Build a durable email sync with Nylas backfill and webhooks
This tutorial shows how to sync a mailbox into your own database using Nylas Email API. It splits the process into a one-time backfill of existing messages via cursor pagination and a continuous tail using webhooks for real-time updates. The approach ensures your copy stays current without repeated full pulls.
