Connect Glimpse to your AI assistant
Free for every Glimpse account. When your AI assistant sends email for you through its own Gmail connection, Gmail adds no tracking picture, so Glimpse can't tell who opened it. Connect Glimpse once and ask your assistant to send with Glimpse: the email goes out from your own Gmail address, lands in your Sent folder, and is tracked like any other email you send.
The three steps
1. Sign in to Glimpse with Google at glimpsemail.app (you do this once; your assistant will ask you to sign in again when you connect it).
2. Connect your Gmail so Glimpse can send for you: Connect my Gmail
Google shows a permission screen. Glimpse only sends when your assistant asks, and only from your own address. If you already connected Gmail for Glimpse, you can skip this.
3. Add Glimpse to your assistant using this address (it's the same for every assistant):
https://glimpsemail.app/mcp
When the assistant asks you to sign in, choose Sign in with Google, then tap Allow. Then just say: “Send this with Glimpse.”
Claude
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → name it Glimpse, paste the address above → Add → Connect and sign in. Custom connectors are available on the paid Claude plans that allow them. Menu names may differ a little between the website and the apps.
Grok
Settings → Connectors → add a custom connector (a remote MCP server) → paste the address above → connect and sign in.
ChatGPT
Settings → Apps & Connectors (turn on Developer mode under Advanced if you don't see custom connectors) → create a connector with the address above, authentication OAuth → connect and sign in.
Honest note: ChatGPT only lets a custom connector send things on plans that allow custom connector actions (today the business and enterprise plans). On other plans it can read the Glimpse results (who opened what) but not send.
Gemini
Gemini doesn't accept outside connectors yet, so Glimpse can't plug into it. If Gemini writes a draft and you press Send in Gmail yourself, Glimpse already tracks that email as usual.
Good to know
Which tool does my assistant use? Assistants that also have their own Gmail connection may pick that one. Tell it “send with Glimpse”, or switch its own Gmail sending off, so the email is tracked.
What if it sends without Glimpse? Glimpse notices emails sent from an AI assistant or app without tracking and lists them as “Sent from an AI assistant or app — not tracked”, with a one-time tip to connect. (Those can't be tracked afterwards: Gmail doesn't allow editing an email once it's sent.)
Your own opens follow the same rules as every other email: the first seconds after sending, your own Sent copy and your own devices don't count.
Disconnect any time: remove the Glimpse connector in your assistant, or delete your Glimpse account at Delete your account.
