Frequently Asked Questions about AWS Lambda + Gmail integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with AWS Lambda and Gmail

To set up AWS Lambda for sending specific Gmail notifications, you need to configure a trigger that activates the Lambda function. This could be an event like receiving an email in Gmail that meets certain criteria (using Gmail's API and AWS services like SNS). Once triggered, the Lambda function can process the email data and carry out actions such as sending notifications.

Yes, automatic responses can be triggered using AWS Lambda. Set up a trigger based on specific conditions such as receiving an email from certain senders or with certain keywords. The Lambda function can then be configured to reply with a pre-defined message.

You'll need to set up appropriate OAuth 2.0 credentials in Google Developer Console to give your AWS Lambda function permission to access your Gmail account. Permissions usually include reading emails, sending emails, and managing draft emails.

No server is necessary when using AWS Lambda. It is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to defined events from triggers without needing traditional server setups.

When an email with attachments meets your specified criteria, it triggers the AWS Lambda function. The function can then download and process these attachments by interacting with the Gmail API and potentially store them using other AWS services like S3.

Triggers can include receiving new emails meeting certain criteria, changes in label or status of messages, or calendar event updates linked through Google APIs. These trigger the associated action within your workflow involving various cloud service integrations.

Yes, you could schedule follow-up emails by utilizing time-based triggers within your workflow setup. For instance, setting CloudWatch events as cron jobs that periodically check for conditions met before triggering an action via Lambda that sends follow-ups through Gmail.
