wafflesbot sends form replies to unreplied emails in a [JMAP][jmap] mailbox
(such as [Fastmail][fastmail]).

wafflesbot excels at automatically asking tech recruiters for compensation
information.

Built on:
* JMAP client: [jmapc][jmapc]
* Quoted email reply assembly: [replyowl][replyowl]

## Installation and usage with Docker

A Docker container is provided which runs wafflesbot to reply to emails via
[JMAP server events][jmap-event-source]. JMAP API authentication and reply
details should be configured using environment variables.

Example `docker-compose.yaml`:

```yaml
version: "3.7"

secrets:
jmap_api_token:
file: path/to/file/with/your/jmap_api_token

services:
waffles:
image: ghcr.io/smkent/waffles:latest
environment:
JMAP_HOST: jmap.example.com
JMAP_API_TOKEN: /run/secrets/jmap_api_token
WAFFLES_MAILBOX: folder-or-label-name
WAFFLES_REPLY_FILE: /autoreply.html
# WAFFLES_DRY_RUN: "true" # Uncomment to log actions but not send email
# WAFFLES_DEBUG: "true" # Uncomment to increase log verbosity
# Set TZ to your time zone. Often same as the contents of /etc/timezone.
TZ: PST8PDT
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- path/to/your/reply/content.html:/autoreply.html:ro
secrets:
- jmap_api_token
```

Start the container by running:

```console
docker-compose up -d
```

Debugging information can be viewed in the container log:

```console
docker-compose logs -f
```

## Installation from PyPI

[wafflesbot is available on PyPI][pypi]:

```console
pip install wafflesbot
```

## Usage

wafflesbot provides the `waffles` command, which can either:
1. Run as a service and reply to emails received via [JMAP server
events][jmap-event-source] (the default)
2. Run as a script to examine recent emails (such as interactively or via a
cronjob)

Environment variables:
* `JMAP_HOST`: JMAP server hostname
* `JMAP_API_TOKEN`: JMAP account API token

Required arguments:
* `-m/--mailbox`: Name of the folder to process
* `-r/--reply-content`: Path to file with an HTML reply message

Optional arguments:
* `-d/--debug`: Enable debug logging
* `-l/--limit`: Maximum number of emails replies to send (only valid with
`-s/--script`)
* `-n/--days`: Only process email received this many days ago or newer (only
valid with `-s/--script`)
* `-p/--pretend`: Print messages to standard output instead of sending email
* `-s/--script`: Set to run as a script instead of an event-driven service

### Invocation examples

Listen for new emails, and reply to unreplied messages that appear in the
"Recruiters" folder with the message in `my-reply.html`:

```py
JMAP_HOST=jmap.example.com \
JMAP_API_TOKEN=ness__pk_fire \
waffles \
--mailbox "Recruiters" \
--reply-content my-reply.html
```

Run as a script and reply to unreplied messages in the "Recruiters" folder with
the message in `my-reply.html`:

```py
JMAP_HOST=jmap.example.com \
JMAP_API_TOKEN=ness__pk_fire \
waffles \
--script \
--mailbox "Recruiters" \
--reply-content my-reply.html
```

## Development

### [Poetry][poetry] installation

Via [`pipx`][pipx]:

```console
pip install pipx
pipx install poetry
pipx inject poetry poetry-dynamic-versioning poetry-pre-commit-plugin
```

Via `pip`:

```console
pip install poetry
poetry self add poetry-dynamic-versioning poetry-pre-commit-plugin
```

### Development tasks

* Setup: `poetry install`
* Run static checks: `poetry run poe lint` or
`poetry run pre-commit run --all-files`
* Run static checks and tests: `poetry run poe test`
