hi guys...can anyone help me with email delegation using gmail api?
@timrichardson
This is my code so far:
https://dpaste.org/82GB

404 from the link

Could you provide an example HTML file? I am trying to make my code work.

I think you can put the html as a string.

results = gmail.users().settings().sendAs().patch(userId='me', sendAsEmail=address['sendAsEmail'], body=signature).execute()

signature from above is signature = {'signature': '<div>something</div>' }

Thanks, I will give another try!

this is great. has anyone gotten it to work with information within workspace and not a separate Excel file?
