Welcome to the Fitbit Community @BillWatt. It's nice to see new faces around. I apologize for the delayed response and will be glad to assist you with your Gmail notifications inquiry.

To install an app:

1. With your watch nearby, on the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon  > your device image.
2. Tap Apps > All Apps.
3. Browse the available apps. When you find Gmail and tap it.
4. Tap Install.

Are you following these steps to get those notifications?

Let me know if you need further assistance.

I cannot find the Gmail app. Any hints as to which category it is in. I looked in every one and the ALL apps. Are they using the Gmail icon? I couldn't miss that!

It's great to see you around @KenMig. Currently, there's not an app for Gmail. However, if you would like to activate the notifications, you can do so by following the steps mentioned in this article: How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device?

The App Gallery offers apps to address a variety of health, fitness, timekeeping, and everyday needs. For example, the Weather app allows you to check your local weather on your wrist. Additional apps are added periodically to the App Gallery. You can learn more about it by checking this article: How do I install and manage apps on my Fitbit watch?

Let me know how it goes. I'll be around if you need further assistance.

Well I accidently fixed my issue where Gmail only would not notify. I had Gmail notifications set to silent sound on my galaxy s21 ultra. When I gave up trying to get my ionic to notify me for new mail, I turned on sounds for my Gmail phone notifications and boom, I started getting my Gmail notifications on my ionic. I now think the reason I always got outlook but not Gmail is because outlook always had sound on my phone notifications since its my work email. Now I get both and I can set Gmail to sound but choose the silent sound instead of having silent notifications choose for gmail, which produces the problem. These are two different notification options in Android, again, one is silent notification and the working one is sound notifications but the sound I choose was silent so it still makes no noise.

@BrianPLove Hi there. 

Thank you for sharing the troubleshooting you followed to turn on Gmail notifications. Glad to hear that now you're getting them, I'm sure this will help others on the forums. 

Have a good weekend.
