The nylas ui command launches a local web-based configuration interface in your browser.

The nylas ui command launches a local web-based configuration interface in your browser. Manage connected accounts, view grants, configure settings, and explore CLI features through a graphical dashboard instead of the command line.

Syntax

nylas ui

How It Works

The Nylas CLI includes several utilities beyond the core email, calendar, and contacts commands. These are designed to complement your workflow without requiring separate tools.

Examples

Launch UI:

nylas ui

Open on a specific port:

nylas ui --port 8080

Common Issues

Browser doesn't open
Copy the URL from terminal output and paste it into your browser. On headless servers, use --no-browser if available.

Port already in use
Another process is using the default port. Try nylas ui --port 8081 or stop the conflicting process.

Tips

Combine with other commands: Chain nylas ui with other Nylas CLI commands using shell pipes and variables for complex workflows.

Debug mode: Add --verbose to see the underlying API requests and responses — useful when something doesn't behave as expected.
