Managing your personal email and calendar integrations

Connect your Google Workspace or Outlook account to bont so the unified inbox and calendar light up — set up, manage and disconnect from one place.

Connecting your personal email and calendar is what powers bont's unified inbox, calendar overlay, email signatures and email-label sync. Without a connection, the inbox and calendar tabs stay empty. Personal integrations live in base bont — or, if your workspace doesn't have base bont, the same page is available inside pure bont.

Before you start

A Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 / Outlook account you have permission to authorise.
Pop-ups allowed for the bont domain — the OAuth handoff opens in a new window.

Step 1 · Open Personal Integrations

In base bont (or pure bont if base isn't enabled), open Settings → Integrations → Personal Integrations. The page lists the providers bont supports.

Personal Integrations page with Connect buttons for Google Workspace and Outlook — If a provider is already connected, this page shows its status badge instead of a Connect button.

Step 2 · Connect a provider

Click Connect next to Google Workspace or Outlook. bont opens an OAuth window. Approve the requested scopes (read/send email, read/write calendar). When the window closes, the badge on the connection card flips to Connected.

Step 3 · Pick what to sync

Below the Connected Accounts section there are sub-panels for fine-tuning:

Calendar Settings — set your working hours and which calendars to display.
Email Label Synchronisation — choose which labels/folders bont mirrors into its inbox view (e.g. Inbox, Sent, custom labels).
Add Signature — manage one or more email signatures that you can pick from when composing a reply.

Step 4 · Disconnect or reconnect

To disconnect, find the connected account card and click the Disconnect action. To reconnect after a token expiry, click Connect again — bont reuses the existing record rather than creating a duplicate.

Troubleshooting

I clicked Connect and nothing happened

Your browser likely blocked the OAuth pop-up. Allow pop-ups for the bont origin and retry. The console will log a pop-up-blocker warning if that's the cause.

Calendar or inbox is empty after connecting

First sync takes a minute or two for large mailboxes. Reload after a couple of minutes. If it stays empty, open Personal Integrations and confirm the badge says Connected; if it says Reconnect, the token expired and a fresh Connect click will fix it.

I can't see emails or calendar events older than a month

By design. The initial sync pulls roughly the last 30 days of email and the last 30 days of calendar events. Older mail stays in your provider; bont indexes what's recent because that's what drives the unified inbox and the activity timeline. The same window applies whether you're on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 / Outlook. Email support@bont.ai if a longer back-fill is critical for an onboarding — we can sometimes extend it on request.

"This account is already connected to another bont workspace"

An email/calendar account can attach to one bont workspace at a time. Disconnect it from the other workspace first, then connect it here.
