Email parsing in pipedream.
Based on the information provided, it seems you are interested in parsing emails within Pipedream. Pipedream provides an Email trigger that creates a unique email address for your workflow. Any email sent to this address triggers your workflow, and Pipedream parses the email’s body, headers, and attachments into a JavaScript object. This object is accessible within your workflow as steps.trigger.event. Here’s a basic example of how you can access the parsed email data in a Pipedream workflow: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Accessing the parsed email data const subject = steps.trigger.event.subject; const body = steps.trigger.event.body; const headers = steps.trigger.event.headers; // You can now use these variables in your workflow }, });
how to send multiple email with attachments using gmail
To send multiple emails with attachments using Gmail in Pipedream, you can use the Gmail app’s Send Email action. Here’s how you can set it up: 1. Search for the Gmail app from the step menu in your Pipedream workflow. 2. Select the Send Email action. 3. Connect your Gmail account. 4. For each email you want to send, you will need to configure the action with the recipient’s email address in the “To” field, the subject in the “Subject” field, and the email body in the “Email Body” field. 5. To add attachments, you will need to provide the attachment data as a part of the action configuration. This typically involves specifying the attachment’s MIME type, the file name, and the content in base64-encoded format. Since the Pipedream documentation provided does not include a direct example of sending an email with attachments using the Gmail action, you would need to follow the general structure of using the Gmail API to include attachments in your emails. Here’s a general example of how you might structure the Pipedream component code to send an email with attachments using the Gmail API: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { gmail: { type: “app”, app: “gmail”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const emailContent = { to: “recipient@example.com”, subject: “Your Subject Here”, message: “Your email body here”, attachments: [ { filename: “attachment.txt”, content: Buffer.from(“Hello, world!”).toString(“base64”), type: “text/plain”, disposition: “attachment”, }, ], }; // Construct the raw MIME message const rawMessage = constructMimeMessage(emailContent); return await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.gmail.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “message/rfc822”, }, data: rawMessage, }); }, }); function constructMimeMessage({ to, subject, message, attachments }) { // You will need to construct a MIME message that includes the attachments // This is a placeholder function and would need to be implemented
can you write an example on how to construct the MIME message that includes the aatchments
To construct a MIME message with attachments in Node.js, you can use the nodemailer package. Below is an example of how you might construct and send an email with attachments using nodemailer. Please note that you’ll need to replace the placeholders with actual values and have a mail server or SMTP service to send the email. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; import nodemailer from "nodemailer"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Create a transporter object using the default SMTP transport let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({ host: "your_smtp_host", port: 587, secure: false, // true for 465, false for other ports auth: { user: "your_smtp_username", pass: "your_smtp_password", }, }); // Message object let message = { from: "[sender@example.com](mailto:sender@example.com)", to: "[recipient@example.com](mailto:recipient@example.com)", subject: "Subject of the email", text: "Plain text body of the email", html: "<p>HTML version of the message</p>", // An array of attachments attachments: [ { filename: "text_file.txt", content: "Hello World!", }, { path: "/path/to/file.pdf", // Path to the file in your system }, { filename: "image.png", path: "https://example.com/image.png", // URL to the file }, ], }; // Send the email let info = await transporter.sendMail(message); // Output the result return info; }, }); In this example, attachments is an array where each element represents an attachment. You can include the content directly (as with the text file), specify a file path (as with the PDF), or provide a URL to the file (as with the image). When using Pipedream, you should download files to the /tmp directory before attaching them. Remember to install the nodemailer package by importing it at the top of your code. Since Pipedream’s environment already includes many popular npm packages, you may not need to install nodemailer separately. Please adjust the SMTP transport configuration, sender, recipient, and attachment details according to your specific requirements.
Hi , have you tried the Gmail - Send Email action? Pi’s answer was slightly misleading, configuring and sending attachments via props is easy, you’ll just need to add a key and a URL for the attachment
Thanks , it works perfectly.
