gmail

@byungkyu

Gmail API integration with managed OAuth. Read, send, and manage emails, threads, labels, and drafts. Use this skill when users want to interact with Gmail. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn a Gmail connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs a Gmail action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with Gmail examples; they add no Gmail capability - Gmail is itself an event source, so its own events are in `references/google-mail/triggers.md`, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).
