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 Python#
Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow
This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.
Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Python#
def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
# Reference data from previous steps
print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
# Return data for use in future steps
return {"foo": {"test":True}}Trusted by 1,000,000+ developers from startups to Fortune 500 companies
