How to retrieve answered messages using Gmail IMAP? - imap

As per docs, Gmail does not support the Answered flag on its IMAP implementation. Is there any workaround to determine if a message has been replied or not?

Two things jump to mind:
You could look at the In-Reply-To header of new messages to see if they are in reply to your message of interest.
You could look at the X-GM-THRID of new messages to see if Google has threaded them together with your message of interest.

Twilio: Is there a way to export all opt outs?

I want to export everyone who has reply stop (opt out) for my messages. I see that my options are
API. However, through the API I can see that I get everything in pages of 50 messages, so I have to go and do a lot of code to go page by page, message by message just to check if the content is stop. Seems a bit unnecessary for a 1 time job.
From the console in my account, however when each time i try to filter on status received I get the following error, and when I dont filter I get error:
Your export request has more than 10,000 records, please filter your results and try again.
Surely there must be an easy way that I can get all the list of numbers that had opt out?
This answer above is not strictly true as of October 2020. Twilio now has an "insights" dashboard that allows you to view and download "Opt outs Received". When you click on that dashboard you are able to see and download the information.
It is under: Programmable Messaging -> Monitor -> Insights
Our account has "Opt-Out Management" enabled and this addition has been a game changer in finding out what users have or have not done in our system.
There isn't a way to export all opt-outs for LC's/TF's that Twilio maintains on your behalf but opt-outs are forwarded to your application for logging as well as added to the Twilio maintained opt-out list. Your application can keep track of the opt-outs this way. You can find more details in the Help Center article below.
Twilio support for opt-out keywords (SMS STOP filtering)
"When Twilio receives one of these replies, we will create a "blacklist" entry on our side, and then pass the message on to your webhook. Once we have a blacklist entry for a particular recipient phone number, any future attempts to message them will be met with a 400 response from our API, along with Error Code 21610 - Message cannot be sent to the 'To' number because the customer has replied with STOP. Recipients can disable this message stop, and resume receiving messages with the START, YES, or UNSTOP commands as outlined below."
Also, if you use the Twilio helper library for the respective language, it handles the paging for you, for example, for Node.js, reference.
Usage and Migration Guide for Twilio's Node.js Helper Library 3.x
"One of the biggest advantages of twilio-node 3.x is that it automatically handles paging for you! In both list and each, you can specify the maximum number of instances to grab (limit), and the page size (pageSize). The library will take care of everything else."

Add warning message to mails using MS Graph API

How can I update mail to show a "warning" message that exists on a users' mailbox as like what you see when mail is moved to the "junk mail" folder using the Graph API? See attached screenshot. Obviously, I want this message to be customised with my own text. It's not possible to update messages if they aren't draft (isDraft=false).
I dont think that Transport rules are good for us because I want to add that label after the message has arrived into the users' mailbox.
I know that its possible to add Custom Attributes to a message resource - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/opentypeextension?view=graph-rest-1.0
Can I utilize it? any way that you can recommend to do such a thing?
Do I need to develop any addon for that?
After speaking to the PM , there is no supported scenario to do this. If you require this feature you can make a request on https://microsoftgraph.uservoice.com/

Firebase Cloud Messaging - Check existing or available Topics

I've read on Google Firebase Docs:
Client apps can subscribe to any existing topic, or they can create a new topic.
So how can I can check how many existing topics are available for me? Is it only through the console? Or is there an API?
As already mentioned by #FrankvanPuffelen in the comments section, there is not available API to get a list of Topics you have.
What you could do is keep record of the topics you have created on your server side. So it pretty much depends on your own implementation.
Also, if you are thinking of checking the number of subscribers of a specific topic so you can see which ones are active or not, it's also not possible. See this answer by #ArthurThompson:
No. There is no current way to query the number of subscribers to a topic, you would have to maintain the relationship between token and topics on you app server.

Fetch all email from Gmail account

I can get the Information of user data and email address from google api with help from this link.
But my task is to get all user mails from a Gmail account, and display them in a table view.
I checked the Gmail API but can't get enough reference.
Is there any way to do it ?
You probably want to look into threads. While normally a programmer would probably think of background processes when talking about threads, Google refers to "groups" of messages as threads (how it groups an email and replies into a single message in the client). While the API Reference for threads has an example in Java, it shouldn't be too hard to translate it into Obj-C if you're already set up to make other calls to the Google API.
Specifically, look into the list method (linked above). Alternatively, you could use messages.list but they will be much less organized. Also know that I'm pretty sure you'll need to increase the maxResults as I believe the default max is 100.

Rails sms, email and voice messaging framework

Is there a framework built in rails that lets me do something like send a message and then based off of user preferences automatically determine whether a text message, voice message or email message should be sent (or any combination of the 3 options)?
Also, if there is a framework like this, does it have support for receiving text messages or email messages and taking actions?
I know this is a big ask. The reason I am asking is because I have started implementing a system like this and am considering making it open source but I am curious if there is anything out there like this already that I should learn from first before publishing my system.
A full blown framework? No.
A helper library that does 95.2% of what you're looking for? Yes.
Using the Twilio gem - https://github.com/twilio/twilio-ruby - you can send SMS or Voice with a handful of lines of code. You don't need to know their mobile carrier either, you can just send the SMS/Call for pennies per message/minute.
If you need a hand with it, I'm happy to help. You can reach me at keith # twilio.com.
