I am relatively new to GCP platform. I need to create a system wherein my team gets notifications whenever an email is received from there client.
I have to create a system which is publishing messages in pubsub topic filtered by email id.
example : I want to publish only those message/emails in which "To" and "From" fields has "example#gmail.com"
I have referred the online documentations but could not find the workaround.
Is this possible using GCP?
If not is there any other service via which I can achieve the same ?
We are using Gmail as the email client
Thanks
What you can use, is Pub/Sub together with Cloud Functions, which enables to access Gmail programmatically. Your specific scenario could look as following:
User sets up Gmail push notifications: every time a new message arrives at inbox, Gmail will send a notification to Cloud Pub/Sub.
Cloud Pub/Sub delivers the new message notification to Google Cloud Functions.
Upon arrival of the new message notification, a Cloud Functions instance connects to Gmail and retrieves the new message.
Check who send the message, and perform specific actions.
Before setting up a Cloud Function to automatically read your emails, you must authorize its access to Gmail. Have a look for codelab scenario and see step by step how to perform specific actions and adjust the function for your needs. Additionally, you can take a look for official documentation here.

I am setting up alerting for GCP VMs. It works fine for email, but I'm trying to use the webhook option. It shows the incident was caught and the webhook triggered. But I don't see an alert on the receiving end. I don't know how to debug since GCP webhooks seems like a blackbox. Does anybody know where I can see the log for the actual webhook call? I'm not sure it is receiving an alert ID from the webhook call.
I'm using this document:
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/alerts/using-channels-api#api-create-channels
Thanks!

You configure a webhook notification channel and expect to be notified when incidents occur, but you might not receive any notifications because of following reasons:
1.Private endpoint
You can't use webhooks for notifications unless the endpoint is public.
To resolve this situation, use Pub/Sub notifications combined with a pull subscription to that notification topic.
When you configure a Pub/Sub notification channel, incident notifications are sent to a Pub/Sub queue that has Identity and Access Management controls. Any service that can query for, or listen to, a Pub/Sub topic can consume these notifications. For example, applications running on App Engine, Cloud Run, or Compute Engine virtual machines can consume these notifications.
2.Public endpoint
To identify why the delivery failed, examine your Cloud Logging log entries for failure information.
For example, you can search for log entries for the notification channel resource by using the Logs Explorer, with a filter like the following:
resource.type="stackdriver_notification_channel"
NOTE : Also check whether you have been mentioned in the recipient list, if not mentioned you will not be able to see the alert on the receiving end.
Refer Troubleshooting Alerting policies for information.
I am new to alert policy creation in google cloud.
I have set up a GKE cluster and enabled upgrade notifications to publish a message to Pub/Sub topic whenever cluster gets upgraded. The Pub/Sub uses pull subscription model. Now whenever a message is published to the pub/sub I need to set-up an alerting policy to pull the message and send an email containing the message content to a distribution channel via email. I need to achieve it without writing Cloud function only through alerting policy?
Can anyone please suggest how to achieve this? Thank you
Alert policy can't read the PubSub messages. The product listen to the logs and when the combination match a policy rule, an action (an alert) is generated.
If you need to send an email on the PubSub message content, you MUST read it (with Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, App Engine or whatever) and:
Either send directly the email with the message content
Or, if you want to use Cloud Alerting, publish a special log format (put a specific key word in the log that you write along to the message content), to let Cloud Alerting detect the log entries and send email alert with the log trace (including your message content)
I want to develop an app that allows the users of the app (sellers on Amazon), to send me a notification when they receive an order on Amazon (a notification containing informations about the order).
Is it possible?
Maybe only the seller can receive notifications about his account.
I think, if it's possible, I need a MWS and a AWS account.
In the documentation of MWS (https://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/notifications/Notifications_Overview.html), there is:
The Amazon MWS push notifications enable you to receive information
that is relevant to your business with Amazon without having to poll
the Amazon MWS service. Instead, the information is sent directly to
you when an event occurs to which you are subscribed. For more
information about how to subscribe to receive notifications, see
Subscriptions Overview in the Amazon MWS Subscriptions API section
reference.
Then, in the 'Subscriptions API' section:
The Amazon MWS Subscriptions API section enables you to subscribe to
receive notifications that are relevant to your business with Amazon.
With the operations in the Subscriptions API section, you can register
to receive important information from Amazon without having to poll
the Amazon MWS service. Instead, the information is sent directly to
you when an event occurs to which you are subscribed.
To receive notifications, you must first create and register a
Destination, such as an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
queue. Then, you create a Subscription for the NotificationType that
you want to receive, such as a notification when another Seller has
changed their offer for an item that you also sell. Finally, verify
that Amazon is able to send notifications to your Destination by
calling the SendTestNotificationToDestination operation.
Not at this time. The only notification options are AnyOfferChangedNotification, which sends an SQS message when any one of the top 20 offers for an ASIN changes, and FulfillmentOrderStatusNotification, which notifies you if there is a multi channel order status chance, and FeePromotionNotification.
This hasn't changed since I started using the AnyOfferChangedNotification several years ago.
One idea is to create an app that uses the Orders API periodically to check for orders, then you can have the app create the SQS message (or use another service altogether). This would then notify you of a new order.
