Gmail Overview#

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.

Trigger Code#

import gmail from "../../gmail.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/polling-messages.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "gmail-new-sent-email",
  name: "New Sent Email",
  description: "Emit new event for each new email sent. (Maximum of 100 events emited per execution)",
  version: "0.1.0",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    gmail,
    ...common.props,
    q: {
      propDefinition: [
        gmail,
        "q",
      ],
    },
    withTextPayload: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Return payload as plaintext",
      description: "Convert the payload response into a single text field. **This reduces the size of the payload and makes it easier for LLMs work with.**",
      default: false,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getLabels() {
      return [
        "SENT",
      ];
    },
    generateMeta(message) {
      return {
        id: message.id,
        summary: message.snippet,
        ts: +message.internalDate,
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Gmail	`gmail`	`app`	This component uses the Gmail app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Search Query	`q`	`string`	Apply a search filter using Gmail's standard search operators
Return payload as plaintext	`withTextPayload`	`boolean`	Convert the payload response into a single text field. This reduces the size of the payload and makes it easier for LLMs work with.

Trigger 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:

emailprofileopenidhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.labelshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.sendhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modifyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.composehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.basic

About Gmail#

Gmail offers private and secure email by Google at no cost, for business and consumer accounts.
