Tobu makes it easy to extract resumes from your Gmail inbox, transforming your email history into a powerful, searchable resume database.

Tobu integrates directly with Gmail accounts using secure Google authorization.

=== Steps to Link Your Gmail Account ===
# Log in to your Tobu account.
# Go to '''Resume Sources''' and select '''Add Email Account'''.
# Choose '''Gmail''' from the options.

Once connected, Tobu starts scanning your Gmail inbox for resumes.

== Resume Extraction and Parsing ==
* Tobu scans your email history to extract all past resumes.
* New resumes arriving in your inbox will be detected automatically.
* Each resume is parsed into searchable fields like name, email, phone, work experience, education, and skills.

== Sync Timing ==
