We noticed Google assistant can launch other apps like spotify
Is it possible to have google assistant launch a mail client on a phone
Similar to use mailto: on the web, and be able to pass over the subject and body
Not directly. But you can use IFTTT to send mails or automate other stuff.

facebook recently allow everyone to send marketing messages, and create marketing templates.
but when try to create whatsapp template in Twilio dashboard there is no such option as marketing message(just transaction)
I wonder if its ok for me to create templates directly through Facebook or it will mess thing up and I must use Twilio directly?
there is more missing options like attaching media or header to template
twilio dashboard (no marketing category):
facebook dashboard:
tldr: is it ok to use Facebook api directly when using Twilio to register my Whatsapp number?
I checked on this question with Twilio product support and the answer was:
I don't believe this would be possible, as the number and configuration would be tied directly to Twilio. You could certainly try, but this is not something we can offer guidance on or provide support for if you proceed.
I don't have my own WhatsApp number to try with, so I can't verify or test whether you can use the Facebook APIs directly either.
If you are in the Content API beta and you are finding that it still doesn't provide you the features you need, then I recommend raising that with the beta team, who will work to bring it to the API.
so we previously were able to send Nagios notifications into Twitter. We have since switched to Google Stackdriver, and would like to create an alert notification channel for Twitter. I had a look at both Google Cloud Monitoring API and Twitter API, but I don't think we can do this yet. Has anyone successfully done this?
Unfortunately currently there is no support for Twitter, however it supports this Notifications Channels [1]: Email, Mobile App, PagerDuty, SMS, Slack, Webhooks and Pub/Sub.
There is a Feature Request in their Public Issue Tracker[2] asking for this characteristic on Notifications Channels, and you will be able to follow any progress by Clicking in the “Star” icon, at the top-left of the Feature Request.

Can you please confirm if the Gmail One-Click / Go-To Action schemas should display fully within the native ioS mail client or the Gmail app itself? OR, do these only work fully on desktop?
One click and go-to actions will display on mobile devices, however, they will only display with the Inbox app (iOS/ Android).
I have been asked to create an Email client for Android/ios.
I have been looking at Cordova to create this email client app.
There is a cordova-plugin-email-composer plugin to send mails, but I am wondering how to receive Emails through Imap, and store them.
Can anyone advise on this? Or maybe suggest an alternative for Cordova to create a hybrid mail client app?
SMTP (sending mails) is the easier task in cordova, even with mailto:yourname#mailserver.com?subject=...&body=... in the href-attribute in HTML5 you can send an e-mail on mobile devices cross plattform.What you need is a library for IMAP and/or POP3 access in cordova.
I look for the same plugin in Cordova, to write an OpenSource-App as Messenger replacement for WhatsApp using existing Mailserver. This has many advantages:
This OpenSource-App could use existing Infrastructure for sending and receiving messages and attachments as mails. No need to set up new server infrastructure
Messengers like WhatApp are popular and users like that quick communication style.
There is no need to provide my communication to DCC (Data Collecting Company) like Facebook for WhatsApp. Everyone could use the mail server she/or he prefers.
You can receive messages and send messages on a desktop computer with a regular mail client, cross-plattform and cross devices
Basic concept used from AT6FUI
I have a mobile web app/site and I would like the users to upload a word document to our site.
As safari on the iPhone is not able to upload files what are the alternatives?
I have seen http://code.google.com/p/iphone-photo-picker/ however this is not photograph.
Is it documented anywhere that the Dropbox API, iCloud API or another API would allow selection a file from a user to copy to our servers?
Alternately is there another way for our iPhone users using safari?
No, iPhone does not offer input type file on it's browser (except for images or videos).
What i do is, have users to send file(s) via email to site and download it programmatically on the server side and assign it to user's account either according to email address or some sort of password in the email.
Investigation has shown that the drop box API for the user so select a via on the webpage using OAuth could be an option in the future.
However the dropbox api documentation at the time of writing says:
Web applications using the Dropbox API are currently not officially
supported.
iCloud API is in beta and only available to members of the iOS and Mac Developer Programs so I am unable to review it's possibilities.
Update: I have now found this site: http://filepicker.io that handles uploads from facebook and dropbox.
