Gmail API, Reply to thread not working / forwarding - ios

I'm using the google gmail api in swift. All is working well, it's compiling etc.
I'm now trying forward an email, the only way I see this possible so far is by using a thread id.
So I'm using the API tester found here to send tests. Will will focus on this. It can be found here1
So I've input this, the "raw" is Base64 URL encoded string.
{
"raw": "VG86ICBlbWFpbFRvU2VuZFRvQGdtYWlsLmNvbSAKU3ViamVjdDogIFRoZSBzdWJqZWN0IHRlc3QKSW4tUmVwbHktVG86ICBteUVtYWlsQGdtYWlsLmNvbQpUaHJlYWRJZDogIDE1YjkwYWU2MzczNDQ0MTIKClNvbWUgQ29vbCB0aGluZyBpIHdhbnQgdG8gcmVwbHkgdG8geW91ciBjb252by4u",
"threadId": "15b90ae637344412"
}
The "raw" in plain text is
To: emailToSendTo#gmail.com
Subject: The subject test
In-Reply-To: myEmail#gmail.com
ThreadId: 15b90ae637344412
Some Cool thing i want to reply to your convo..
when I execute it I get this back
{
"id": "15b944f6540396df",
"threadId": "15b90ae637344412",
"labelIds": [
"SENT"
]
}
But when I check both email account, from and to. None of them say the previous messages but are in the same "thread" or convo.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated I've spent all day on this issue and half of yesterday and did TONS of research on it.
as stated here I should I'm adding the threaded and In-Reply-To in the right way I believe
The ID of the thread the message belongs to. To add a message or draft to a thread, the following criteria must be met:
The requested threadId must be specified on the Message or Draft.Message you supply with your request.
The References and In-Reply-To headers must be set in compliance with the RFC 2822 standard.
The Subject headers must match.

The Microsoft Graph API returned a different threadID for the same mail

In our application we make calls to the Microsoft Graph API to fetch the email header data.
During the initial call to the api we received the following conversationId details for an email
{"conversationId":"AAQkADVhMzU1YWY5LWVkNGQtNGZjOC1hMjJmLTk0MzIxMGQzMzRhMQAQAA8kZ_w6rdxIsHkFk+h7byQ="}
And a few seconds later when we made a similar request for the same email, we received a different conversationId
{"conversationId":"AAQkADVhMzU1YWY5LWVkNGQtNGZjOC1hMjJmLTk0MzIxMGQzMzRhMQAQAA8kZ_w6rdxIsHkFk_h7byQ="}
Now the expectation here is that the value of the conversationId should always remain the same.
In the above scenario the only difference in the 2 conversationId returned is the '+' being replaced with the '_'
AAQkADVhMzU1YWY5LWVkNGQtNGZjOC1hMjJmLTk0MzIxMGQzMzRhMQAQAA8kZ_w6rdxIsHkFk+h7byQ=
AAQkADVhMzU1YWY5LWVkNGQtNGZjOC1hMjJmLTk0MzIxMGQzMzRhMQAQAA8kZ_w6rdxIsHkFk_h7byQ=
Detailed Steps:-
The owa mail dom is parsed to fetch the conversationId
AAQkADVhMzU1YWY5LWVkNGQtNGZjOC1hMjJmLTk0MzIxMGQzMzRhMQAQAA8kZ_w6rdxIsHkFk+h7byQ=
Using this conversationId we make a call to the MS Graph API and get the details including the messageId which we store in our DB as a primary key
A few minutes later, we make another MS Graph API call, this time using the messageId, and in response we get a different conversationId
AAQkADVhMzU1YWY5LWVkNGQtNGZjOC1hMjJmLTk0MzIxMGQzMzRhMQAQAA8kZ_w6rdxIsHkFk_h7byQ=
Question:-
Is it possible by any chance that + and _ are interchangable
You shouldn't assume Exchange identifiers are interchangeable across platforms. Over the years, Exchange has used a crazy number of different formats for identifiers. This is likely the crux of the issue here.
There are some mechanisms for converting between them but I generally advise against it unless you've got no other option.
I'm not sure why/how you're parsing the OWS DOM but I'm frankly more surprised the identifiers are that close than I am that it doesn't work as expected. If you want to pull the message from Graph from within OWA, I would use an Outlook Web Add-in for this. The add-in framework includes a convertToRestId method that returns an identifier you can use with Microsoft Graph:
function getItemRestId() {
if (Office.context.mailbox.diagnostics.hostName === 'OutlookIOS') {
// itemId is already REST-formatted
return Office.context.mailbox.item.itemId;
} else {
// Convert to an item ID for API v2.0
return Office.context.mailbox.convertToRestId(
Office.context.mailbox.item.itemId,
Office.MailboxEnums.RestVersion.v2_0
);
}
}
As for the + vs _, this comes down to the encoding format. There are multiple flavors of Base64. Standard In standard Base64, the 62nd character is + and the 63rd is /. This presents a problem when you want to use Base64 in a URL as + and / are reserved characters. To get around this, you need a URL safe variant of Base64. There are several such variants out there. The most common is base64url (defined in RFC 4648) which swaps out the - for the 62nd and _ for the 63rd.