I try to get real-time notifications on my slack channel from google calendar and gmail apis.
I already created a Pub-Sub account and I want to add a push subscription on my topic with a slack incoming webhook url but when I try to add it, I got :
The supplied HTTP URL is not registered in the subscription's parent project
I've tried the same thing and it seems that first, you need to verify ownership of your webhook domain.
You would do it here :
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/domainverification
if you would own the slack domain, which I don't think you do...and I don't either...unfortunately I haven't found a solution to circumvent this.
"You need to verify domain ownership to allow webhook notifications to be sent to your external domains. Google verifies that the user owns each of the listed domains via Search Console."
iv the same problem.
Try with this https://github.com/Spencer-Easton/Apps-Script-Gmail-Push-Notifications
or see : https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/advanced#push_endpoints
The documentation explains, in the article "Cloud Pub/Sub > Documentation > Advanced Configuration", in the section "Register Endpoints", how to register endpoints not on App Engine or not on the same cloud project. You'll need to very that you own the domain and register it.
Our apps are being developed for both Android and iOS. We are using AWS SNS Mobile Push to push messages to both GCM and APNS. The back end is PHP and so it uses the AWS PHP SDK.
Until now, our system has been saving 1 Endpoint ARN per user. We then broadcast a Mobile Push message directly to this Endpoint ARN.
The question:
It would be strange if a user were logged into our app on multiple devices and did not receive push notifications on all of them. So - we're going to have to change something.
How, in AWS Mobile Push, is the concept of 'one user, multiple devices (and potentially multiple platforms) handled?
Does our system have to maintain a one-to-many association of user-to-EndpointARNs (i.e. start saving multiple EndpointARNs per user so that we may push messages to all of them sequentially)?
Or should I be looking into the 'Topics' concept that Mobile Push provides (I'm confused here - do some people use one topic per user, and then push messages to the topic itself?)..
Lastly - I guess as a bonus question - is it normal for people using the PHP AWS SDK to include both APNS and GCM attributes in the Message payload array? We haven't been keeping track of 'which type of device each user uses'. We've just been saving an Endpoint ARN per user. And I guess the thought was to just cover all our platform bases (APNS, APNS_SANDBOX, GCM) when we're pushing a message to an endpoint.
I've been doing a lot of searching on the 'one user with multiple devices' topic re: Mobile Push with AWS SNS, and really the results have been quite unhelpful.
Help please :(
Thanks!
Once you send SNS Push message , you will get success or failure reason.
Could you please check your logs and share to identify exact issue.
Cloudwatch :
SNS publishes Cloudwatch metrics for number of messages published, number of successful notifications, number of failed notifications and size of data published. Metrics are available on per application basis. You can access Cloudwatch metrics via AWS Management Console or CloudWatch APIs.
Direct addressing:
Direct addressing allows you to deliver notifications directly to a single endpoint, rather than sending identical messages to all subscribers of a topic. This is useful if you want to deliver precisely targeted messages to each recipient. When you register device tokens with SNS, SNS creates an endpoint that corresponds to the token. You can publish to the token endpoint just as you would publish to a topic. You can direct publish either the text of your notification, or a platform-specific payload that takes advantage of platform-specific features such as updating the badge count of your app. Direct addressing is currently only available for push notifications endpoints.
Official documentation, "When a topic is created, Amazon SNS will assign a unique ARN (Amazon Resource Name) to the topic.
https://aws.amazon.com/sns/faqs/
I have a solution for this issue as you already know ARN is associated with single device token so you must be manage it own your own to send push to same user with multiple device.
My approach is to create 2 table in mysql or whatever database you are using
1. For APNS or, APNS_SANDBOX having details like user_id(local), device token, endpoint ARN, status etc (EG : sns_apns)
2. Same for GCM or BAIDU you have to create a table having user details with endpoint ARN(EG : sns_gcm)
Now every time when you send push to a particular user just write a code something like this
Switch($platform) {
case 'APNS':
case 'APNS_SANDBOX':
Select all users from sns_apns by login id.
Create a message and send it to all users having same user id
case 'GCM':
Select all users from sns_gcm by login id.
Create a message and send it to all users having same user id
}
I haven't tried this but to solve your problem I would keep a map of the user's cognito userID and corresponding endpoint ARN for each major app defining transaction done by the user. If the endpoint already exist then no need to save it. But if for this userID another endpoint ARN is notice then save, update, add or associate this new endpointARN with userID in DynamoDB as a #Document attribute. Then at anytime just broadcast to all endpointARN associated to the userID in DynamoDB.
The mysampleapp mobile hub example codes are useful for quick manipulation. For android:
Get the endpointARN in app like this:
PushManager pushManager;
String userDeviceEndPoint;
pushManager = AWSMobileClient.defaultMobileClient().getPushManager();
userDeviceEndPoint = pushManager.getEndpointArn();
You can update DynamoDB using the update save behaviour to ignore if an already existing endpoint is noticed for the user:
DynamoDBMapper mapper = new DynamoDBMapper(ddbClient, new DynamoDBMapperConfig(DynamoDBMapperConfig.SaveBehavior.UPDATE_SKIP_NULL_ATTRIBUTES));
Not sure how to do this in PHP though. Hope this idea helps.
