Recipe Search And Export Emails
googleworkspace/cliOfficial
Need to pull specific emails out of Gmail for analysis or record keeping? This recipe chains together Gmail API calls to search your inbox using Gmail's query syntax (sender, dates, labels, whatever), then exports the full message details to JSON. It's essentially a three step process: search with your query, grab full messages by ID, pipe everything to a file. Requires the gws-gmail skill as a dependency. The JSON export angle is genuinely useful if you're building reports, doing compliance audits, or just want a local backup of project correspondence without clicking through the web interface. Straightforward automation for a common pain point.
