Popular Gmail and Filter Actions#
Overview of Gmail#
By connecting your personal Gmail account to Pipedream, you'll be able to incorporate email into whatever you're building with any of the thousands of apps that are available on Pipedream.
Connect Gmail#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
gmail: {
type: "app",
app: "gmail",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.gmail.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Filter#
The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.
Connect Filter#
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let condition = false
if (condition == false) {
$.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
} else {
$.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
}
},
})
