Get raw message

getRawMessage retrieves Gmail’s raw RFC 5322 message source. Use this escape hatch when a protocol, signature verifier, or specialized mail parser needs the original message instead of Automate.ax’s parsed message fields. Most automations should use Get message.

Example

automations/get-raw-message.automation.ts

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

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

Inputs

Property	Type	Required	Description
`messageId`	`string`	Yes	Immutable Gmail message ID.
`account`	`string \| IntegrationAccountReference<"google">`	No	Google account binding to use. Defaults to the project’s default Google account binding.

Each input can also be a compatible Signal from an earlier trigger or action.

Output

Returns a Signal<string> containing the base64url-encoded RFC 5322 message. Decode it before passing it to a parser that expects raw message 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.
