Blomstra Email Conversations: post via email to your Flarum forum

I'm so stoked that we - as Blomstra - can show this to the community

That’s an awesome extension. Makes me think that it could replace Zammad as a Helpdesk But need to look into Mailgun - that’s of course a big limiting factor.

Wow, that's pretty darn cool! Glad to see something like this come to fruition for flarum that will also be offered to the community. Great job by the Blomstra team and special thanks for the client for commissioning.

We'd love to leverage something like this but would need a self-hosted option, so I am hopeful some of the other mail options make its way in at some point. Also excited to see what comes from the other integration points, namely slack

ctml Slack is currently being worked on already for the same client. If I'm not mistaken they favor open sourcing that too! They, however, prefer it to be build against the new beta API, you get request access here: https://slack.com/platform-beta

As for alternative mail adapters; they'd need to be able to receive email. A raw IMAP option might be possible but would either be commissioned or contributed. We gladly assist with either of those.

How many working hours it may take?

I think users can start a discussion using WhatsApp, we can relay on API providers like twillo or kaleyra
A user sends a "hi" message to a WhatsApp number > selects options > starts a discussion... this will be an expensive API call for every API request WhatsApp charges around 0.013x4

the possibilities are endless, we can also integrate this extension with IFTTT
using the android app of IFTTT we can create something like if someone sends us an SMS we can start a discussion
if someone tweets something we can start a discussion

Any ideas?

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires blomstra/email-conversations *, found blomstra/email-conversations[dev-master, 0.1.0-beta.1, 0.1.0-beta.2, 0.1.0-beta.3, 0.1.0-beta.4] but it does not match your minimum-stability.

Using php 8.1.

majkimajki you need to install @beta and not * as a version constrain - as stated in the initial post.

OK, thanks.

But I'm getting:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires blomstra/email-conversations @beta -> satisfiable by blomstra/email-conversations[0.1.0-beta.1, 0.1.0-beta.2, 0.1.0-beta.3, 0.1.0-beta.4].
- blomstra/email-conversations[0.1.0-beta.1, ..., 0.1.0-beta.4] require php ⁸.0 -> your php version (7.3.33) does not satisfy that requirement.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

[hempinve@s47 tajemnicenatury]$ php --version
PHP 8.1.8 (cli) (built: Jul 14 2022 10:33:21) (NTS)

Which is quite weird to be honest, as I'm using 8., and flarum dashboard also confirms the php version.

Any ideas?

majkimajki guess that you are using a different version for cli then you are using for the actual hosting. You would need to check your hosting settings.

The issue is within the log you have posted. The minimum stability in your composer.json is set to stable. It should be beta to use this.

Hi,

I've managed to work everything out, but I cannot find anything in the logs.

After sending an email to the verified address no new disscusion is made.

Any tips?

Hi, mailgun gives me: "event": "stored" in the emails it receives.

As for your questions I clicked the button to generate, now I have:

Incoming Mailgun route
6........................d - Blomstra Email Conversations incoming route

IanM

No. No new disscusions appear.

I've used; Additional email addresses, and verified this address, and also tried sending from a different one.

IanM

Here, admin#/mail I have: email@test.com

In the mailgun page app.eu.mailgun.com/app/receiving/routes/ I have, match_recipient('email@test.com')

I'm sending emails to email@test.com, mailgun gives event store.

But no new disscusions show up, any way to debug this?
