Getting the Full Email Body from Gmail Connector You're right that

snippet

is just a short preview. The full email body is available in the

payload

field of the

messages_details

stream. Where to find the body The

messages_details

stream returns the full message payload from the Gmail API (

users.messages.get

), which includes: [Gmail streams] •

payload.body.data

— the raw body content (base64url-encoded) for simple (non-multipart) messages •

payload.parts

— an array of MIME parts for multipart messages (e.g., emails with both plain text and HTML versions, or attachments) ◦ Each part has its own

body.data

field containing the base64url-encoded content ◦

mimeType

on each part tells you whether it's

text/plain

,

text/html

, etc. Schema reference From the

messages_details

schema: [manifest.yaml]

payload:
  body:
    data: string (base64url-encoded body)
    size: number
  headers: array  ← sender, recipient, subject, date, etc.
  mimeType: string
  parts:
    - body:
        data: string (base64url-encoded part body)
      mimeType: string  ← e.g. "text/plain" or "text/html"
      headers: array

Key points 1. Decode the content: The

data

fields are base64url-encoded, so you'll need to decode them to get the readable text. 2. Multipart emails: Most modern emails are multipart. You'll need to iterate through

payload.parts

and find the part with

mimeType: "text/plain"

or

mimeType: "text/html"

for the full body. 3. Nested parts: Some emails have nested multipart structures (e.g.,

multipart/mixed

containing

multipart/alternative

), so you may need to recurse through

parts

within

parts

. 4. Headers:

payload.headers

contains the full email headers (From, To, Subject, Date, etc.). So in summary — the full email body is in

messages_details.payload.body.data

(simple emails) or `messages_details.payload.parts[].body.data`* (multipart emails), not in

snippet
