What it does

Nylas is the email provider that powers every email channel in Custral. One connected mailbox per user (or per shared inbox) becomes one channel: inbound mail arrives in your Custral inbox automatically, and outbound mail you send from Custral is delivered through your connected mailbox.

Connect

1

Open Channels

Settings → Channels → Add Channel → Email.
2

Pick a provider

Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, IMAP, or Exchange. Nylas supports them all behind the same UI.
3

Authorize

Sign in to your provider and grant the requested scopes (read, send, calendar if you want events).

Configure

Per-channel:
  • Personal vs shared: who else on the team can read this mailbox.
  • Default From name for outbound mail.
  • Recording / archiving policy.

Resources synced

Limitations

  • The mailbox stays at the provider. Custral does not become the source of truth for mail. Disconnecting removes the channel but leaves your mail with Google / Microsoft / etc.
  • Calendar two-way sync is read-only in the current build.

Troubleshooting

Disconnect

Disconnect from the channel settings. The channel is removed; existing conversations linked to it stay in Custral, but no further mail flows through.
