How to connect two email addresses to Claude

Claude's Gmail connector holds one Google account. Add Cedric as a custom connector instead and every inbox you give Cedric is there in Claude, by name.

Claude reaches Gmail through its Google connector, and that connector holds one Google account. Connect a second one and it replaces the first. If you answer from sales@ and from your own address, you are disconnecting and reconnecting all day.

The fix is Cedric. It holds as many inboxes as you give it, each with its own name, and Claude can use it as a custom connector. Three steps, about five minutes.

It is basically free. A Cedric workspace starts with 100,000 credits (about $50 of work) and no card. And through MCP the cost stays very low: Claude does the thinking, Cedric only runs the tool calls.

  1. 01

    Create a Cedric account

    Continue with Slack, Discord or Telegram, or with Google if it is just for you. No card.

    Connect your inboxes

    Open Integrations, find Gmail, click Connect and sign in with Google. Do it again for the second address: the card now says Add another. Each inbox shows up under Connected with a name taken from its address, sales and hello here. Rename it to whatever you want with the pencil. The star marks the one an unnamed ask uses.

    The Integrations page in Cedric: under Connected, Gmail · sales (starred) and Gmail · hello, each with a pencil to rename, and the Gmail card below saying Add another.

    Plug Cedric into Claude

    In Cedric, open Admin settings, then MCP, and copy the address. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, click Add custom connector, paste the address and click Add. Click Connect, sign in to Cedric, allow. Done.

    Left: Cedric's MCP settings with the address and the Claude tile. Right: Claude's Add custom connector dialog with the same address pasted in.
A Claude chat where the answer covers two inboxes, sales@ and hello@, with a reply drafted from hello@ and held for approval in Cedric.
Then ask, naming the inbox. "Anything new on sales@?" reads one; "reply from hello@" writes from the other. Reading and drafting are instant. Sending waits for your yes.

FAQ

Yes. The desktop app shares the same Connectors settings as the browser. Add Cedric once and it is there in both.

As many as you like. Every one is a row of its own under Connected, with a name. Say the name when you ask and Cedric uses that account.

Only if you connected them as Team. A private connection is yours alone, and stays private when Claude reaches it through your sign-in.
