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 GitHub#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.
