[Solved] How to have a script to search for emails inside Gmail using the resource?

Let me describe what i want to do manually and tell me roughly how to do this inside windmill.dev

Manual Steps


  1. search inside gmail
    [DigitalOcean] Your 2024-07 invoice is available 
    and it will generate a list of emails (see attached image)
  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
