Gmail Overview#

By connecting your personal Gmail account to Pipedream, you'll be able to incorporate email into whatever you're building with any of the thousands of apps that are available on Pipedream.

Trigger Code#

import gmail from "../../gmail.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/polling-history.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "gmail-new-labeled-email",
  name: "New Labeled Email",
  description: "Emit new event when a new email is labeled.",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.1.0",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    gmail,
    ...common.props,
    labels: {
      propDefinition: [
        gmail,
        "label",
      ],
      type: "string[]",
      label: "Labels",
    },
    withTextPayload: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Return payload as plaintext",
      description: "Convert the payload response into a single text field. **This reduces the size of the payload and makes it easier for LLMs work with.**",
      default: false,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getHistoryTypes() {
      return [

        "messageAdded",
      ];
    },
    generateMeta(message) {
      return {
        id: `${message.id}-${message.historyId}`,
        summary: `A new message with ID: ${message.id} was labeled"`,
        ts: +message.internalDate,
      };
    },
    filterHistory(history) {
      return history.filter((item) =>
        (item.labelsAdded && item.labelsAdded[0].labelIds.some((i) => this.labels.includes(i)))
        || (item.messagesAdded
          && item.messagesAdded[0].message.labelIds
          && item.messagesAdded[0].message.labelIds.some((i) => this.labels.includes(i))));
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Gmail	`gmail`	`app`	This component uses the Gmail app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Labels	`labels`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Return payload as plaintext	`withTextPayload`	`boolean`	Convert the payload response into a single text field. This reduces the size of the payload and makes it easier for LLMs work with.

Trigger Authentication#

Gmail uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Gmail account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Gmail and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Gmail API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

emailprofileopenidhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.labelshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.sendhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modifyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.composehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.basic

About Gmail#

Gmail offers private and secure email by Google at no cost, for business and consumer accounts.

YouTube Data Overview#

The YouTube Data API lets you incorporate functions normally executed on the YouTube website into your own website or application. You can perform operations like searching for videos, retrieving channel data, and managing playlists. When integrated with Pipedream's serverless platform, this API can be part of automations that react to events, synchronize YouTube data with other services, or generate custom reports.

Action Code#

import youtubeDataApi from "../../youtube_data_api.app.mjs";
import common from "./common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "youtube_data_api-add-playlist-items",
  name: "Add Playlist Items",
  description: "Adds resources to a playlist. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/insert) for more information",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    youtubeDataApi,
    playlistId: {
      propDefinition: [
        youtubeDataApi,
        "userOwnedPlaylist",
      ],
    },
    videoIds: {
      type: "string[]",
      label: "Video IDs",
      description: "Array of identifiers of the videos to be added to the playlist. E.g. `o_U1CQn68VM` The video ID will be located in the URL of the video page, right after the v= URL parameter",
    },
    onBehalfOfContentOwner: {
      propDefinition: [
        youtubeDataApi,
        "onBehalfOfContentOwner",
      ],
    },
    ...common.props,
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
YouTube Data	`youtubeDataApi`	`app`	This component uses the YouTube Data app.
Playlist ID	`playlistId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Video IDs	`videoIds`	`string[]`	Array of identifiers of the videos to be added to the playlist. E.g. `o_U1CQn68VM` The video ID will be located in the URL of the video page, right after the v= URL parameter
On Behalf Of Content Owner	`onBehalfOfContentOwner`	`string`	This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The `onBehalfOfContentOwner` parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.

Action Authentication#

When you connect your YouTube Data account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into YouTube Data and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any YouTube Data API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
