A flask server, which serves an endpoint to send an email (with custom body and attached image) to all guests who attended the most recent meeting (scheduled on Google Calendar).
- Once the request is sent to the API, it checks the logged-in user's calendar to find his most recent meeting.
- From this meeting event, it extracts the email ids (if visible) of all the attendees
- An email is then created (body of the email, and an image attachment can be sent as part of the request)
- If there is an image attachment, it is temporarily saved as
notes.jpgin theworkspacefolder, which is later used when sending the email. - This email is then sent to each of the attendees
- Clone this repository
- Create a project on Google Cloud Engine
- Give this project access to Gmail API and Google Calendar API
- Create a credential (of type OAuth client ID). Set up the OAuth Consent screen. In the "Scopes for Google APIs" section, add these additional scopes:
- ../auth/calendar.readonly
- ../auth/gmail.compose
- Once the credential has been created, download it, and save it into the
configfolder of the cloned project ascredentials.json - Create a virtual environment if needed.
- Install the requirements.
pip install -r requirements.txt - Run the server:
python app.py- If this is the first time running, it will open a browser, asking the user to login into Google. Once this is successful, a
token.picklefile will be created in theconfigfolder. This will save the session, and there will be no need to login again.
- If this is the first time running, it will open a browser, asking the user to login into Google. Once this is successful, a
- The server should be running now. The endpoint to be used is
/sendnotes, and the data should be sent as POST. - Sample Requests:
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/sendnotescurl -X POST http://localhost:5000/sendnotes -F "body=Minutes of the Meeting"curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/sendnotes -F "body=Minutes of the Meeting" -F "image=@/some/path/to/image.jpg"
