How to get gmail message content

[Joao]

Hi,
I can connect my gmail inbox and run the “Get Many” action, I can see multiple variables coming in (id, snippet, payload etc) but I can’t see the content of my e-mail.
Which node would you recomend to get the content of an e-mail received into a gmail inbox?
Thanks

Hi, it’s $json.subject for subject and $json.textAsHtml for body

“snippet”: “hello this is the text stnippet”,
“payload”: {
“mimeType”: “multipart/alternative”
},

Try this and get the message from $json.text

@Joao ,

The difference may be that you are using the default configuration to get a Simplified message from the email when in your case you need to full message to gather what you want.

@KHarv example would do the trick as it has the default option of Simplify set as DISABLE.

The default is ENABLED:

@KHarv

$json.text

Thank you it’s all working now.
The issue was, like you highlighted, coming from the Simplify Enabled
