How do I connect Fauna to Gmail?

What can I automate between Fauna and Gmail?

Is the Fauna and Gmail integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Fauna-to-Gmail workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Fauna data secure when connected to Gmail?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Fauna or Gmail passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your databases data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Fauna and Gmail?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Fauna or Gmail. For example, create a workflow where Fauna events update Gmail, and a separate one where Gmail changes sync back to Fauna. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Fauna and Gmail?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Fauna and Gmail, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
