Wix Inbox: Connecting Your Gmail Account

Connect your Gmail account to Wix Inbox so that any emails you send through your Wix account (e.g. contact form responses, communication about store orders, etc.) will come from your own email address.

You'll also be able to see the emails you sent through Wix Inbox, directly in your Gmail account.

Important:

When you connect your Gmail account to Wix Inbox, the connection only goes one way. You can see all Wix Inbox notifications in your personal Gmail account. However, any personal emails sent to or from your Gmail do not show up in Wix Inbox.

  1. Go to Inbox in your site's dashboard.
