We’re excited to announce that Nylas API v3 is now generally available! This update is designed with developer productivity in mind, redefining the standards of modern APIs. It elevates product performance, developer experiences, security, and intelligence capabilities in email, calendar, and contacts integrations to new levels of efficiency.
“We’ve spent 10 years building our API platform. This release takes all the hard lessons we’ve learned over those years to build the next greatest version that’s more scalable, performant, reliable, and enables a host of new features.”
-Christine Spang, Co-founder & CTO at Nylas
Nylas API v3 introduces instant email and event functionality to eliminate potential latency at scale. Our new infrastructure no longer relies on retaining data with Nylas for non-IMAP accounts, such as Google and Microsoft, boosting performance and security. Responses now sync directly with the email and calendar service providers themselves, resulting in instantaneous access to user data on your platform and less edge cases to deal with. You’ll see improvements made around performance being at least 2.5x faster and 10x more reliable. Additionally, as Nylas no longer stores email and event data, you’ll have a smaller data footprint, making it even easier to meet GDPR and CCPA compliance.
To continue providing best-in-class user experiences for IMAP accounts, we reinforced and improved integration optimization to speed up every possible shortfalls to bring developers more consistency and ease. We will continue to securely store data for IMAP users, backed by our robust, enterprise-grade security and privacy practices.
“The partnership with [Nylas], along with their comprehensive documentation and the revamped developer dashboard has been critical to streamlining our developer experiences, making it easy for us to navigate. Additionally, working with the new APIs simplifies how we interact with the Nylas integration; it’s quick to build, and response times have been much quicker.”
– Charles Gigante, Product Manager at Revenue.io
Continuously up-leveling developer experiences to help you do more with less is also a top priority. With Nylas API v3, integrations are simplified and paired with intuitive, well-documented APIs allowing engineering teams to deal with less technical hurdles and focus on their core business values. A few improvements worth mentioning:
We’re also excited to release these new email features you can easily add to improve user experiences and engagement in your platform.
Email is not only the cornerstone of business communications; it’s a largely untapped resource for training existing and new intelligent solutions. Obtaining high amounts of quality data to build intelligence can be cumbersome with access and privacy concerns, but Nylas can help you achieve that by unlocking untapped, 1st party communications data.
In summary, the launch of Nylas API v3 marks a significant milestone, setting a new benchmark for building and maintaining email, calendar, and contacts capabilities with minimal effort.
