Use when you need to efficiently remove large numbers of emails (e.g., retention enforcement, mailbox hygiene). Use GMAIL_MOVE_TO_TRASH instead when reversibility may be needed. Always obtain explicit user confirmation and verify a sample of message IDs before executing. High-volume calls may trigger 429 rateLimitExceeded or 403 userRateLimitExceeded errors; apply exponential backoff. - Action **Batch Modify Messages** Modify labels on multiple Gmail messages in one efficient API call.

To add/remove labels from specific messages, use GMAIL_ADD_LABEL_TO_EMAIL action instead. - Action **Delete Message** Permanently deletes a specific email message by its id from a gmail mailbox; for `user id`, use 'me' for the authenticated user or an email address to which the authenticated user has delegated access. - Action **Delete Thread** Tool to immediately and permanently delete a specified thread and all its messages.

Verify recipients and content before forwarding to avoid unintended exposure. Bulk forwarding may trigger 429/5xx rate limits; keep concurrency to 5–10 and apply backoff.

Use when you need to add an existing email to a Gmail account without sending it through SMTP. This method doesn't perform SPF checks, so it might not work for some spam messages. - Action **Insert Message** Tool to insert a message into the user's mailbox similar to IMAP APPEND. Use when you need to add an email directly to a mailbox bypassing most scanning and classification. This does not send a message. - Action **List Drafts** Retrieves a paginated list of email drafts from a user's gmail account. use verbose=true to get full draft details including subject, body, sender, and timestamp. - Action **List History** Tool to list Gmail mailbox change history since a known startHistoryId.

Use when you need to get details about a send-as email address including display name, signature, SMTP settings, and verification status.

Any of Avaza's 25 triggers in the catalog, including Company Updated, Contact Updated, Estimate Updated and Expense Updated. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Gmail when something happens in Avaza? Any of Gmail's 41 actions, including Create Email Draft, Create Label, Send Draft and Send Email. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Gmail to Avaza? Yes. When something happens in Gmail, your agent can act in Avaza too. This page covers both directions: Gmail's triggers and Avaza's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Avaza or Gmail? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Avaza and Gmail without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
