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: "0.0.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    gmail,
    label: {
      propDefinition: [
        gmail,
        "label",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getHistoryTypes() {
      return [
        "labelAdded",
        "messageAdded",
      ];
    },
    generateMeta(message) {
      return {
        id: `${message.id}-${this.label}`,
        summary: `A new message with ID: ${message.id} was labeled with "${this.label}"`,
        ts: +message.internalDate,
      };
    },
    filterHistory(history) {
      return history.filter((item) =>
        (item.labelsAdded && item.labelsAdded[0].labelIds.includes(this.label))
        || (item.messagesAdded
          && item.messagesAdded[0].message.labelIds
          && item.messagesAdded[0].message.labelIds.includes(this.label)));
    },
  },
  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
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

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
