 * Hi there. Sorry it’s not working.

   > Developers Console to update your configuration.
 * You have to enable the Gmail API for your Google account using the Google Developer
   Console. The magic link from Postman should do it automatically for you. But 
   if it doesn’t, just enable it yourself.
 * Here’s a screenshot of where to find it in the Google Developer Console.
