Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a new email is labeled.
Version:0.0.5
Key:gmail-new-labeled-email

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: "0.0.5",
  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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
timer$.interface.timer
GmailgmailappThis component uses the Gmail app.
LabellabelstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.

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.
