Currently we're using sendgrid in our production, dev and test environments.
Is it possible to have sendgrid only allow emails to be sent to users on a whitelist?
The use case is we have real user email addresses in our dev env and we dont want to accidently have them receive emails. Is it possible to block everything except our dev email addresses?

I have an express app running inside an electron app using http on port 6001 and used ngrok to connect to that port. My question is how can I set the redirect url in Slack's dashboard without knowing the first part of the url i.e https://xxxx.ngrok.io. Also, I'm planning to distribute my electron app, what happens when multiple users run the application?
If you are running your Express App locally and exposing that to Slack using ngrok, then it must be for development only.
Using the ngrok free version, your endpoint will keep on changing every time you restart your desktop.
For development -> Update the Slack webhook with the new ngrok URL everytime it changes.
For production -> Deploy your Express app to a cloud based runtime and then expose that IP address as the URL for the Slack webhook
I just started an ionic app and dev spins up http:localhost:8081. I will be hitting an api that needs to whitelist the apps url. What will that be? https:localhost:8081?
You most likely need to whitelist the IP adress of the app. Which is going to change depending on the phone it is installed on.
For your usecase you most likely want to have a server communicating with both the app and api so you can use it's IP address to whitelist.
We have a simple hangouts bot that has been working fine for several months. Starting yesterday 1 or 2 users indicated that they were receiving an error message when talking to the bot indicating that: 'Your administrator prevented you from talking to bots in direct messages'. Over the past 24-hours more and more people reported that the issue started happening to them until it was everyone. When it happened to me earlier today I messaged the bot 2 times about 5-minutes apart, it worked the first time then the second time I got the administrator prevented message.
I tested the #meet and #drive bot's and they both still appear to work.
I have confirmed that none of the settings on the bot have changed, most importantly that the 'Bot works in direct messages' option is still checked.
I have talked to our IT administrator who says that no settings have changed in our GSuite setup.
Looking through the documentation I can't find any mention of an issue or setting that would cause the above error. Is anyone aware of what could be causing the above.
Google Support statement
(...) if your domain currently applies a whitelist to restrict the set of G Suite Marketplace apps that users can install, existing internal bots may stop working. In order to appear and continue to function for users, the developers of these bots need to publish the bots to the domain as you can see on link. (...)
Solution
As said Jordansan this issue is related to the domain administration and to security enhancements. You may still use up to 5 email addresses to do your tests. Once you want your bot public, you will need to list it on the G Suite Marketplace.
To do so follow this guide Listing your bot on G Suite Marketplace. An extract is provided below :
G Suite Marketplace publication steps
This section tells you the specific steps you need to perform to publish your bot on G Suite Marketplace. The general steps are:
Create an OAuth client ID, if your project doesn't already have one.
Add the G Suite Marketplace SDK to your project and populate its configuration tab.
Populate the SDK's publish tab and submit.
The detailed steps for each of these are described in the following paragraphs.
For security reasons most organizations have (and should have) whitelisting enabled, which will prevent non white-listed marketplace apps to be enabled within the organization.
To deploy your bot you'll need to contact your GCP responsible and ask him to whitelist your bot.
Temporary solutions
What you can do is make the bot accessible to everyone in your organization. Assuming that the bot can be published.
If the bot shouldn't be public, you may implement your own connector to filter incoming queries and allow only selected email addresses. However the bot will still appear to everyone on the search screen, and everyone will be able to message it.
It's possible that your domain makes use of a new feature which requires bots to be whitelisted. This was introduced in a recent update. Previously, the admin setting was binary in that you could allow either all bots or none. Now any second party bots must be whitelisted if the administrator settings for that domain requires whitelisting.

I opened a ticket here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/137266964
Edit: We got this working by following the steps listed here: https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/gsm-list and our GSuite admin white-listed the Bot for internal use. This eliminates the 5 user limitation and keep the current security settings in place for all other bots & GSuite Applications
Is it possible to send an email through react-native without node.js or any back-end?
I want to send an email to notify the admin when user registered (on firebase)...
Without a server to make the requests to send mail you cannot. You can use a cloud service or function to do this. I'm sure one is available with firebase. If not, I have previously used mailgun: https://www.mailgun.com/
I'm using Selenium WebDriver to test the web mail I've develop in one of my websites.
How can I set up a test script that when I send an email from the web mail to Gmail, Gmail will automatically reply to that email? I'm still fairly new using Java language.
I don't think setting up a selenium script to send a reply from gmail is the way to go. Since you are testing only your own application, you should refrain from creating scripts to automate replies from gmail as they further add a level of complexity and extra effort.
There are better ways to do what you want and I believe "Canned Responses" in gmail labs can be your savior.
Check out this link for more information on it :
Auto Responder to specific email addresses
You can also connect to the gmail address via POP3 in your java code and check for the email from your web mail and respond to that via java code itself. However, I think, the above solution (Canned Responses) would be the cleanest and the best approach.
