    Hi,

    I was searching for the Send E-Mail action in the Gmail API in AutoWeb but didn't find it. Is there a reason why it is missing?

    Thanks and regards

    Yes, it's because it uses a kind of text (for the email body) that AutoWeb doesn't support. Sorry!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Do you mean that the API expects the email body in web-safe base64 raw format?
    Tasker can encode a given string to Base64 using the Variable Convert action, so if I just used this action and passed the converted text as a variable to the AutoWeb API call, would that work?
    I would try this myself, but I have not been able to manually add the Send Email action to AutoWeb (I am a partial noob and learn as I go). Could you please point me in the right direction, of course only if the solution mentioned above would work?

    Thank you

    The message needs to be in an RFC 2822 formatted and base64url encoded string.

    Check here for details.
