Connect your work mailbox
There are two ways this happens. If your admin has already connected the company's mail, your mailbox is protected and there is nothing for you to do here. If not, open Settings, then Integrations, and click Connect next to Gmail or Microsoft 365, then sign in. If your admin has approved Carmen for the company you will not see a permissions screen; if you do, click Allow.
See the Gmail or Microsoft 365 guide.
