Hi all,
In v2 a number of email components were supported ( GitHub - nylas/components: UI building blocks to add email, calendar, and contacts to your app in minutes. ). The current v3 no longer supports these. How do you guys integrate the email api? I am guessing no one wants to rebuild an email client and there are open source alternatives available. Any pointers?
Your help & guidance is much appreciated!
Best, Ben
Hi Ben,
Thanks for reaching out! You’re absolutely right — the email components from v2 aren’t available in v3. The new version now takes an API-first approach, giving you much more flexibility and control over how you build your email experience.
Getting Started with the Nylas Email API v3
This guide walks you through creating your app, connecting email accounts (Gmail, Outlook, etc.), and making your first API calls.
The good news is that you don’t need to rebuild a full email client from scratch. The Nylas API takes care of the heavy lifting — syncing, sending, threading, and attachments — The Nylas Dashboard includes sample implementations for common email workflows, which you can access under Applications → Quickstart Guides.
Nylas also offers SDKs for Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Java/Kotlin, so you can choose whatever best fits your stack.
Suggested next steps:
Follow the Quickstart guide to set up authentication.
Use the sample React code as your base.
Customize the UI to match your app’s look and feel.
Let me know if you’d like help with any specific part of the setup — I’ll be happy to walk you through it.
Best regards,
Pracheta
