HappyFox Backend Assignment

This document outlines a backend assignment to build a Python script that integrates with Gmail API. The script should: 1. Authenticate with Gmail API and store fetched emails in a database. 2. Process emails based on rules defined in a JSON file, taking actions like marking emails as read or moving messages. 3. Rules can check email fields like sender, subject, body against predicates like "contains" and actions include marking/moving emails. The submission should demonstrate the script's functionality, include tests, and explain implementation in a readme file and video presentation.

Backend

Assignment
Problem Statement

Write a standalone Python script that integrates


with Gmail API and performs some rule based
operations on emails.

Task Details & Breakdown


1. This project is meant to be a standalone Python script, not a web server project.
Use any 3rd party libraries you need for the assignment

2. Authenticate to Google’s Gmail API using OAuth (use Google’s official Python
client) and fetch a list of emails from your Inbox. Do NOT use IMAP.

3. Come up with a database table representation and store these emails there. Use
any relational database for this (Postgres / MySQL / SQLite3).

4. Now that you can fetch emails, write another script that can process emails (in
Python code, not using Gmail’s Search) based on some rules and take some
actions on them using the REST API.

5. These rules can be stored in a JSON file. The file should have a list of rules.
Each rule has a set of conditions with an overall predicate and a set of actions.
Example: Taken from Apple Mail app.

Requirements for Rules

Each rule has 3 properties

- Field name (From / To / Subject / Date Received / etc)

- Predicate ( contains / not equals / less than )

- Value

A collection of Rules has one of 2 predicates - “All” or “Any”

- “All” indicates that all the given conditions must match in order to run the actions.

- “Any” indicates that at least one of the conditions must match in order to run the
conditions.

Implement the following set: (Similar to the screenshot)

Fields: From, Subject, Message, Received Date/Time

Predicate

- For string type fields - Contains, Does not Contain, Equals, Does not equal

- For date type field (Received) - Less than / Greater than for days / months.
Actions

- Mark as read / mark as unread

- Move Message

You should be able to make the rule in the screenshot work as well as any other
combination of the same set of fields / predicates.

What we look for


1. Whether all the functionality described in the requirements are met.
2. Readme file with the steps to install and run the app.
3. Test cases will be a great bonus. ( we’re looking for unit or integration tests)
4. Whether there are any obvious problems with the implementation.

How to share the assignment

Please share the assignment code on GitHub along with a video recording that includes a
concise presentation on how you have implemented the task, coupled with a
demonstration showcasing its functionality.

Good Luck !
