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.

High-volume calls may return 429 rateLimitExceeded or 403 userRateLimitExceeded; apply exponential backoff. - Action **Create Email Draft** Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading. - Action **Create Label** Creates a new label with a unique name in the specified user's gmail account. - Action **Delete Draft** Permanently deletes a specific gmail draft using its id; ensure the draft exists and the user has necessary permissions for the given `user id`. - Action **Delete Label** Permanently DELETES a user-created Gmail label from the account (not from a message). WARNING: This action DELETES the label definition itself, removing it from all messages. System labels (INBOX, SENT, UNREAD, etc.) cannot be deleted. 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. This operation cannot be undone. Use threads.trash instead for reversible deletion. - Action **Fetch Emails** Fetches a list of email messages from a gmail account, supporting filtering, pagination, and optional full content retrieval. - Action **Fetch Message By Message Id** Fetches a specific email message by its id, provided the `message id` exists and is accessible to the authenticated `user id`. - Action **Fetch Message By Thread Id** Retrieves messages from a gmail thread using its `thread id`, where the thread must be accessible by the specified `user id`. - Action **Forward Message** Forward an existing Gmail message to specified recipients, preserving original body and attachments. 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 for incremental mailbox syncs. Persist the latest historyId as a checkpoint across sessions; without it, incremental sync is unreliable. An empty history list in the response is valid and means no new changes occurred. - Action **List Labels** Retrieves a list of all system and user-created labels for the specified gmail account. - Action **List Smime Info** Lists S/MIME configs for the specified send-as alias. Use when you need to retrieve all S/MIME certificate configurations associated with a specific send-as email address. - Action **List Threads** Retrieves a list of email threads from a gmail account, identified by `user id` (email address or 'me'), supporting filtering and pagination. - Action **Modify Thread Labels** Adds or removes specified existing label ids from a gmail thread, affecting all its messages; ensure the thread id is valid. - Action **Move Thread To Trash** Moves the specified thread to the trash.

Use when you need to get details about a send-as email address including display name, signature, SMTP settings, and verification status. Fails with HTTP 404 if the specified address is not a member of the send-as collection. - Action **Untrash Message** Tool to remove a message from trash in Gmail.

Use when you need to restore a deleted thread and its messages. - Action **Update Draft** Updates (replaces) an existing Gmail draft's content in-place by draft ID.

Use when you need to modify label name, visibility settings, or color. ## Each app on its own - [ **Lexware Office** Lexware Office is a cloud app for german accounting.](https://apiant.ai/connections/lexware-office) - [ **Gmail** Gmail is Google’s email service, featuring spam protection, search functions, and seamless integration with...](https://apiant.ai/connections/gmail) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Lexware Office - [ **Lexware Office to Base44** Base44 is a platform that allows non-technical people to build their own Apps using AI.](https://apiant.ai/connect/lexware-office-to-base44) - [ **Lexware Office to Browserless** Browserless allows you to run Chrome instances in the cloud for Data Extraction, Automation, PDF &...](https://apiant.ai/connect/lexware-office-to-browserless) - [ **Lexware Office to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/lexware-office-to-salesforce) - [ **Lexware Office to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.