setting 'replace_original' to false while responding to Slack message action request doesn't work

Background:
I am using the python slack API (slackclient) to build an iterative sequence of data-gathering actions in ephemeral messages.
The core of this works fine. After processing the incoming request that contains the user's interaction with a set of message buttons (or menus), I respond immediately with a JSON body, as described in the "Responding right away" section of the official slack docs.
The problem:
Every response replaces the preceding message+attachments. In many cases, this is what I want, but there are situations where I want to add a response rather than replace the previous message.
Per the slack docs,setting replace_original to false should do just that. But the following code, snipped from my handling of a simple button click (for example), replaces the original button (and the text message to which it was attached):
r = {
'response_type': 'ephemeral',
'text': 'foo',
'replace_original': 'false'
}
log.debug("Returning: {}".format(json.dumps(r)))
resp = Response(response=json.dumps(r),
mimetype="application/json",
status=200)
return resp
I have tried this with and without the delete_original and response_type fields, with no change.
In short, it appears that in this case the replace_original field isn't doing anything at all; behavior is always as if it were set to 'true'.
I feel like I must be missing something here - any help is greatly appreciated.
Simple solution here: the slack API is expecting a boolean, not a string. So 'replace_original': 'false' in the above snippet ends up as {"response_type": "ephemeral", "text": "foo", "replace_original": "false"} after the json.dumps() call, which is invalid.
Instead, setting 'replace_original': False becomes {"response_type": "ephemeral", "text": "foo", "replace_original": false}, which then has the expected behavior

How to use the Gmail API to read the subjects of emails sent from a yahoo group

I'm using the Gmail API with Oauth 2 to read all of my emails and print out the subject and the date, like so:
for m in email_list:
msg = service.users().messages().get(userId="me", id=m["id"], format="full").execute()
header_list = msg["payload"]["headers"]
for i in header_list:
nameindict=i["name"]
if nameindict=="Subject":
print(i["value"])
if nameindict=="Date":
print(i["value"])
this section is pasted into the main() function of the gmail API example, found here:
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python
However, there's two problems:
-Sometimes, it misses the subject. I checked the full output and found that some outputs didn't have a subject attached, but couldn't find out why.
-This doesn't seem to work with email sent from a Yahoo group. The "full" option returns a jumble of letters and numbers, but no subject or readable date and time sent. Does anyone know if this is possible, and how I can do it?

How to set Vendor Tax ID and 1099 Eligibility in API?

