Get raw message - Automate.ax

gmail.getRawMessage returns Gmail’s raw RFC 5322 source for protocols, signature verification, or specialized parsing. Most automations should use Get message.

Example

automations/get-raw-message.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { gmail } from "automate.ax/gmail"

export default automation("Get raw Gmail source", () => {
  gmail.getRawMessage({
    messageId: "18f2c7a9b4d12345",
  })
})

Inputs

Property	Type	Required	Description
`messageId`	`string`	Yes	Immutable Gmail message ID.
Second argument: `{ account }`	`string \| IntegrationAccountReference<"google">`	No	Google Account binding. Defaults to the project binding.

Inputs accept compatible signals.

Output

Returns the base64url-encoded RFC 5322 message as a Signal<string>. Decode it before using a parser that expects raw bytes or text.

const source = Buffer.from(encodedMessage, "base64url")

The output can contain message bodies, recipient data, and attachment contents. Treat it as sensitive mailbox data.
