3️⃣ Google Cloud Platform Setup

📚 Detailed GCP Configuration

1. Create Google Cloud Project

   • Navigate to Google Cloud Console
   • Create new project or select existing
   • Note the Project ID for reference

2. Enable Gmail API

   # Using gcloud CLI (optional)
   gcloud services enable gmail.googleapis.com

3. Configure OAuth2 Credentials

   • Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
   • Click Create Credentials > OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
   • Select Desktop Application
   • Download JSON file as credentials.json

4. Security Configuration

   • Add test users if in development mode
   • Configure OAuth consent screen
   • Set appropriate scopes: gmail.send, gmail.readonly

4️⃣ Application Configuration

Create and customize config/settings.json with all available options:

{
  "csv_file": "csv/recipients.csv",
  "template_file": "template/welcome_email.html",
  "subject": "Welcome to Our Platform - {{Name}}",
  "log_file": "logs/campaign_log.txt",
  "default_attachment": "attachments/user_guide.pdf",
  "retry_count": 3,
  "scopes": [
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send",
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly"
  ],
  "credentials_file": "credentials.json",
  "token_file": "token.json",
  "send_time": "2025-12-15 10:00:00"
}

5️⃣ Data Preparation

# Create recipient CSV file
echo "Name,Email" > csv/recipients.csv
echo "John Doe,john@example.com" >> csv/recipients.csv

# Create basic HTML template
mkdir -p template
cat > template/welcome.html << 'EOF'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Welcome</title></head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello {{Name}}</h1>
  <p>Welcome to our service!</p>
  <p>Your email: {{Email}}</p>
</body>
</html>
EOF

6️⃣ Launch Application

# First run - will trigger OAuth2 flow
python mailsender.py

# Check logs for execution status
tail -f logs/mail_log.txt

Gmail API Scopes & Permissions

SCOPE	PERMISSION	USAGE
gmail.send	Send emails only	Recommended (secure)
gmail.readonly	Read email metadata	Analytics & reporting
gmail.modify	Send + modify emails	Advanced workflows
gmail.compose	Create draft emails	Draft management

🏗️ Programmatic Integration

Python Integration Example:

from mailengine import MailSender
from mailengine.auth import authenticate_gmail

# Initialize the mail sender
mail_sender = MailSender(config_path='config/settings.json')

# Authenticate with Gmail
service = authenticate_gmail()

# Send bulk emails
results = mail_sender.send_bulk_campaign(
    csv_path='data/recipients.csv',
    template_path='templates/welcome.html',
    subject='Welcome to our platform!',
    attachments=['docs/guide.pdf']
)

# Process results
for result in results:
    if result['status'] == 'success':
        print(f"✅ Sent to {result['email']}")
    else:
        print(f"❌ Failed: {result['email']} - {result['error']}")

Command Line Interface:

# Direct execution with custom config
python mailsender.py --config custom_config.json

# Dry run mode (validation only)
python mailsender.py --dry-run

# Verbose logging
python mailsender.py --verbose

# Send specific campaign
python mailsender.py --campaign marketing_q4

🔒 Security Best Practices

🛡️ Credential Security # Secure file permissions chmod 600 credentials.json chmod 600 token.json # Environment variables export GMAIL_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/secure/path/ export GMAIL_TOKEN_PATH=/secure/path/ 🔐 Access Control { "scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send"], "token_expiry_hours": 24, "auto_refresh": true }

📊 Rate Limiting { "rate_limit": { "emails_per_minute": 100, "daily_quota": 10000, "burst_limit": 50 }, "monitoring": { "quota_alerts": true, "performance_tracking": true } } 🚫 Security Headers <!-- Email security headers --> <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'">

Common Issues:

Issue	Solution
Authentication errors	Re-run OAuth setup and check credentials
CSV format issues	Check Name,Email headers are present
Access denied to credentials	Set proper file permissions: chmod 600 credentials.json
Template errors	Verify file paths in settings.json

For debugging, enable "debug": true in settings.json. Run python mailsender.py --health-check for system validation.
