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: "0.0.6",
  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`
Gmail	`gmail`	`app`	This component uses the Gmail app.
Label	`label`	`string`	Select 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

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

import notion from "../../notion.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "notion-retrieve-block",
  name: "Retrieve Block",

      description: "The identifier for a Notion block",
    },
    retrieveChildren: {
      type: "boolean",

      optional: true,
      default: false,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const block = await this.notion.retrieveBlock(this.blockId);
    if (this.retrieveChildren) {
