Beta. Act on new Gmail as it arrives: get pinged only for urgent mail, digest newsletters, forward invoices — any standing instruction, across one or several accounts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Gmail Triggers (Beta) Polls the user's Gmail inbox on a cron and escalates to the assistant **only when a new message arrives** — an empty poll spends zero LLM tokens. Installing it means creating a script-mode schedule that runs the schedule's own copy of the shipped poll script. Schedule mechanics (script mode, the `schedules/<id>/` convention, waking the agent loop) are documented in the included `schedule` skill. ## Why this instead of a watcher A watcher could only be configured through its prompt and its cadence. This one is a script that belongs to the schedule, so the assistant can change anything about how it behaves by simply editing the script. And because it runs as a schedule, its runs, errors, and cost all show up on the Schedules page in the app. ## Setup ### 1. Ensure Google is connected The trigger reads Gmail through the user's Google OAuth connection with Gmail read access. Check with: ```bash assistant oauth status google ``` …

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/gmail-trigger@sha256:dd53529d2e44f018The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.25b73db, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
