GitHub Email Notifications Google Apps Script for Gmail

GitHub notifications Google Apps Script

Features

Label

Creates/maintains Gmail labels based on GitHub notification metadata.

Adds messages to folders based on the reason for the notification. It will create/manage labels for:

• Author of the Issue/Pull Request
• Direct @mentions
• Team @mentions
• Watched repositories
• Meta notifications (added to team, SSH key added, etc...)

Archive

Archives the messages after applying the labels. Disabled by default. Enable by setting SHOULD_ARCHIVE to true.

Mute

Finds muted Gmail threads from GitHub conversations and unsubscribes from the GitHub conversation. It then unmutes the Gmail Thread. The result is that GitHub's logic of re-subscribing on new @mentions is retained while taking advantage of Gmail's interface for muting conversations.

Installation

Because Google Apps Scripts run on Google's infrastructure, you will need to set this script up to run on Google Scripts.

1. Go here
2. Go to "File > Make Copy..."
3. Adjust the MY_TEAMS variable in the labler.gs file to list GitHub teams that you care about. (i.e. ["@myorg/myteam"])
4. Go to "Resources > Current Project's Triggers"
5. Create a new trigger to run the main function of labler.gs, muter.gs, or both however often you want. If you set it to run every minute you will hit a Google rate limit.

Hacking

You can build the source by running script/compile. The generated output in labler.gs and muter.gs can be copied directly into a Google Apps Script.
