A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Questions,
answered.

Fast fixes for auth, setup, and discovery.

Do I need a Mermail API key?

No. Connect through OAuth in ChatGPT Apps and add no custom headers.

What if dots or custom apps are unavailable?

Availability depends on your account and workspace. Check OpenAI’s rollout and ask your admin about app access.

Can my dot send email or make payments on its own?

Actions follow your instructions, app permissions, and approval rules. Connecting Mermail is not blanket permission.

Does my dot need access to my personal inbox?

No. Use a dedicated Mermail mailbox for its work and share only the email context it needs.
