Connect GoDaddy Workspace Email to Perplexity

Updated 1 November 2026

Yes — Perplexity can read, search and reply to your GoDaddy Workspace Email through Mailopoly. Connect GoDaddy Workspace Email to Mailopoly over IMAP with your normal mailbox password, add Mailopoly to Perplexity as a custom connector, sign in and ask. One connection covers GoDaddy email and every other account you own. This covers GoDaddy's own Workspace Email. If your GoDaddy plan is Microsoft 365, connect it with a Microsoft sign-in instead.

Before you start

A Mailopoly account — 7-day free trial, no credit card.

Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise — custom connectors aren't on the free plan. On Enterprise, an admin allows custom connectors first.

Connect GoDaddy Workspace Email to Perplexity in three steps

1 Connect GoDaddy Workspace Email to Mailopoly

Start a Mailopoly account at mailopoly.com/sign-up — 7-day free trial, no credit card.
In Mailopoly choose Add email account and enter your full address.
Enter the mailbox password. Mailopoly fills in the server settings for you.

2 Add Mailopoly to Perplexity

This part is the same whatever you connected in step 1.

Add Mailopoly to Perplexity

These steps are taken from public documentation, and we haven't yet checked each one in Perplexity ourselves. If a label doesn't match what you see, Perplexity's own help page, linked below, has the current wording.

In Perplexity, open Account settings → Connectors.
Choose + Custom connector at the top right, then Remote.
Name it Mailopoly and enter https://fastapi.prod.aws.mailopoly.com/mcp-server/ as the MCP Server URL. For Authentication choose OAuth 2.0 — there's no client ID or secret to fill in, Mailopoly registers Perplexity itself — and for Transport choose Streamable HTTP.
Tick the box confirming you understand the risks of custom connectors, choose Add, then click the Mailopoly card to sign in.
Sign in with your Mailopoly account, then choose what Perplexity is allowed to do. Reading, making changes and sending are separate permissions.
Back in Perplexity, ask.

Perplexity takes Mailopoly as a custom remote connector, so the only thing to paste is one address. Custom connectors are available on Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise; on Enterprise, an admin has to allow them for the organisation first.

3 Ask about your GoDaddy email

Whatever you've connected to Mailopoly is what your assistant can reach. Some things people ask on day one:

What came into my business inbox today?
Find the customer's last order email and tell me what they asked for.
Reply to the last enquiry from my business address.

GoDaddy Workspace Email server settings

Mailopoly fills these in for you when you enter your address. They're here in case you need to check them or your provider uses something unusual.

IMAP server	imap.secureserver.net
Port	993
Security	SSL/TLS
Username	Your full email address
Password	Your Workspace Email mailbox password

What Perplexity can do with GoDaddy Workspace Email through Mailopoly

Search GoDaddy Workspace Email — and every other account you own — in one question. By sender, date, topic, or the half-remembered phrase somewhere in the body.
Read your Cleanbox, not your whole inbox. Mailopoly sorts GoDaddy email as it arrives: personal and important mail in Cleanbox, promotions and newsletters in Other. Ask for either.
Summarise a thread, a day or a week. "What did the school send this week?" comes back as an answer, not a list of links.
Reply from your GoDaddy email address, in your voice. Save a draft to Mailopoly for review, or send — sending is a separate permission and a confirm-first action.
Schedule a send for later, and cancel it if you change your mind.
Pull out invoices, events and deliveries. Amounts and due dates, calendar invitations, parcel tracking — extracted on arrival and added to My Day.
Find an attachment. Every attachment from GoDaddy email lands in PolyBox, so "find the PDF the accountant sent" just works.
Unsubscribe, snooze, file and mark read from the chat, on whichever account the mail belongs to.

Reading, making changes and sending are separate permissions you grant when you connect, and you can revoke Perplexity at any time from Settings → Security in the Mailopoly app. More on the security page.

What goes wrong with GoDaddy Workspace Email, and the fix

GoDaddy sells two different email products. Microsoft 365 mailboxes bought through GoDaddy connect with a Microsoft sign-in — use the Outlook guide. Only the older Workspace Email uses these IMAP settings.
Use your full email address as the username, not just the part before the @.
Your GoDaddy account login is not the mailbox password. Mailbox passwords are managed in the email dashboard.
No + Custom connector button in Perplexity: custom connectors need Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise. On Enterprise, ask your admin to allow custom connectors for the organisation.
The Mailopoly card says it isn't connected: adding the connector doesn't sign you in. Click the Mailopoly card in Account settings → Connectors and finish the Mailopoly sign-in.
Perplexity can't reach the server: check the address is exactly https://fastapi.prod.aws.mailopoly.com/mcp-server/, Authentication is OAuth 2.0 and Transport is Streamable HTTP, then remove the connector and add it again.
