Manual Steps

2. i want to iterate through each email
3. and then download each attachment (which is pdf)
4. and then do something to the pdf

how to do this inside windmill


given that i have the gmail resource installed (see attached), how do i use the resource in my script?

I have read this https://www.windmill.dev/docs/core_concepts/resources_and_types#fetching-them-from-within-a-script-by-using-the-wmill-client-in-the-respective-language but i am still unsure how to use this.

DO I use a script, flow, or app?

all i know is i do

gmail_resource = wmill.get_resource("u/kimsia/picturesque_gmail")

then i am lost what to do next
