How automating Gmail works

1. Describe the outcome. Say what you want to happen, in your own words. No node graphs, no field mapping.
2. Approve the contract. HumDay writes down exactly what it will do, what it will touch, and what it will never do. You approve it before anything is built.
3. See it proven. The program runs and shows you the result before it is allowed near your live Gmail account.
4. Grant access, then go live. You approve the specific Gmail operations it may use — and only those.

Questions about Gmail automation

Can HumDay connect to Gmail?

Yes. HumDay reads Gmail's own published API description and derives the operations from it, so there is no hand-built connector to wait for. 79 operations are documented.

Do I need to write code to automate Gmail?

No. You describe the outcome you want in plain words. HumDay agrees a contract with you, writes the program, and shows you a test run before anything touches your Gmail account.

What can HumDay do in Gmail?

49 of the 79 documented operations change something in Gmail, and 30 read from it. HumDay only ever uses the specific operations your approved contract needs.

Is my Gmail account safe?

Your credentials are stored encrypted and are never shown in chat, code, or logs. Every run is limited to the operations you explicitly approved, and anything that writes to Gmail is held behind that approval.

Where this came from

The operations above are read from a published API description for Gmail at gmail.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1. Descriptions are the provider’s own words, not ours. Last published 2023-04-21.
