I am interested in finding out how I can send my business customers appointment confirmation emails to their Gmail accounts and have their Google calander automatically populate the info and give them a reminder without any action required on their part. I know it's possible as I received such emails from companies that have done this. Can anyone please help? I'm not the most computer savvy person so I will need an explanation. thank you.
#carl grassl You will want to use EventReservation for appointment confirmations.
When you send your customer an email confirmation with EventReservation, this will automatically populate the info of the appointment in their Calendar, additionally, it will also trigger a Google Now card of the appointment.
Check out this tool below, logging in with your personal Gmail account:
http://gmail-actions.appspot.com
Once you've logged in, load the sample "Event card." You can send yourself an EventReservation email.
When you feel that you got everything locked in with your production email client, you'll have to register with Google to use schemas. Make sure your email is authenticated (DKIM/SPF). You can get all the details here:

I hope you are well.
I need to generate unique email for users and allow them to send email to create a new post in their profile.
Example flow
User signs up
User gets username-withsomeuniqueaddition#myproduct.com
User send email to the address above
The product creates a record with the info from email body
Similar to how users can save links to their Instapaper account using email.
I spent hours googling but it all return how to send emails with RoR.
Is there any direction, tutorial or gem you can guide me?
Thank you, stay safe.
When I go through the Sign in with apple I am getting first time exact email address and basic details of the user which I want but second time in response there is no email field in response.
My concern is that I want email address of the user so in future I can send notification email to that particular user. but apple gives random created email, in reality that doesn't exists. How to contact to user in future by email?
You might have to register the outbound email with apple, check this for more information on using the private email provided also look at the sign in with apple docs here.
As far as I know the random created email apple gives is actually connected to user's actual mail id. All the mail you send will be forwarded to it. But they can unlink their mail in future. This gives users some privacy and protection from spamming.
When I was finding solution I got to know, we have to pass an email address for following:
The email addresses you register will be able to send and receive messages to and from customers using Apple’s private email relay service.
Once I added this I am able to send and receive the emails.

At our company, we are working with several aliases. The current situation is that one team of 10 has two aliases. In SalesForce, they would like to put the link to specific emails so that anybody out of the team can open an e-mail related to a claim for instance.
In the e-mail's link, there's the "/u/0" part that identifies the mail gmail account (firstname.lastname#...), but it seems that the aliases have a different number for everybody.
So to be clear when they open the same mail in the shared alias, the e-mail ID stays the same in the URL (logic) but the digit after the "/u/" changes for everybody.
Is there a way to generate a URL that will open the e-mail independently of the person that clicks on the URL ?
Edit:
I'll try to be clearer. Our Customer Service Center employees all have two e-mail adresses: an individual one, and a delegated one. Customers will send e-mails to the delegated one (accessible by all employees). So what we would like to do is copy the link of the e-mail into SalesForce so that any employee (who has access to the delegated gmail) can check the e-mail. But, as explained above, as the individual gmail adress is always identified by a "0" after the "/u/" chain in the URL:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/156b821f776b6d4a
the delegated gmail adress is identified by a number that differs depending on the person. So employee A will have "/u/144/" as link to the delegated gmail, another employee will have "u/345/ as link to the delegated gmail. This makes it impossible to access the e-mail by clicking the link...
Hope this little case-study makes the issue clearer.
Thanks in advance

I'm trying to do this too.
I think the only way (outside of paying for the Google business email system) is to have a database of user IDs that link to each user's gmail delegate URL.
I have a system that allows about 6 or 7 users to login, however they all share the login details (it's a small website, with no important information stored). I will have to force them all to have separate login details, and then have a lookup for their gmail delegate URL.
If you have a lot of staff, then you'd have to get their buy-in. Maybe send a global email around that links to a simple web form, that takes them through how to enter their delegate URL. Then store this in a database, with their own personal email (the other gmail account). You should make the form validation strict, so no garbage gets entered. For users who get stuck (fail validation for entering a valid gmail delegate URL), ask them to email support. 95% of staff should be able to handle this. The other 5% would just be an exercise in patience, in getting the rest of the data.
I have an Rails web-application where a user can send message to any other registered user. Once a user sends a message to another user, another user gets a notification on application and also by email in his/her personal email inbox (Like basecamp).
I want to implement this functionality where if a user reply to a message from his/her personal email inbox(say gmail/yahoo), the message becomes available in the application and receiver gets a notification as usual.
As I could understand, we’ll need to associate a unique id and set it as reply-to field in notification mail. Any help in the right way to approach this problem will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
We are already using sendgrid. And sendgrid provides web-hook for emails. Which is quite easy to integrate with a rails application. It also uses mails gem. I'll keep posted if I find anything new on this.
I'm still working on finding out how to associate unique id in reply-to field in email. Any help on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Is it possible to check the timezone of email recipients? An API or code of some sort? I'm building a mass smtp mailer using Delphi and I want to be able to send only during the office hour timezone of the email recipient. For development test, I'll be using Gmail SMTP.
Note: I don't have geographic information of the email recipient - I only got the email address to work with.
EDIT 1:
By the way, I'm sending to corporate users so they'll probably be using Exchange, Lotus, etc in their own company domain names.
The emails are for official matters such as invoices and orders for offline customers and suppliers.
No there isn't. If you think about it, it makes sense. An e-mail recipient could be potentially anywhere in the world at any time. The only way you could conceivably do it, would be to maintain a list of contacts in a database and store their location. You could then work it out from there.
