# gmail plugin

Reads a Gmail label, extracts clean job URLs from authentic (DMARC-passing)
emails, and returns them as leads. The engine writes them to the pipeline.

## Command

- `node plugins.mjs run gmail` — ingest new leads from the configured label.

## Setup

Put `GMAIL_CLIENT_ID` + `GMAIL_CLIENT_SECRET` + `GMAIL_REFRESH_TOKEN` in `.env`
(an OAuth Desktop client + a refresh token from the consent flow). Configure the
label + lookback in `config/plugins.yml`:

```yaml
plugins:
  gmail: { enabled: true, label: "Job Leads", days_back: 7 }
```

## Data it produces

`Job[]` ({ title, url, company, location }) — the engine de-dups against the
pipeline and appends new ones. It maintains its own processed-message cursor in
`data/gmail-state.json` to avoid re-reading the same emails.
