ChatGPT plugins for Communication
208 plugins, apps and MCP servers in Communication, ranked by official status, traction and completeness. Page 1 of 4.
Communication plugins get daily use because the jobs are daily: triage an inbox, summarize a long thread or a busy channel, draft a reply with the context in front of it, and pull action items out of a meeting. Several can also send messages, and that is where you need to pay attention.
OpenAI builds the Gmail, Outlook Email and Microsoft Teams integrations itself, and Slack publishes its own; each is packaged as a plugin that works in ChatGPT and in Codex. Meeting tools such as Zoom, Otter.ai and Fireflies connect your recordings, transcripts and recaps. MCP servers serve developers: Google's Gmail server (part of a Google Workspace developer preview that needs a Google Cloud project), Slack's official server, Twilio for messaging and voice APIs, and Resend for sending email. On a Mac, OpenAI's Apple Messages plugin for the ChatGPT desktop app can read and search iMessage, SMS and RCS chats.
Before you connect:
- Decide when to approve sends. Superhuman Mail can send email and the Teams app can send replies. Set connected apps to ask before making changes, and read the recipient and text before you approve.
- Watch for instructions hidden in messages. An email or chat message can contain text written to steer the model, so be most careful when one session both reads your inbox and can send.
- Use the right account. The Teams app needs a Microsoft work or school account, and in a company workspace your admin controls which plugins you can use.
Top picks for Communication
OpenAI's Gmail plugin summarizes your inbox, drafts replies and works through email threads, in ChatGPT and in Codex. A sensible first install for anyone whose day runs through Gmail.
The same idea for Microsoft Outlook: triage your inbox, summarize threads, and draft replies or forwards. It is built by OpenAI on its first-party Outlook connector and suits people whose work email lives in Outlook.
Searches Slack, summarizes channels and unread activity, and drafts replies or updates in context. Useful for catching up after time away; it can only see what your connected Slack account can see.
Searches Teams messages, summarizes chats and channels, sends replies and manages Planner tasks. It requires a Microsoft work or school account, so it's for workplaces and schools that run on Teams.
Works across Gmail, Outlook and Google Calendar with multiple accounts: search, summarize, draft in your voice, check read status, send email and schedule events. Strong for heavy email users, but because it can send and schedule, keep confirmations on.

- Can ChatGPT read and reply to my email?
Yes. Install the Gmail or Outlook Email plugin and connect your account; ChatGPT can then search and summarize your mail and draft replies. Superhuman Mail can also send email and schedule events across several Gmail and Outlook accounts. Keep apps set to ask before making changes, and check every recipient before you approve a send. See how to install plugins in ChatGPT.
- Can ChatGPT summarize Slack or Microsoft Teams messages?
Yes. The Slack plugin summarizes channels and unread activity and drafts replies, and Microsoft Teams summarizes chats and channels, sends replies and manages Planner tasks. Teams needs a Microsoft work or school account. Developers who want Slack in Codex or their own agent can use Slack's MCP server, which can also send and schedule messages and create canvases.
- Can ChatGPT summarize my Zoom meetings?
Yes. The Zoom app gives recaps of your meetings and answers questions about what was discussed, and the Zoom plugin adds developer skills for building Zoom integrations. If you record meetings with other tools, Otter.ai searches your transcripts, summaries and action items, and Fireflies.ai has an MCP server for transcripts, summaries and soundbites.
- Can ChatGPT send text messages?
On a Mac, yes. OpenAI's Apple Messages plugin for the ChatGPT desktop app can read and search iMessage, SMS and RCS chats, and by default it sends only after you approve the message and its recipients. Choosing to always allow sending to a chat removes that last check. Developers can send SMS through Twilio's MCP server, an alpha package that runs locally with your Account SID and an API key.
