How To Integrate eSignature in G Suite

hi everyone this is Wesley Chun from Google have you ever wanted to programmatically update your email signature say to send the latest news or random witty quotes to your email messages me too in 2016 the Gmail API was enhanced with the ability to update user settings including signatures in a moment I'll walk you through a short Python script that does exactly that for more info on this addition to the API check out the launch blog post but first a quick word about send as email addresses Gmail lets you send messages from addresses other than your actual gmail address which is considered your primary address this lets you manage multiple accounts from the same gmail user interface as expected you need to own or have access to the alternate email accounts in order to do this however most people only use their primary address so you may not know about it you can learn more about the send as addresses at the pair of links on screen now you may be tempted to use the term alias especially since it was in the help pages you just looked at write but try to avoid that word for now as it will open up Pandora's box and distract us from the focus of this video hello email signatures see you almost forgot already right if you stick with sender addresses or send as email addresses there won't be any confusion so what's the app we're building today it's a short Python script that sets a quote of the day as a signature in your primary address well where does this quote of the day come from well it can be as simple and as boring as this function that returns a hard-coded string cute but not very random right a better idea is to choose from a number of quotes you have in a relational database with columns for quotes and authors here's some sample code for data in a sequel Lite database more random which is cool but not as efficient because we're selecting all of rows and then choosing one randomly I prefer to use a web service instead using a REST API the code snippet here does exactly that you only need to provide the URL for a quote of the day service that returns a JSON payload to play it safe it does fall back to a hard-coded string the one we saw earlier if the service fails to return a quote now be sure to have the latest Python client library installed with pip or pip three also make sure to have a Google API project in the dev console with the Gmail API enabled finally if you're new to the Gmail API check out our intro video first if you're ready let's go to the computer and take a look at the code okay here on the desktop I have a window open to Gmail and I clicked on compose and...
