Receive webhook from Gmail or Outlook

akbarputrapai · 2024-08-30T17:26:17.699Z

Has anyone here ever integrated with Gmail or Outlook using webhooks to trigger actions when an email is received?

I have an application that is already integrated with these platforms for sending emails, but I need a trigger that activates when there is a reply to an email. This trigger should notify Bubble and create data there.

Does anyone have experience with this?

If you want a fast setup looks like Zapier has something like that:

I’m not a fan of middlemen Zapier/Make but I glossed over the Gmail API and didn’t really see anything about Webhooks (not sure how Zapier is doing it but of course there’s a way cause they are using it)

I have used Gmail APIs with server less functions, using oAuth, you can get all emails recieved within a timeframe and can trigger a webhook if certain conditions are met.
Btw now this permission to read emails are very costly to setup after Gmail dev policy changes

I’m building a SaaS app, so I believe this should be automated without manually integrating external services like Make or Zapier.

Do you have documentation for webhooks in Gmail? I couldn’t find it.

Nah, it was all custom code.
No docs available.
