Connect Pipedream to any IMAP email provider to trigger custom workflows.
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
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.
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");
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
