I'm using Bugzilla 5.0.2. It wasn't sending emails, so I changed some parameters and now I'd like to test it. I set mail_delivery_method to Test, now what should I do to prompt Bugzilla to send an email? This sounds like a too-simple question, but I can't find anything obvious no matter where I look.
By default Bugzilla doesn't send emails to the person doing the action since they obviously know they did it.
So to send an email create a bug and assign it to someone other than yourself.
Alternatively go to Preference then click the Email Preferences tab and make sure you get emails for all activity.

I want an app/bot that reads the last message that were sent to a specific channel on a server that I participate and depending on the text I want to send a message to that same channel. The thing is, I want to do it in my name, not using a bot id. I know that you can create a bot using your own name and avatar but what I really want is to send a message using my own account. Is that possible? Could not find anything like that in the docs, maybe a missed something?
I do not think you are even allowed to do this so I doubt the discord API would have support for this
Discord Guidelines
"Do not use self-bots or user-bots. Each account must be associated with a human, not a bot. Self-bots put strain on Discord’s infrastructure and our ability to run our services. For more information, you can read our Developer Policies"
However, if you really wanted to do this you could use a macro at the risk of getting your account banned by discord if they found out. You could create a macro in python using the pyautogui module.
EDIT: Apparently it's a client-side issue so not really an issue with the code
I have an application system but the user name/tag doesn't show up right sometimes
is there any way I could fix this or is it a discord issue?
It only works with some members plus it makes it a bit inconvenient to find the user that submitted the application
Sometimes it looks like this (which is wrong)
and sometimes it looks like this
I would do something like
// Create our application, we will fill it later
const application = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("New Application")
.setDescription(`This application was submitted by ${member}/${member.user.tag}`)
.setColor("#ED4245");
but that feels like something very stupid to do and probably would get killed by someone who has more knowledge than me with bots đŸ˜‚
TL;DR : Using approach you thought of is absolutely fine and this only happens when a user isn't available to the guild or hasn't occured to the individual seeing the channel before
Usually if the user hasn't been seen before ( condition like channel access and unavailable to that guild may also apply ) by the individual viewing the channel the ID may show as is like in your case, that is due to discord maintaining only users ever seen by the individual ( this is client side not from Discord itself) to overcome this you may just add the username of the individual at the top of the application
<member>.user.tag
As you answered yourselves! Not to worry though! That's what a smart developer would think of!
Please make sure that if the user has a nickname it's a better approach to use <#!userID>, explained here in <#userID> vs. <#!userID>, discord.js auto-parses that mention for you so in your case it's probably just one of the cases I mentioned above for which the user remains uncached at client side.
You can get the discord user id and tag the user by using
<#insert user id here>
My organization has begun adding obnoxious warnings to the subject and body of any email that arrives from an external address. My organization allows email forwarding, and I forward to gmail. I would like to have the extra text automatically removed before I see them in gmail. This would not violate the policies at my organization. Some ideas I had:
(1) One option would be to set up a gmail filter that edits the message. This feature does not seem to exist.
(2) Another option would be to customize the display so that this particular text is never shown on the screen. Again, there seems to be no way to do this.
(3) I wrote a script in Google Apps to grab to the content of each offending email and send an edited version to myself, but there is no way to make the "from" field show the original sender (perhaps with good reason). I can put that information in "reply to" but the gmail client doesn't show it nicely. This removes the annoying extra text at the cost of the ability to easily see who sent the email. The core of it is this call:
GmailApp.sendEmail("<my_email_address>",newSubject,newBody,{
attachments: message.getAttachments(),
bcc: message.getBcc(),
cc: message.getCc(),
htmlBody: newBody,
replyTo: message.getFrom(),
});
Any ideas? This is becoming a big problem as the "nanny state" approaches, so I'm sure others will appreciate your solution.
Issue
It unfortunately seems that at the day of this post, there is no way of edditing a forwarded email with the Gmail API. Check the documentation to see what you can actually do with the Gmail API in regards to forwarding email addresses.
Workaround
Despite it is not possible to edit a forwarding email address, in your case you are interested in:
Edit the body and subject of the email address.
Preserve the information of who the sender was.
Therefore what you could do is:
Get the email address you want to edit. Get the body, subject and information about who was sending it and store that.
Create a new message where you edit the message you just got and write on the subject the from field that was in the message you just got.
Send that created message to your desired recipient just like it was a forwarding email.
I hope this has helped you. Let me know if you need anything else or if you did not understood something. :)
Apps Script
You can insert messages into your inbox with their original "From" field but a modified body.
Note: Inserting is different from sending because the message is created on the inbox with less validation than sending.
To use this on Apps Script, take a look at the Advanced Gmail Service.
Custom Application
Another idea on how to do this is to use a custom application (in any language you'd prefer) that:
scans your company inbox with IMAP
manipulates the message body to remove the artifacts you don't want
insert manipulated message into your Gmail inbox with the Gmail API
Does anyone know if it's possible to return a different message etc to the chat user if it's the very first time they are interacting with the bot?
For instance, if a user says "hello" (or anything) for the very first time, the bot might respond with, "Hello there!"
If a user says hello some time later, the bot might respond with "Hello, again!"
Looking through the developer docs I'm struggling to find an answer: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform
For context, I'm also using the https://api.ai service.
One way to accomplish this is to set up a "get started" button:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/messenger-profile/get-started-button
This might also be helpful:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/messenger-profile/greeting-text
(But I haven't used it myself, so I'm not sure what it does.)
Also, as already mentioned, you can store user data in your own database, and send a greeting message if you can't find the user there already.
This would currently not be possible with API.ai out of the box, you'd have to build a custom webhook that would save the user id to database and check it on new session.
As a (very) hacky workaround you could try outputting a context after the first hello and each and every other intent you use inputs and outputs that context, essentially remembering the user has talked to the bot via a 'permanent' context.
I need to allow a user of my App to email themselves when an even occurs. I am not sure how to do this.
My first idea is to create a dummy gmail account, and have my App sign-in and send from there via java code. This means hardcoding the password BUT as account not used for anything other than one way emailing - it does not seem to be a problem.
However, I understand that google is pretty proactive about security and if my App (which is global) tries to log into same account in several different countries during a 24 hour period - it will block the email.
I have seen the "delegate" functionality, but that would mean that each user needs their own gmail account which is not practical.
Is there a way to force gmail to allow the sign-ins to happen from wherever?
Or is there a better approach to this problem?
probably not a good idea to have your app to mail from a private account, if I understand you correctly. Best to use email service like http://expresspigeon.com or http://sendgrid.com and simply send a transactional email from your app account. In other words, use an ESP.
The safest would be to ask the user for all the configuration information necessary to access their email server as themself, then send the email as themself to themself. You can use JavaMail to send the message, but you'll need to ask for all the configuration information that any other email application would ask for in order to configure access to their mail server.
There may also be Android-specific ways to do this using the default email application.
