About Nylas
What Does Nylas Do?
Nylas provides a unified API that connects your application with Gmail, Microsoft, IMAP, Zoom, and over 250 mail, calendar, and meeting providers. In just five minutes, developers can add email sending/syncing, calendar management, and meeting intelligence without building and maintaining complex integrations from scratch.
Who Is It For?
Nylas is built for developers and product teams at SaaS companies, AI agent builders, and any organization that needs to embed reliable email, calendar, or meeting functionality into their platform. It is not designed for end-users looking for a standalone email client — it is an API for developers.
Real Use Cases
Common applications include equipping AI agents with their own email inbox and calendar (Agent Accounts), automating meeting note-taking and summaries (Nylas Notetaker), creating custom scheduling workflows (Nylas Scheduler), and syncing enterprise communications across multiple providers. Nylas handles deliverability, bounce detection, and spam filtering so you can focus on your product.
