email-notifier

Sends an IFTTT (Android) notification immediately after new email (meeting certain criteria, by sender or subject) is received.

1. Business value

Emails that are added to Gmail through POP3/IMAP get the new email forwarded with a ~<1h delay. This program solves the serious issue when an immediate response is required following certain correspondence.

2. Development status

Stable early prototype. Further development: needs refactoring with tests, futhermore, POP3 interface is redundant (should only use IMAP).

3. Technical details

Used Stack

  • Python + IMAP, POP3
  • Notifications managed by IFTTT
  • Deployed on Heroku

Deployment in Heroku

Must create config variables from the example and also values HEROKU (empty value) and LANG (value en_US.UTF-8)
