Start using the Nylas Sandbox
Welcome to Nylas! This guide introduces you to the Nylas Sandbox, where you can try out the Nylas APIs without any configuration steps.
Before you begin
If you're a first-time user, sign up for a Nylas account first! You use the same v3 Dashboard for both US and EU data centers.
Introducing the Nylas Sandbox
Nylas automatically creates a Sandbox application for you when you first log in to the v3 Dashboard.
When you first see your new Sandbox, Nylas provides the client ID for the Sandbox application. You can use this in the code samples in this documentation as the value for NYLAS_CLIENT_ID.
🔍 The Sandbox application comes with pre-configured, read-only authentication connectors for Google, Microsoft, and IMAP providers, so you can try the Nylas APIs without doing much set up. You can connect up to five accounts to the Sandbox application.
Mini tour - Connectors
You might notice that the Sandbox Overview provides a short guide to setting up a Nylas application, and it says that you already set up connectors to third party providers. These are the your Nylas Sandbox connectors, and you can click Connectors to go see them.
Sandbox connectors are read-only, and come pre-configured for Google, Microsoft Graph, iCloud, and IMAP providers. You can click Edit on the Google and Microsoft Graph connectors to update the scopes that Nylas requests when connecting to that provider.
