Overview of IMAP#

Using Pipedream's IMAP API, developers can automate interactions with their email inbox, enabling serverless workflows that perform actions based on incoming emails. This could include parsing email contents, triggering events upon receiving emails from specific senders, attaching labels, and much more. By leveraging IMAP, Pipedream can act as a bridge between your email and other services, streamlining processes that would otherwise require manual intervention.

Connect IMAP#

import { once } from "events";
import imaps from "imap-simple";
import cycle from "cycle";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    imap: {
      type: "app",
      app: "imap",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const { host, port, email, password } = this.imap.$auth;

    const connection = await imaps.connect({
      imap: {
        host,
        port,
        user: email,
        password,
        tls: true,
        tlsOptions: { servername: host },
        authTimeout: 3000
      },
    });

    const boxes = await connection.getBoxes();
    // Filter out circular references to parents
    const filteredBoxes = cycle.decycle(boxes);
    $.export("results", filteredBoxes);

    connection.end();
    await once(connection.imap, "end");
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.

Connect Data Stores#

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    myDataStore: {
      type: "data_store",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
  },
})
