Hi,
I wonder if it’s possible to use Lucee to create a gmail plugin. I’m just thinking loud here…
Thanks.
If by plugin you mean extension then yes… the front end would be javascript and the back end Lucee.
Did you have something specific in mind? (I’m referring to chrome extension)

Yes, extension, so, sounds like it would be a chrome extension. Where can I see such sample code? googling for it?
Thanks.
(Google is my friend…

If you’re planning on using the gmail api in your extension, be aware that it will be subject to an independent security review before Google will approve it, and that costs between $15,000 - $75,000 (Google’s estimate). This does not apply if it’s an internal web app (not public).

i appreciate the info, in the meantime, for google, go f??k themselves! it’s already pretty evil enough!!! definitely NOT my friend.
what do you mean by “internal web app” in relation to gmail extension?
You do not need to submit your app for review if it’s going to be used in any of the following scenarios:
- The app is not shared with anyone else.
- The app is used to send emails through WordPress, or similar single account SMTP plug-ins.
- The owner and users of your apps belong to the same G Suite domain or customer. Learn more about public and internal applications. If you aren’t an Apps Script developer, learn how to mark your app as internal in the FAQ How can I mark my app as internal-only?
- The app is domain installed or whitelisted by a G Suite domain administrator. If your app is intended for G Suite users, access might depend on domain administrator permission. Obtaining a verification will likely make it easier for administrators to grant access.
- The app is in development mode and not ready to be public. Note that the app will be subject to the OAuth user quota.
- The app is trying to access data from users’ Google Cloud Platform project. For instructions on using a service account, see Using OAuth 2.0 for Server to Server Applications.

Andrew, I appreciate the info. Not sure if it’s worth the time and effort. My initial idea was to create a tiny plugin or extension and share it with a few friends or acquaintances who also use gmail and that plugin or extension would solve only problem that they care. If too much hassle, then forget it.
