Invio delle email

Esistono due modi per inviare email utilizzando l'API Gmail:

Le email vengono inviate come stringhe codificate base64url all'interno della proprietà raw di un risorsa di messaggistica. La configurazione di alto livello del flusso di lavoro per inviare un'email prevede:

  1. Crea i contenuti dell'email in un modo pratico e codificali come stringa base64url.
  2. Crea una nuova risorsa di messaggio e imposta la relativa proprietà raw su base64url la stringa appena creata.
  3. Chiama il numero messages.send oppure, se stai inviando una bozza, drafts.send per inviare il messaggio.

I dettagli di questo flusso di lavoro possono variare a seconda del client scelto libreria e linguaggio di programmazione.

Creazione dei messaggi

L'API Gmail richiede messaggi email MIME conformi RFC 2822 e codificate come stringhe base64url. Molti linguaggi di programmazione hanno librerie o utilità che semplificano il processo di creazione e codifica MIME messaggi. I seguenti esempi di codice mostrano come creare un messaggio MIME utilizzando le librerie client delle API di Google per vari linguaggi.

Java

La creazione di un'email può essere notevolmente semplificata con il MimeMessage nel pacchetto javax.mail.internet. L'esempio seguente mostra come per creare il messaggio email, incluse le intestazioni:

gmail/snippets/src/main/java/CreateEmail.java
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;

/* Class to demonstrate the use of Gmail Create Email API  */
public class CreateEmail {

  /**
   * Create a MimeMessage using the parameters provided.
   *
   * @param toEmailAddress   email address of the receiver
   * @param fromEmailAddress email address of the sender, the mailbox account
   * @param subject          subject of the email
   * @param bodyText         body text of the email
   * @return the MimeMessage to be used to send email
   * @throws MessagingException - if a wrongly formatted address is encountered.
   */
  public static MimeMessage createEmail(String toEmailAddress,
                                        String fromEmailAddress,
                                        String subject,
                                        String bodyText)
      throws MessagingException {
    Properties props = new Properties();
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

    MimeMessage email = new MimeMessage(session);

    email.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromEmailAddress));
    email.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
        new InternetAddress(toEmailAddress));
    email.setSubject(subject);
    email.setText(bodyText);
    return email;
  }
}

Il passaggio successivo prevede la codifica di MimeMessage, la creazione di un'istanza di un Message e imposta la stringa di messaggio codificata base64url come valore del valore proprietà raw.

gmail/snippets/src/main/java/CreateMessage.java
import com.google.api.services.gmail.model.Message;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

/* Class to demonstrate the use of Gmail Create Message API */
public class CreateMessage {

  /**
   * Create a message from an email.
   *
   * @param emailContent Email to be set to raw of message
   * @return a message containing a base64url encoded email
   * @throws IOException        - if service account credentials file not found.
   * @throws MessagingException - if a wrongly formatted address is encountered.
   */
  public static Message createMessageWithEmail(MimeMessage emailContent)
      throws MessagingException, IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    emailContent.writeTo(buffer);
    byte[] bytes = buffer.toByteArray();
    String encodedEmail = Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(bytes);
    Message message = new Message();
    message.setRaw(encodedEmail);
    return message;
  }
}

Python

Il seguente esempio di codice mostra la creazione di un messaggio MIME, la codifica per una stringa base64url e assegnandola al campo raw di Message risorsa:

gmail/snippet/send mail/create_Draft.py
import base64
from email.message import EmailMessage

  """
  creds, _ = google.auth.default()

  try:
    # create gmail api client
    service = build("gmail", "v1", credentials=creds)

    message = EmailMessage()

    message.set_content("This is automated draft mail")

    message["To"] = "gduser1@workspacesamples.dev"
    message["From"] = "gduser2@workspacesamples.dev"
    message["Subject"] = "Automated draft"

    # encoded message
    encoded_message = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(message.as_bytes()).decode()

    # pylint: disable=E1101
    draft = (
        service.users()
        .drafts()
        .create(userId="me", body=create_message)
        .execute()
    )

    print(f'Draft id: {draft["id"]}\nDraft message: {draft["message"]}')

  except HttpError as error:
    print(f"An error occurred: {error}")
    draft = None

  return draft

Creazione di messaggi con allegati

Creare un messaggio con un allegato è come creare qualsiasi altro messaggio, ma la procedura per caricare il file come file MIME multiparte dipende dal linguaggio di programmazione. Il seguente codice esempi mostrano possibili modi per creare un messaggio MIME multiparte con in un allegato.

Java

L'esempio seguente mostra come creare un messaggio MIME multiparte, i passaggi di codifica e assegnazione sono gli stessi indicati sopra.

Se stai cercando di inviare una risposta e vuoi che l'email sia in thread, assicurati che:

  1. Le intestazioni Subject corrispondono
  2. Le intestazioni References e In-Reply-To seguono le RFC 2822.
