# Google Mail

> Google Mail is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 3k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Google Mail is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects a Google Mail account through Google's cloud. It adds a notifier and a sensor that reports the end date of the vacation responder. An action called set vacation changes the vacation responder settings for the account from Home Assistant. Setup runs in the user interface, using application credentials and Google's own sign-in page to authenticate.
