FAQPage Schema
How do I forward Gmail messages with a specific label?▼

List messages with the Gmail API using a query like "label:needs-review", retrieve each message's content by ID, then send a new email containing the original subject and body to the target address using gws gmail +send.

How to search Gmail messages by label using the Gmail API?▼

Use the users messages list endpoint with a query parameter such as "label:needs-review" and userId set to "me". The gws CLI command returns matching messages in table format for further processing.

What tools are required to forward labeled Gmail messages?▼

This recipe requires the gws command-line tool and the gws-gmail skill, which provides access to Gmail API operations including listing, reading, and sending messages.

Does this forward emails as attachments or inline content?▼

It forwards content inline by composing a new email with the original subject prefixed with FW and the original message body in the new email body. It does not attach the original message as an .eml file.

Why does the Gmail label search return no messages?▼

The label name in the query must exactly match an existing Gmail label, including hyphens or capitalization. Verify the label exists in your Gmail account and that the authenticated user has messages under that label.
