Send a draft - Automate.ax

sendDraft sends a message already saved in Gmail. Use it after draftEmail, draftReply, or a human review step has produced a ready-to-send draft.

Example

automations/send-approved-draft.automation.ts

import { automation, onHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"
import { sendDraft } from "automate.ax/gmail"

export default automation("Send an approved Gmail draft", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation" })

  sendDraft({
    draftId: "r1234567890",
  })
})

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Default	Description
`draftId`	`string`	Yes	—	Immutable Gmail draft ID to send.
`account`	`string \| IntegrationAccountReference<"google">`	No	Project default	Connected Google account that owns the draft.

Every input, including account, also accepts a compatible Signal. Pass the draftId returned by draftEmail, draftReply, getDraft, searchDrafts, or updateDraft. A draft’s messageId is not accepted here. After Gmail sends the draft, that draft no longer exists as an editable draft.

Output

Returns a Signal<MessageMetadata> with:

Property	Type	Description
`messageId`	`string`	Immutable Gmail ID of the sent message.
`threadId`	`string`	Gmail thread containing the sent message.
`historyId`	`string \| undefined`	Latest mailbox history record affecting the sent message, when supplied.
`labelIds`	`string[]`	Labels applied to the sent message.

The output describes the sent message, not the now-consumed draft.
