Connect your Google account (Gmail and Drive)

During onboarding, connect Google once to give Invoflux access to read invoices from Gmail and file them in Google Drive. Both are granted in a single Google consent screen.

Invoflux reads invoices from your inbox and files them in your Drive, so it needs access to both. You grant this once through Google's standard consent screen during onboarding.

Steps

  1. In onboarding, choose Connect Google.

  2. Pick the Google account that receives your invoices.

  3. On Google's consent screen, approve access to Gmail and Google Drive. Both permissions are requested together.

  4. You are returned to Invoflux and the connection shows as active.

What Invoflux can and cannot do

  • It reads incoming email to find invoices, and creates and organizes files in Drive.

  • It does not send email from your account, and it does not read or change unrelated documents in your Drive.

Result

Gmail and Drive show as connected. Invoflux can now scan for invoices and file them automatically.

Troubleshooting

  • I picked the wrong Google account. Disconnect it from the connections page and connect the correct account.

  • Google says the app is not verified. Continue only if you trust the app. Invoflux requests the minimum scopes needed to read invoices and file them.

  • I only see one permission. Gmail and Drive are bundled in one consent. If a permission is missing later, reconnect Google to re-grant access.
