This got me thinking about how I could implement it myself, so I brainstormed and came up with a small system, which I'll share below.</p> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdnqxmzu1oveuu1vt97ol.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdnqxmzu1oveuu1vt97ol.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="502"></a></p> <p>Nylas offers an amazing set of APIs for working with Contacts, Email, and Calendar. However, in this post, I'll focus solely on how to work with Contacts. Here's how it's done.</p> <ul> <li>Enable Nylas Hosted Authentication</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdshkrycu3l22popd60s8.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdshkrycu3l22popd60s8.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="344"></a></p> <p>Nylas hosted authentication is the quickest and easiest way to set up user authentication for your app. With hosted authentication, you redirect users to a Nylas login page and Nylas handles the rest, including detecting third party providers including SSO identity providers, and managing token exchanges.
