Any and all feedback welcome. Happy to take any questions.
- WhatsName 8y agoWhat about privacy? Do you access users email?
- tagspace 8y agoCertainly not. Gmail API let's you work with just message ids. Never accesses content, ever. Super important.
- michaelmior 8y agoI trust that you don't access email content, but I assume that with the permissions that are granted you could, correct?
- trevz 8y agoAdios needs the ability to change the label on emails (in order to move them into the inbox at your chosen times). This permission is unfortunately also the permission needed to access emails. If you know anyone at Google who can change this, please let us know ;) as we're keen to ask for as little permission as possible. Importantly though, the content of emails never ever hits our system. The API calls we use only retrieve msg ids and uses those to change the labels. These are never stored.
- nwsm 8y agoBut in the future you could store them and users wouldn't know something changed, correct?
- tagspace 8y agoGreat point though - we need to be clearer about that on the home page :)
- alaq 8y agoHow did you achieve this with GAS? Did you stash incoming emails in a folder/tag and re-added them to the inbox on a schedule?
- tagspace 8y agoYeah, exactly. Create a Gmail filter to filter them into a hidden Gmail label. And then at the chosen times, move them into the inbox
