  • You will now receive a Client-ID and Client secret, copy and paste the settings somewere save since you will be needing these later.

Step 2: Sign in with the Client-ID and secret

Initiate the Gmail class

$gmail = new Gmail();
$gmail->getAuthUrl();

Use the returned code from the previous call to create a access + refresh token

$gmail->makeAccessToken($code);

Step 3: make use of it all

Initiate connection

$gmail = MartijnWagena\Gmail\Mail::create()
            ->setAccessToken($access_token, $refresh_token)
            ->setStartDate($date);

Check if token refresh needed

$gmail->isAccessTokenExpired();

Fetch all messages starting from the 'setStartDate', you only receive the ids of the messages

$gmail->fetch();

To fetch details of a message, use the code below

$gmail->getMessage($id, $threadId);

Send mails with the api

$gmail = MartijnWagena\Gmail\Send::create()->setAccessToken($access_token, $refresh_token);

$gmail->sendMail(
    [['email' => 'name@mail.com']],
    [['email' => 'name2@mail.com']],
    [['email' => 'name3@mail.com']],
    'your subject',
    'your message body',
    'inreplytomessageId',
    [] // array of attachments of type File
);

Step 5: If wanted, revoke access

$gmail = MartijnWagena\Gmail::create()->setAccessToken($access_token, $refresh_token);
$gmail->revokeAccess();
