Working with Drafts | Gmail

Drafts represent unsent messages with the DRAFT system label applied. The message contained within the draft cannot be edited once created, but it can be replaced. In this sense, the draft resource is simply a container that provides a stable ID because the underlying message IDs change every time the message is replaced.

Message resources inside a draft have similar behavior to other messages except for the following differences:

• Draft messages cannot have any label other than the DRAFT system label.
• When the draft is sent, the draft is automatically deleted and a new message with an updated ID is created with the SENT system label. This message is returned in the drafts.send response.

Your application can create drafts using the drafts.create method. The general process is to:

1. Create a MIME message that complies with RFC 2822.
2. Convert the message to a base64url encoded string.
3. Create a draft, setting the value of the drafts.message.raw field to the encoded string.

The following code examples demonstrate the process.

Similarly to creating a draft, to update a draft you must supply a Draft resource in the body of your request with the draft.message.raw field set to a base64url encoded string containing the MIME message. Because messages cannot be updated, the message contained in the draft is destroyed and replaced by the new MIME message supplied in the update request.

You can retrieve the current MIME message contained in the draft by calling drafts.get with the parameter format=raw.

For more information, see drafts.update.

When sending a draft, you can choose to send the message as-is or as with an updated message. If you are updating the draft content with a new message, supply a Draft resource in the body of the drafts.send request; set the draft.id of the draft to be sent; and set the draft.message.raw field to the new MIME message encoded as a base64url encoded string. For more information, see drafts.send.
