Connecting Gmail to HireLedger

HireLedger now supports local-first email synchronization with Gmail.
Your emails stay on your device, never on random servers — your privacy stays yours.

🔧 Step 1 — Open HireLedger Settings

1. Look at the left sidebar.
2. Click Settings.
3. In the second menu, select Email.

📬 Step 2 — Connect Your Google Account

1. On the right side of the Email page, click Connect Google.
2. A standard Google login window will appear.
3. Sign in with the Google account you want to sync.
4. Google will ask you to grant HireLedger permission to access your email.
5. Approve the request.
6. Once completed, Google will redirect you back to HireLedger — and you’re all set.

🔄 Step 3 — Syncing Your Emails

You have two options:

• Sync Now:
  Click Sync Now to manually pull in the latest labeled emails.

• Automatic Sync:
  HireLedger will periodically refresh your email data in the background.

📥 How to Make Emails Appear in HireLedger

HireLedger only shows emails that you explicitly choose.
To make an email appear:

1. Open Gmail.
2. Right-click the email you want to add.
3. Select Label → HireLedger (or Label as HireLedger depending on your UI).

Any email tagged with this label will show up inside HireLedger after sync.

❓ Why Can’t I See My Emails in HireLedger?

If an email doesn’t appear in the HireLedger UI, it’s almost always for one reason:

👉 The email is not labeled “HireLedger” inside Gmail.

HireLedger only displays emails that you choose.
This prevents clutter and keeps your workspace secure and intentional.
