Gmail History Collection in Tornado
When selecting 'Gmail History' as the data type for a collection in Tornado, you’ll be required to enter History IDs. These are unique markers provided by Gmail that indicate the starting point for collecting changes in a mailbox.
What Are History IDs?
History IDs are part of Gmail’s change tracking system, used to fetch updates like email additions, deletions, or modifications.
They specify the point in the mailbox history from which the collection will start.
What If I Don’t Know the History ID?
If you’re unsure of the History ID, Tornado won’t be able to proceed with the Gmail History collection. This is because Gmail requires a valid History ID to determine where to start collecting data.
For most users, History IDs are not something you’ll commonly know or have readily available.
How to Find a History ID:
From Previous Collections: Tornado logs the last History ID from completed Gmail collections. You can find this in the case details or logs.
Using the Gmail API: Advanced users can query the Gmail API (e.g.,
users.history.list) to fetch the latest History ID.
Best Practices:
For initial collections or if you don’t need incremental updates, consider selecting other Gmail data types, such as 'Mail Data', which does not require a History ID.
