vip-email

Use the vip_email tool to monitor high-priority senders in Gmail and alert once per new message.

First run (required)

If vip_email reports setupRequired: true, switch to the gog skill and complete OAuth:

• gog auth credentials /path/to/client_secret.json
• gog auth add you@gmail.com --services gmail,calendar,drive,contacts,docs,sheets
• gog auth list --json

Then return to vip_email.

Core setup

1. Add VIP senders:
   • vip_email action add_vip with email and optional name
2. Set allowed inbox accounts (optional; defaults to discovered gog accounts):
   • vip_email action set_accounts with accounts
3. Configure alerts:
   • vip_email action set_alerts with:
     • ttsEnabled (true/false)
     • channelRoutes array (channel, target, optional accountId, bestEffort)
4. Install monitor cron:
   • vip_email action ensure_cron_monitor with optional intervalSeconds

Operations

• Health/status: vip_email action status
• Manual scan now: vip_email action scan_now
• List VIPs: vip_email action list_vips
• Remove VIP: vip_email action remove_vip
• Read and clear queued items: vip_email action check_pending (clear defaults true)
• Disable monitor cron: vip_email action disable_cron_monitor
• Reset dedupe set: vip_email action clear_seen

Notes

• Dedupe is key-based per account+message id; the same email should not alert twice.
• Pending queue defaults to /tmp/vip-email-pending.json for downstream processors.
• Cron monitor runs isolated and invokes vip_email scan action.
