zapier, click Continue.
4. Now select the Label or Mailbox you want to see in your feed. If you don't select one you'll see every email. Click Continue.
5. Now you can Test a trigger. We recommend you Continue with selected record.
6. Click Continue again to start customizing the Action you want Zapier to perform. Make sure to personalize the RSS feed URL, and to fill in the required fields. Click Continue.
7. Finally, click Publish to activate your Zap. Now, when you click the RSS part of your Zap, you'll find the personalized RSS feed URL you can copy to the clipboard.

For more detailed instructions to creating your Zap, go to the Gmail help section.
