FAQ

Questions about Gmail + AWS Lambda.

How long does it take to connect Gmail and AWS Lambda on Tiny Command?
Under two minutes. Authorize Gmail and AWS Lambda once each, drop the Gmail trigger and AWS Lambda action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.
Is the Gmail ↔ AWS Lambda integration real-time?
Yes. Both Gmail and AWS Lambda expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.
Can I filter or transform data between Gmail and AWS Lambda?
Yes. Add a Filter node to only pass through matching events, a Switch node to branch by value, or an AI / Code node to transform payloads before they hit AWS Lambda.
What Gmail events can trigger a AWS Lambda workflow?
Any of the 1 Gmail triggers, including "New Email". Each fires in real time when the matching event happens in Gmail.
Do I need a paid plan to use Gmail with AWS Lambda?
No. There's a free tier that covers most Gmail+AWS Lambda use cases without a credit card. Paid plans unlock higher run volumes and team features when you outgrow it.
What if I want AWS Lambda → Gmail instead?
Build it the same way, in reverse. There's a dedicated /integrations/aws-lambda/with/google-gmail page with the reverse-direction triggers and actions.
