With the Gmail (Developer App) API on Pipedream, you can automate a variety of email-related tasks, directly manipulating your Gmail account to streamline workflows. From sending emails programmatically to parsing new inbound messages for data extraction, the API allows for deep interaction with your Gmail inbox. Use cases include automating follow-ups, organizing your inbox with filters and labels, and synchronizing important email events with other services to act upon new information instantly.

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
Discord	`discord`	`app`	This component uses the Discord app.
channel	`channel`	`$.discord.channel`
Message	`message`	`string`	Enter a simple message up to 2000 characters. This is the most commonly used field. However, it's optional if you pass embed content.
Thread ID	`threadID`	`string`	If provided, the message will be posted to this thread
Username	`username`	`string`	Overrides the current username of the webhook
Avatar URL	`avatarURL`	`string`	If used, it overrides the default avatar of the webhook. Note: Consecutive posts by the same username within 10 minutes of each other will not display updated avatar.
Include link to workflow	`includeSentViaPipedream`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, includes a link to this workflow at the end of your Discord message.
Suppress notifications	`suppressNotifications`	`boolean`	Defaults to `false`, sends the message as silent, triggers no notifications to clients.
Embeds	`embeds`	`any`	Optionally pass an array of embed objects. E.g., {{ [{"description":"Use markdown including Italic bold __underline__ ~~strikeout~~ [hyperlink](https://google.com) `code`"}] }}. To pass data from another step, enter a reference using double curly brackets (e.g., `{{steps.mydata.$return_value}}`). Tip: Construct the `embeds` array in a Node.js code step, return it, and then pass the return value to this step.
