If you try to proceed with this tutorial without setting up an app password and you have 2-Step Authentication on, you’ll quickly run into this error: Structuring The Python Code Once you’ve setup your password, you’ll need to save it somewhere secure so you can use it to access your Gmail emails in the Python script. Click on this link and setup your password to read from your Gmail and your local machine, or if you plan to use a server, select “Other”. Go to the Security settings of your account in Google and look for the “Signing in to Google” section where you should see “App passwords” as shown below.

In Google, if you have 2-Step Verification turned on (which you should, so if you haven’t go turn it on), you will need to create an individualized App Password for accessing your account from a given application – in this case, our Python interpreter. The first thing we need to think about when accessing email accounts is security. Getting Your Gmail Account Setup & Secure
We’ll be using only the Python Standard Library, imaplib, and email to achieve this.

In this tutorial, we show you how to extract data from emails sent from Google Analytics to a Gmail account. Often times, you may not be able to access an API for security reasons and email is the last resort. For Google Analytics, they provide a litany of backend API, Data Export, and other services to provide data to their customers for further analysis, however, sending data around by email is still a key feature in their application. For more, please read the T&Cs.ĭespite the mass investment by third parties to provide API access to reports and data that their customers want, email still remains a fundamental part of the data transfer process. However, if you were using BenkoDesk, the need to have their email stored in a custom field would be obviated because you could always just post a comment like this to give them an update: there, Once you have the info in the card somehow, you could use this Trellinator function to extract the data: BenkoDesk puts the from email in the card title by default. There's also the SendBoard and Hipporello powerups that do similar things:Īlthough in those cases, they're powerups so I'm not sure if the sender information is present in the card title or description, you'd have to test it out. To address that problem, you could use my BenkoDesk product that lets you use Trello as a Gmail client: Not sure if the same is true for the outlook/gmail plugins that automatically create cards from emails. I would appreciate any Long When you use Trello's email to board feature, you don't see the sender's email address, so unless the email address is reliably included in the body text of the email you won't have access to it. I suppose I could pattern match as well, but that's a less useful scenario given the multitude of date formats a sender could use. Older documentation suggests that Butler can do this, but the configuration options for today's version of Butler do not appear to (?) contain appropriate options. Second, I would like to extract a date from the subject line to assign to the Due field (directly or via a custom field).
I would prefer to be able to extract the email from the "FROM" field of the email itself, but I can also search for a text string in the description if necessary. Both of these appear to be common requests, but the example documentation on this topic appears to be out of date (pre-acquisition).įirst, I would like to extract the sender's email address from the email and add it to a custom field so that the sender receives updates as the task moves through the workflow. The short version is that I am trying to extract two specific pieces of information from an inbound email using Butler. That may change in the future, but for now it's what I am working with. The workflow I am trying to accommodate uses email as a starting point.
