Gmail 2-Way Email Sync in Kyrios

Gmail 2-Way Email Sync connects your personal Gmail account to Kyrios so incoming and outgoing emails stay synchronized in real time between Gmail and the Kyrios Conversations inbox.

Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

  • Users who want to send and receive personal emails inside Kyrios

  • Teams that need full email visibility in contact conversations

  • Accounts that want true bidirectional sync (Gmail ↔ Kyrios)


What Gmail 2-Way Email Sync Does

When enabled, Gmail 2-Way Email Sync ensures:

  • Emails sent from Kyrios appear in your Gmail Sent folder

  • Replies sent from Gmail appear in Kyrios Conversations

  • Incoming emails from contacts sync automatically into Kyrios

  • The connected Gmail address is used as the sender address for individual emails

This sync applies only to 1:1 individual emails, not bulk or workflow emails.

How Email Sync Works in Practice

Sending Emails from Kyrios

  • The From address is automatically populated with the connected Gmail address

  • Emails are sent directly through Gmail

  • Sent emails appear in:

    • Kyrios contact conversation

    • Gmail Sent folder


Receiving and Replying to Emails

  • Replies sent from Gmail sync back into Kyrios automatically

  • The full email thread remains synchronized between both platforms


Conversation Thread Sync

Once an email thread is initiated:

  • All replies—whether sent from Kyrios or Gmail—remain synced

  • The conversation is linked to the contact record in Kyrios


Auto BCC Sync (Optional)

Auto BCC allows emails sent from Gmail or Outlook to be logged in Kyrios even if the conversation did not start in Kyrios.

How to Use Auto BCC

  1. Go to Settings > My Profile

  2. Copy the Auto BCC address

  3. Add it to the CC or BCC field when sending emails from Gmail or Outlook


Result:

  • The email is logged in Kyrios

  • The contact is created (if not already present)

  • Future replies from that contact will auto-sync


Updating or Disconnecting Gmail Sync

Update Connected Email

  • Click the Edit icon next to the connected Gmail address

  • Connect a new Gmail account without disconnecting first

Behavior:

  • New outbound emails sync with the new Gmail address

  • The previous Gmail address stops syncing new messages


Disconnect Email Sync

  • Click the Delete icon to disconnect Gmail

Behavior:

  • Existing synced emails remain in Kyrios

  • New emails will no longer sync


Email Types and Sender Rules

Individual Emails

  • Sent directly from the connected Gmail address

  • Subject to Gmail’s daily limit of 500 emails

Bulk Emails

  • Sent through the account’s configured email provider

  • Not affected by Gmail 2-Way Sync

Workflow & Automation Emails

  • Sent via the account’s email infrastructure

  • Do not use personal Gmail sending


Limits and Notes

  • Attachment size limit: 25 MB (Gmail limit)

  • Emails from account users do not sync for privacy reasons

  • Emails from non-user contacts sync normally

  • Gmail may show a “Delivery incomplete” warning when using BCC

    • This does not mean the email failed to log in Kyrios
