Description
I'm building an email triage extension for our workspace (and others in the future). One of the requests that came out of user testing is that if a mailbox has a large number of messages, finding a given one based on its subject line is difficult.
However, the extension already has the
messageIdandthreadIdfor the email in question, from the GMail API! It would be a trivial task to open the message in question based on these, or at least navigate the GMail UI.Problem is, the
CardServiceand other related Apps Script APIs don't seem to permit navigation of the GMail interface directly.I would like to request a feature to be able to open a given message or thread based on its ID, in the same tab, from a Google Workspace add-on.
Impact
Ease of programmatic navigation in the interface would make the user experience smoother (no need to open a new tab to open a given message), and would lead to increased adoption.
