Connect Pipedream to any IMAP email provider to trigger custom workflows.
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");
},
})
The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.
