salty-gmailer 0.0.2

A python package to manage and automate your personal Gmail account.

Salty Gmailer

Salty Gmailer is a configuration based Gmail automation tool. Configuration is based off of YAML files that utilize the Gmail search query (q=...) and the addition and subtraction of labels to manage emails.

See here for the library of search operators supported.

Usage

usage: gmailer [-h] [paths ...]

Configuration based automation for gmail.

positional arguments:
paths path containing the rule.yaml files

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

Currently, the only arguments are locations of YAML configuration files.

For example, if you YAML configuration files were in a relative path to your current location named rules, you would execute the program as gmailer ./rules

Configuration

See the following example of a YAML rule:

name: Trash
description: Sends messages to trash
search:
- older_than: 1m
- from: "github_ OR"
- from: [e-mail]
  add_labels:
- TRASH
  remove_labels:

Currently, name and description are for logging purposes only.

search takes a list of key/value pairs to filter email messages to act on. These are taken directly from the Gmail search query operators.

add_labels is a list of labels to add that match the search criteria, while its inverse remove_labels will remove labels that match any search criteria. This rule will find all emails older than 1 month that are from 'github_' or '[e-mail] ' and adds the label 'TRASH' to any emails that match, trashing the emails.
