<Note>
  * The integration uses OAuth for secure authentication, so you do not need to create or manage app passwords.
  * By default, Gmail does not provide message delivery status, and this feature is not configurable.
  * You can revoke Siren's access at any time through your Google Account settings under "Security" > "Third-party apps with account access".
