Implement "Reply" button for Gmail Integration

[Bonapara]

Desired Behavior

Implement a Reply (View in Gmail) button that redirects the user from an email thread to the corresponding Gmail thread. The feature should only be available when the user is viewing a conversation in their own account.

Specs

1. On clicking the Reply (View in Gmail) button, the user should be redirected to the corresponding email thread in their Gmail account.
2. Use the messageThreadExternalId field from the messageChannelMessageAssociation table to retrieve the relevant email thread ID.
3. Since there can be multiple IDs for a single thread, we must ensure to fetch the messageChannelMessageAssociation item that corresponds to the currently connected user account
4. The URL should look like this https://mail.google.com/mail/?authuser=[connected account.handle]@gmail.com#all/[messageChannelMessageAssociation.messageThreadExternalId]
5. Update the timeline messaging resolver accordingly. This should use the messageThreadExternalId from the messageChannelMessageAssociation table and fetch the row associated with the connected user (User->WorkspaceMember->ConnectedAccounts->Channels->MessageChannelMessageAssociations). If none is found, that means the message is visible to the connected user but has not been imported by them which means displaying a link to the box is not relevant and should be skipped.

Hi, @Bonapara, can I work on this issue? I am confident I can complete this feature.

[Bonapara]

Sure, thanks for contributing @chenterry85! 🙏

hey @Bonapara, am I suppose to setup a demo account using my email in order to test out the reply feature? since the demo account (tim@apple.dev) has no outgoing email threads from this account. I am a bit unsure of the environment setup for testing this feature.

[Bonapara]

Hi @chenterry85 I think so! @bosiraphael to confirm :)

Hey @chenterry85! You have to create a project on the google cloud console, activate the gmail and calendar apis, and update the credentials in the .env file. After that, you will be able to connect your account on twenty locally and import your emails. Tell me if you have any other questions :)

[chenterry85]

Hi @bosiraphael, thanks for all the instructions! I followed and updated all my credentials on .env, however, I couldn't create a new twenty account with my personal email without paying the $9 monthly fee. Is there anyway to bypass that?

[bosiraphael]

You should only have the subscription popup in production. Are you sure that you opened the app on localhost?

[chenterry85]

@bosiraphael, oh yes I was in production because there was no way to "sign up" a new gmail account on localhost. Is there any other way to sign up?

[bosiraphael]

Hey @chenterry85, you don't need to sign up with a google account to test the feature, just create an account normally, or use the Tim Apple one, and go to connected accounts tab in the settings. There you can connect your google account :)

Hi @chenterry85, I'm unassigning you since it's been a month. Ping me if you still want it!
