Limitations

  • The Gmail data store is only supported in the EU, US, and Global locations.

  • When creating a new application or adding a data store to an existing application, we recommend that you add a data store of a single connector type. For example, don't associate two Gmail data stores with actions in the same application.

  • If you use security controls, be aware of their limitations related to data in Gmail, as discussed in the following table:

    Security control Note the following
    Data Residency (DRZ) Gemini Enterprise only guarantees data residency in Google Cloud. For information about data residency and Gmail, see Google Workspace compliance guidance and documentation, including Data regions for Google Workspace. Also review examples like Choose the region where data is stored and Digital sovereignty.
    Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) Your keys only encrypt data within Google Cloud. Cloud Key Management Service controls don't apply to data stored in Gmail.
