Connect GitHub to Gmail
Automate GitHub and Gmail with AI
Pull request noise in Gmail buries the reviews that still need a response. Your Operator agent on OpenClaw reads GitHub activity on repos you watch, summarizes open reviews and failing checks in a Gmail digest, and drafts replies when someone asks for status on a branch. Tell it to ping reviewers on stale PRs and it sends Gmail nudges with links back to the GitHub threads.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.
What your agent can do with GitHub and Gmail
What your agent does in GitHub
Abort Repository Migration
Tool to abort a repository migration that is queued or in progress. Use when you need to cancel an ongoing migration operation.
Accept a repository invitation

Adds a GitHub user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation ma...
Add assignees to an issue
Adds assignees to a GitHub issue. This action only adds users - it does not remove existing assignees. Changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's GitHub account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the...

Create label
Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's Gmail account. Returns a labelId (e.g., 'Label_123') required for downstream tools like GMAIL_ADD_LABEL_TO_EMAIL, GMAIL_BATCH_MODIFY_MESSAGES, and GMAIL_MODIFY_THREAD_LABELS...
How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between GitHub and Gmail, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from GitHub, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Gmail without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about GitHub and Gmail
- How do I connect GitHub and Gmail to Operator?
- You authorize GitHub and Gmail once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across GitHub and Gmail?
- Tell it the job and it moves between GitHub and Gmail as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep GitHub and Gmail in sync?
- Yes. It can watch GitHub and act in Gmail, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