I'm currently using Consolibyte's PHP QB classes to interface with the QB api.
I've been successfully creating and updating Vendor's in QB for a while. However, we have a new requirement to use the API to store vendor's tax information.
I've tried to lookup the correct syntax to set these, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
My most recent attempt was:
$Vendor->setVendorTaxIdent($provider->taxId);
$Vendor->setIsVendorEligibleFor1099(true);
The rest of the information set gets updated properly, and the return from
$result = $VendorService->update($this->context, $this->realm, $provider->vendorId, $Vendor);
seems to indicate success.
Please let me know if you need anymore context. Thanks!
Have you referred to the documentation?
https://developer.intuit.com/docs/api/accounting/Vendor
The documentation indicates:
TaxIdentifier: String, max 20 characters
Vendor1099: Boolean
The geters and seters exactly mirror the documented fields. So unsurprisingly, you'll have these methods:
$Vendor->setTaxIdentifier($string);
$string = $Vendor->getTaxIdentifier();
And:
$Vendor->setVendor1099($boolean);
$boolean = $Vendor->getVendor1099();
If you continue to have trouble, make sure you post the XML request you're sending to QuickBooks. You can get this by doing:
print($VendorService->lastRequest());
print($VendorService->lastResponse());

How to Add Tag via Asana API

I am trying to do a simple Salesforce-Asana integration. I have many functions working, but I am having trouble with adding a tag to a workspace. Since I can't find documentation on the addTag method, I'm sort of guessing at what is required.
If I post the following JSON to https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces/WORKSPACEID/tasks:
{"data":{"name":"MyTagName","notes":"Test Notes"}}
The tag gets created in Asana, but with blank notes and name fields. If I try to get a bit more fancy and post:
{"data":{"name":"MyTagName","notes":"Test Notes","followers":[{"id":"MY_USER_ID"}]}}
I receive:
{"errors":[{"message":"Invalid field: {\"data\":{\"name\":\"MyTagName\",\"notes\":\"Test Notes\",\"followers\":[{\"id\":\"MY_USER_ID\"}]}}"}]}
I'm thinking the backslashes may mean that my request is being modified by the post, though debug output shows a properly formatted json string before the post.
Sample Code:
JSONGenerator jsongen = JSON.createGenerator(false);
jsongen.writeStartObject();
jsongen.writeFieldName('data');
jsongen.writeStartObject();
jsongen.writeStringField('name', 'MyTagName');
jsongen.writeStringField('notes', 'Test Notes');
jsongen.writeFieldName('followers');
jsongen.writeStartArray();
jsongen.writeStartObject();
jsongen.writeStringField('id', 'MY_USER_ID');
jsongen.writeEndObject();
jsongen.writeEndArray();
jsongen.writeEndObject();
jsongen.writeEndObject();
String requestbody = jsongen.getAsString();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint('https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces/WORKSPACEID/tags');
req.setMethod('POST');
//===Auth header created here - working fine===
req.setBody(requestbody);
Http http = new Http();
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
return res.getBody();
Any help appreciated. I am inexperienced using JSON as well as the Asana API.
The problem was that I was posting to the wrong endpoint. Instead of workspaces/workspaceid/tags, I should have been using /tags and including workspaceid in the body of the request.
Aha, so you can add tags and even set followers despite the API not mentioning that you can or claiming that followers are read-only.
So to sum up for anyone else interested: POSTing to the endpoint https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tags you can create a tag like this:
{ "data" : { "workspace": 1234567, "name" : "newtagname", "followers": [45678, 6789] } }
where 1234567 is your workspace ID and 45678 and 6789 are your new followers.
Since you posted this question, Asana's API and developer has introduced Tags. You documentation lays out the answer to your question pretty clearly:
https://asana.com/developers/api-reference/tags
I'm a bit confused by your question. Your ask "how to add a tag" but the first half of your question talks about adding a task. The problem with what you describe there is that you are trying to set a task's followers but the followers field is currently read-only according to Asana's API documentation. That is why you are getting an error. You can not set followers with the API right now.
The second part of your question - with the sample code - does look like you are trying to add a tag. However, right now the Asana API does not support this (at least according to the API documentation). You can update an existing tag but you can't add one.
So, to sum up: at this time the API does not allow you to add followers to a task or to create new tags.
