Pull OTP and 2FA codes from email with Nylas

Short summary

Nylas offers two patterns for extracting OTP/2FA codes from email. For local testing and scripting, use the CLI (`nylas otp get` or `nylas otp watch`) to pull codes on demand. For production systems and agents, implement an event-driven pattern: subscribe to message.created webhooks, fetch the full message body, and extract the code with regex. CLI is pull-based and fast; API patterns are push-based and durable for scaling.

• •CLI provides pull-based access for developers: nylas otp get/watch commands with clipboard integration
• •API pattern uses webhooks to push code extraction into your flow as messages arrive
• •Both methods parse codes via regex; CLI for development velocity, API for production reliability
