Download Gmail attachments with UiPath Studio Example

A common robot developers need to build is one that will download Gmail attachments. In this UiPath example we save attachments from Gmail into a folder within the project. In this example, we have a number of emails we go through, but only three have pdf attachments. When our RPA robot is run, all of the pdf file attachments in Gmail are saved by UiPath. It's a cool little program.

By the way, to run this you must turn off two factor authentication and allow less secure apps permission to hit your Gmail account. This is all done within the security settings of Gmail, not UiPath Studio.
