My company is looking to have Google Now Bill Reminders from emails to our clients so they are reminded when to pay.
We aren't looking to integrate a separate app or anything, we just want it directly through Google Now/Gmail.
My question is, is there any definitive structure our emails need to be in, or any information we must include for the Google Now reminders to work? Or does the Now card need to be integrated completely in order to work?
Any links etc to documentation regarding the bill reminder feature so we can look into this? Or if it does need to be integrated, are there any links to API integration so we can forward this to a developer?
Thanks in advance
Based from this Google Now documentation:
Google Now brings users the right information at just the right time. For example, Google Now already provides updates to restaurant and hotel reservations or flight information received in Gmail. By marking up email notifications to your users, you can use Google Now to bring them similar updates about your services and products.
Be mindful that only some types are supported in Google Now. For example, use Event Reservation type to declare a reservation for one or more guests at an event.
For your case, you can check on this blog and this forum. Basically, Google Now is most useful for its ability to contextualize information from your Calendar and Gmail to send you alerts when you actually need them. Google Now introduced a new feature that makes it easier to keep track of which phone/Internet/education loan bills are actually due. Source.

I am trying to find a way to read calendar events of my team and can schedule something based on everyone's availability.
I was able to fetch my calendar events successfully. But I am curious if we can get details of calendar events of my colleagues within my team or organization.
Is there a way we can achieve this?
If yes, it would be helpful if anyone can share some insights on this.
Thank you in advance.
If you grant the app permissions to read calendars from all users, then you can achieve what you want.
Then, you can get the list of users IDs from /users.
Using the IDs, you can retrieve the user calendars. If you only desire the available times in a scheduling assistant way, then you can use the Find Meeting Times API also.
Normally, I invite new members via. email, that I get from them individually.
Let's say I want to campaign publicly for volunteers to join our community, then what is the best approaches with various level of control?
It is not possible out-of-the-box, but you can develop a custom website, where people can apply for your Slack and enter the name and email address.
You can then forward their request for you to approve (e.g. a page with a table of all open requests where each can be approved or denied or an automatically generated email to you etc).
Finally you can auto-invite every approved user with his email address. The Slack API has an undocumented API function that allows that. Check here for my post about that method.
I have done a similar website for inviting people from a gaming community (Eve Online), where they have to first authenticate themselves with their game login before getting an invite to our Slack. It works pretty well. I made this website with PHP, but basically every server based script language will work.
One of my clients have a situation to pay their website user directly from platform account to user. I can do it by using their transfer payment API.
But, my client want to pay to user's email so that user can have option to perform rest of the action.
I went through their API documentation but don't see anything related to do that. Does anyone have similar experience or know anything related to do that?
Stripe's API doesn't have anything like that, but it is something you may be able to build into your application.
I think you might want to contact Stripe Support and fill them in on your use case and see if they can offer you some specific suggestions.
I'd like to be able to have admin users sign up in our system and have their Google calendar events be readable by everyone on the site. I'd like the customers to be able to see free slots on their schedule. Is this possible and how would I implement this in a Rails app?
Any suggestions? (I've read the OAuth and Calendar APIs, just looking for how to start setting up my app).
I need your suggestion regarding which Paypal API to use for my following requirement:
I am developing a application for Order management & Shipping in which I need to fetch order details like Billing & Shipping Address information + Item/product details + Billing amount etc on behalf of various merchants.
I will be fetching the data in two ways:
1. Initial onetime fetch to get all orders till date.
2. Regular fetch to get new orders.
Can you please suggest which API calls will get me the required data?
So, I have found a solution for this through Paypal forum & API docs. Wanted to add the solution here so that it is helpful to other stackoverflow folks.
To lookup what transactions took place I can use the TransactionSearch API, say with the date range.
To get details of a particular transaction I can use GetTransactionDetails API.
Since I have to do it on behalf of various merchants, I can use the Paypal Permissions API to allow merchants to authenticate me for making API calls on there behalf.
