It's possible to search one's gmail Inbox for Google's smartlabel, using the search criteria : label:^smartlabel_receipt for instance.
But these labels don't appear when being listed using this API :
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/labels/list
Is there a hidden way to still reference this Internal Gmail label?
You could use the Gmail API's messages.list and append a query parameter. For example, like this:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/<userId>/messages?q=label:^smartlabel_receipt

How do we compose a get url to get an envelope or envelopes that contain a given custom field. I tried to compose a get url as one shown below but not getting the desired results (i tried to follow the documentation here -> https://developers.docusign.com/esign-rest-api/reference/Envelopes/Envelopes/listStatusChanges but I think i am not passing the custom field to the query string correctly
https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2.1/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID_NUMBER/envelopes?from_date=2019-12-05&folder_types=sentitems&status=completed&custom_field=[SignerEmail=john.doe#email.com]
You're using the right API call. Try it without the square brackets and encode the value.
Eg
... &custom_field=SignerEmail%3Djohn.doe%40email.com
The above is untested. If it doesn't work, we'll dig into it further
Important: are you trying to find envelopes that have a custm_envelop_field (metadata) that you created and you named "SignerEmail"?? If so, the the above is the way to go.
If you're looking for envelopes where a signing recipient's email is john#doe.com, try the general search as Inbar suggests. If it doesn't work, you may need another tactic.
Suggest you read here:
https://developers.docusign.com/esign-rest-api/guides/concepts/envelopes/search
the parameter is called search_text and would search everything including custom fields. There's no need to separately specify custom fields.
Something like this:
https://demo.docusign.net/restapi/v2.1/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID_NUMBER/envelopes?search_text=[SignerEmail=john.doe#email.com]
Edit: addressing the first comment below and for clarity, this isn't a code question. The question is simply:
What do I put into the URI querystring of the new Gmail UI to view a draft message created by the Gmail API?
Despite this not really being a code question, I'm asking on Stack Overflow as it's Google's preferred platform for Gmail API questions.
--
If I view a draft message in the new Gmail UI, the URI is something like this:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?zx=iij9apqgzdf4#drafts?compose=jrjtXSqXwlFGnSGCQgDCdnHGVFdlpFMgzsCNgpQstQLxdLCMkjKstBmWZkCmjhWTQnpsZCJF
I can't see any way to create such a link from the Id or ThreadId of a message created via the Gmail API.
Previously, one could do this:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?zx=ov61dxfbrcga#drafts?compose=1631caae9dbb074d
where the value of "compose" is the Id.
How can the same thing be accomplished in the new UI?
I've been encountering the same problem and have had some success in this problem, as well as some issues I still can't get past.
Good news: The new compose parameter format is some kind of "base40" encoding. I searched the Gmail source for a restricted alphabet string, and found and deobfuscated the bit of code doing this encoding/decoding: https://gist.github.com/danrouse/52212f0de2fbfe33cfc56583f20ccb74
This code includes an encode and decode function which should work for Gmail-format query parameters.
Bad news: The values that it is encoding to open draft emails do not appear to be available using the Gmail API. Specifically, they look like this:
thread-f:NEW_THREAD_ID+msg-a:DRAFT_ID -- while the draft ID is the same as it was before, the Thread ID does not appear to match any of the IDs that the Gmail API returns.
Interestingly, if you inspect the subject row in the Gmail UI, it has dataset attributes including all of both the old format and new format IDs - but it's still unclear how to get the new ones programatically.
Thanks to #frank-szilinski - he pointed out that the old format is now translated. I.e. this now works again:
https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/1/#drafts/1661237c4db71ace
It doesn't seem to work when the Gmail tab isn't already open, however.
Building on #kremonte gist, and #chris-wood comments, I made a rails gem that correctly creates the open-the-draft-inside-gmail URL.
It's here - https://github.com/GoodMeasuresLLC/gmail_compose_encoder
It's for the use case of "my code created a draft (prepopulated with some text, of course) and now I want to open the draft in compose mode so that my user can review it before hitting "send".
How to get the URL for a draft
If, for example you use a list request from which you get your draft objects:
{
"id": string,
"message": {
object (Message)
}
}
You can take this id and put it into a URL in this format:
mail.google.com/mail/#inbox?compose=[id]
Eg.
mail.google.com/mail/#inbox?compose=3doinm3d08932d
This will open up GMail with the relevant draft open.
I was struggling because I wanted it to work with multiple accounts. However the authuser parameter did not help.
Inserting the email address instead of the integer after the u/ component solved the problem.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/{email_address}/#drafts?compose={message_id}
The message id is the one provided by the API.
I am developing an android app based on gmail-api in which I need to show how many mails are unread (based on a particular sender/subject) , and also need to show how many mails the user has not replied to (based on a particular sender/subject) . If anybody has done this pls let me know if this is feasible.
You need to use Users.messages: list method since it only return messages that match the specified query. It supports the same query format as the Gmail search box. For example, from:someuser#example.com rfc822msgid: is:unread.
Based also from this related SO ticket, the q parameter (query) can be all kinds of stuff and it is the same as the gmail search bar on the top of the web interface. You can use this search method to find unread messages, for example like
List<Message> unreadMessageIDs = ListMessages(service, "me", "is:unread");.
Hope this helps! :)
Is there a way to manage Gmail lables(Virtual folders) with mutt??
Quoting this source,
A very cool gmail feature is the ability to add label to emails (also called "tags" in other contexts), and then view only mails with a given label.
There is a semi-standard email header called "X-Label" which can be used to store labels. mutt supports searching it, filtering views according to the value, and showing it in the index view; but it doesn't allow you to change it (although there are patches).
There are some useful code snippets in the link above.
So there's this nifty _trackPageview() api method on a tracker object, but is there a corresponding method that can be used to manually track a search? In other words, _trackPageview() reports to GA that a user hit a page. I want something like _trackSearch("terms") that would report to GA that a user searched for something.
Though not exactly what I was looking for, it seems that one can generate virtual page views to track search results programatically.
Suppose that you've set up a Site Search parameter called "q", so that when a URI is tracked that contains q=these+are+some+terms, GA will mark it as a search hit. One can use the _trackPageview() method to generate virtual search hits like so:
pageTracker._trackPageview('/custom/search?q=These+are+some+terms')
I pass search parameters by GET, so the URL for a search on "TEST" is
http://www.example.com/search?q=TEST
Selecting Content -> Site Search from my analytics account gives me a list of all keywords searched.
