On email sent - Automate.ax

onGmailEmailSent subscribes an automation to messages sent from the connected Gmail mailbox. Use it to record outbound conversations or continue work after a person sends a message. The trigger emits the same fully parsed message shape as Get message, including headers, MIME bodies, labels, and attachment File objects.

Example

automations/track-sent-email.automation.ts

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

export default automation("Track sent Gmail messages", () => {
  const message = onGmailEmailSent()

  message.transform(({ messageId, subject, to }) => ({
    messageId,
    subject,
    recipients: to.map(({ address }) => address),
  }))
})

Options

Property	Type	Required	Description
`account`	`string \| IntegrationAccountReference<"google">`	No	Static Google account binding to watch. Defaults to the project’s default Google account binding.

You can call onGmailEmailSent() without an options object. The account selection must be static: a Signal cannot choose which mailbox to watch at runtime.

Trigger data

Returns a Signal<Message> for each qualifying message. See Get message for the complete Message shape.

Behavior

Only messages newly added to Gmail’s SENT collection qualify. Existing sent messages are not replayed when you deploy the trigger.
The parsed from.address must match the watched mailbox. A different send-as alias does not qualify.
Messages carrying Automate.ax’s outbound marker are excluded to prevent recursive automation loops.
Gmail message IDs provide idempotency, so repeated notifications for the same sent message do not create duplicate events.
