Answer 1

I had the same issue when I was trying to do this for the first time as well. The solution that I found was to not include the message information as part of the parameters, but rather pass that on in the :body_object as shown below.

@result = client.execute(
  :api_method => gmail.users.drafts.create,
  :parameters => {
    'userId' => "me"      
  },
  :body_object => {
    'message' => {
      'raw' =>  Base64.urlsafe_encode64('Test Email Message')
    }
  }
)
