Support for templates ("cannedResponse") action about gmailctl HOT 6 CLOSED

Sorry if it was unclear. From the example you posted, it seems that the XML import / export from Gmail takes canned responses into account. However, the API gmailctl depends upon is the REST one: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/rest/v1/users.settings.filters. I don't see an equivalent there, so it seems impossible at the moment. Unless I'm missing something.

Oh that looks so ugly! Thanks for the pointers. A part from the limitation on creating drafts, the other issue is that the users.drafts.list API requires at least the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly scope, which is pretty sensitive.

Overall I think it's too early to provide a good experience on this. I'll keep this issue open as the situation may change.

That sounds interesting. There's no official API as far as I can tell, so I wonder how gmailctl could expose filters with canned responses.

@mbrt would creating a filter referencing an inline template (as above) not work? I'm not at all familiar with the APIs you use.

Gotcha, that makes sense. FWIW, canned responses seem to be a special type of Draft, which does have an API to at least read¹. But it doesn't seem possible to create them²
