1

Create an integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Gmail.
Nango has credentials you can use for testing. Activate them in the dashboard.
2

Authorize Gmail

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Gmail. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.
3

Call the Gmail API

Let’s make your first request to the Gmail API to fetch your profile information. This request will return basic details about the authenticated user, such as their email address and message/thread counts. Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:
curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/gmail/v1/users/me/profile" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
Or fetch credentials dynamically via the Node SDK or API.
✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
Next step: Embed the auth flow in your app to let your users connect their GMail accounts.
