Getting Started

To connect your Gmail account to Pipedream, just accept the prompt when connecting your Gmail account.

What's the difference between the Gmail app and the Gmail Developer App?

Google requires integration platforms such as Pipedream, to restrict the scopes users can enable for Gmail, in order to regulate the ability of users to build workflows and connect applications.

Currently, the Gmail app on Pipedream is limited to only sending emails on behalf of your Gmail email address associated with this app.

However, the Gmail Developer App is unrestricted because you have the ability to control the scopes through creating your own Google Cloud Project.

Because you can define your own scopes, you can read and write emails with your own Google Cloud Project. To learn how to create and authenticate a Gmail Developer App read our setup guide.

Authentication

Gmail uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Gmail account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Gmail and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Gmail API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.sendhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.labels
OAuth Request Configurations:
  1. authorization
    GEThttps://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id={{oauth.client_id}}&state={{oauth.state}}&redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}&response_type=code&scope={{oauth.space_separated_scopes}}&access_type=offline&prompt=consent
  2. accessToken
    POSThttps://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokencontent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedaccept: application/json
    client_id={{oauth.client_id}}&client_secret={{oauth.client_secret}}&grant_type=authorization_code&code={{oauth.code}}&redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
  3. refreshToken
    POSThttps://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokencontent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedaccept: application/json
    client_id={{oauth.client_id}}&client_secret={{oauth.client_secret}}&grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token={{oauth.refresh_token}}
