Recipient suggestions
The To field already knows.
Start typing and the people from your own threads are offered, ranked by how often and how recently they turn up. Nothing to import first.
In short
What is recipient autocomplete?
Recipient autocomplete offers matching people as you type an address, so you pick a name instead of spelling one out. Mail apps build that list from an address book, from mail already exchanged, or from both.
How it works
Ranked by habit, not alphabet
The closest match to what you type comes first, then whoever turns up in the most threads, then the most recent. Names and addresses both match.
A book that fills itself
Send to somebody and they are added to Contacts in the sidebar, which is offered above the names read from your threads.
One book for the workspace
What anybody saves, everybody sees, and the API and the MCP server read and write the same rows. Audiences sort the book into named lists.
Scopes for the contact book
Give an API key only the ones it needs.

Good practice
Getting the most out of it
- 01
Save for the team
Names read from threads are offered to the workspace owner only, so save anybody colleagues need to reach.
- 02
Keep one-off senders
Somebody who has only written to you drops out after 100 newer threads unless you save them.
- 03
Type the domain
Addresses match too, so typing acme offers the people at acme.com.
Where it stands
Good to know
- Sending to an audience
- An audience groups contacts and nothing more. This version sends nothing to one.
