How to Send an Email With the Nylas API in Javascript / Node.js

GitHub's State of the Octoverse 2019 highlights JavaScript as the most-used programming language on the platform, and those interested in leveraging this language for email functionalities can benefit from the Nylas Email API. The API connects to major email providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo, and is complemented by a Node SDK that simplifies sending emails directly from user accounts. To begin, a developer needs to install Node.js and npm or yarn, create a Nylas developer account, and obtain three essential tokens: CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, and ACCESS_TOKEN. After setting up these credentials in a Node.js environment, users can employ the Nylas API Client to draft and send emails by specifying recipients and other attributes. For detailed guidance, Nylas provides a comprehensive tutorial and documentation on more advanced features and quick start guides for those eager to explore further.
