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 Schedule#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
