# Let your website handle its people’s email

> Have your website act on each signed-in person’s new emails, even while they’re away, to take that work off your team or clients.

Your website can act on new emails for the people who connect their own Gmail or Outlook to it, even while they’re away. For example, it can answer each new email, or sort it for them.

Ted can do this for you: ask him to let the people who sign in to your website connect their Gmail or Outlook. Tell him what to do with each new email.

## Before you start

It needs Pro or Max, and a website where people [sign in](https://docs.foundable.com/build/website-users.md). Each new email your website gets uses your [credits](https://docs.foundable.com/help/glossary.md#credit).

**1. Ask Ted for it**

In the chat, tell him who it’s for and what your website should do with each new email. On other plans, he says so and offers **Upgrade**.

**2. Publish your website**

It works only on your live website. See [Publish your website](https://docs.foundable.com/build/publish.md).

**3. Let your people turn it on**

Each person signs in to your website, connects their own Gmail or Outlook, and turns it on there. Since each email uses your credits, ask Ted to offer it only to the people you choose, like your team.

## Check that it worked

Sign in to your live website as one of its people, connect your email and turn it on. Send that address an email: your website acts on it soon after it arrives.

## If something goes wrong

> [accordion] “… didn’t reach this website in the past week”
>
> In Build, **Tools** › **Security** shows this under **Connections**. Your website didn’t take those emails. Ask Ted to check how your website handles new emails.

> [accordion] Your website stopped acting on new emails
>
> It pauses while your plan doesn’t include it, you’re out of credits, or your website is offline. It starts again by itself once you upgrade, [get more credits](https://docs.foundable.com/account/out-of-credits.md) or publish again.

## FAQ

> [accordion] Can my website read anyone’s email?
>
> No. Each person connects their own account, and your website works only with theirs. No one else’s email reaches it.

> [accordion] Who pays for each email?
>
> You, the owner, from your credits, though your free credits of the day don’t cover it. See [Track your credits and spending](https://docs.foundable.com/account/plans-and-credits.md).
