I'm looking for a way to use MailChimp's timewarp feature with autoresponder. It doesn't look possible via the autoresponder control panel, but I was wondering if this is possible via the MailChimp API? Has anyone tried anything similar?
S
Please see the response from MailChimp below. Hope this helps anyone else who is looking to do the same.
Thanks for emailing into support. That's a great question and I'll be
happy to provide a bit more information.
Currently Timewarp is only available for use on campaigns,
specifically Regular, Plain-text, and A/B Split campaigns. It would
not be possible to set up an autoresponder using the Timewarp feature
at the moment. Autoresponders are technically complex, and adding
Timewarp into the mix increases that complexity. Even with the API,
it's currently not possible to set the Timewarp flag to true for an
autoresponder using the campaign create function.

An Okta Admin is able to convert individual assignments to group assignments as stated in the help documentation. Is it possible to do this in a programmatic way through the Okta API? I'm not able to find any reference in the docs.
No, unfortunately there is no way to do that through API, as far as I know
I utilize Okta workflows to programmatically convert individual assignments to group assignments. You can send a POST (I use the custom API action card in Okta Workflows, but I'm sure you could post directly to the API) to /api/v1/apps/<okta app ID>/users/<okta userID> with the following body: {"scope":"GROUP"}. Hope that helps, I know I struggled to find a solution until I discovered this method.
I need to implement Slack user/channel suggestions dropdown to share something using the user's Slack token. And (AFAIK) Slack doesn't provide any search-by-name features, so the only way is to implement it ourselves.
Currently, I'm thinking of pushing all public channels (most likely, I will have to figure out how to do the same for private ones) and users' data into something like Elastic. And use Slack Events to keep it up-to-date.
Are there any best practices for this task? I'm pretty sure it's a more or less a trivial problem, and I'm not the first one who needs to implement such a solution - but surprisingly enough, I didn't find any off-shelf solutions to this problem
Have you considered using Slack's Block Kit feature? It offers both a conversations-select and a users-select dropdown menu that you can embed into messages.

For a given Google API, is there any way to dynamically check usage against any of the current limits for that API?
For example, this page https://developers.google.com/classroom/limits?hl=en shows that I can query the Classrooms API 4,000,000 times per client per day. At midday, without going to the API Console, how could I know that I've already hit 3 million queries?
I'm hoping that there's a billing or usage API that covers this, but can't see it.
Note: I'm not having any issue right now with a specific call, just anticipating that my usage will scale up significantly in the next few months, so am looking for a solution for monitoring rather than advice on not hitting the limits at all. My specific use-case is for Google Classrooms, but reading wider around this I can't see a general solution either.
Answer:
No, dynamically you can't retrieve this information.
Feature Request:
You can however let Google know that this is a feature that is important for the Google Workspace APIs to have, and that you would like to request they implement it.
The page to file a Feature Request for the Google Classroom API is here, as there is no specific component for Google Workspace APIs in general I would suggest filing it here instead.
You can use Google's Cloud Monitoring API to achieve this. This is the documentation page for APIs-
https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3
This is the documentation page for concerned metrics-

We want to start a service with Mailchimp where every subscriber will get a customized link in the email she receives. The Subscription Form will be on a wordpress website (not my decision).
There is a pool of thousand of links with a unique parameter, which we have stored on our webserver, like these examples
https://example.com/link?code=a25b1d085f3aec4b256
https://example.com/link?code=32219abb336de28a103
etc
Every code parameter should only be used once and should be kept as secret as possible. So I don't think it is a good idea to send the code from the form to mailchimp in a hidden field.
I don't know, if this is possible. Is Mailchimp even the right tool to do this?
I'm not sure, where to start the journey.
I don't think webhooks will help me here, as those are only one-way communication without a backwards channel, as far as I understand.
I checked the Mailchimp API documentation, but I might be too foolish to understand, which of the multiple options I need to use.
I found this answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53096852/476951, but I don't know, if this will suit my needs. As I understand it, this will chhange the mail template in Mailchimp UI with an API request and store it. The successive emails will all use this changed template until I change the template again. This seems not to be the correct way.
So, here are the two workflows that might be possible, but I don't know if they are.
Have a form created in Wordpress (not the embedded Mailchimp form), and create a custom form handler with admin-post.php like described here. Then use the API to send the email through the Mailchimp service with my dynamic link in it. But how. Every tuorial I found sends campaigns via the API, not individual mails to single recepients
Somehow manage Mailchimp to get the dynamic content via some sort of webhooks or the likes.
Is any of these workflows suitable to do this?
If yes, who should I set these up?
Is there anything else I might have missed?
Edit
Or do I need to use Mailchimp Transactional Email service (former called Mandrill)?
Basically, I want to use the Facebook Ads Manager Tool to estimate the number of users targeted by a particular set of targeting parameters. I know there is a published API available, but it is only usable if you are on their advertising application "whitelist." I am sure what I am asking is possible. Plus, it would be interesting to learn more about scraping.
Facebook's Ads Manager Tool is basically an AJAX UI for their ads API. In the process of creating a campaign, you can specify targeting parameters, and the page will dynamically report the number of users targeted as you modify the parameters. From what I've read on the web and here on stackOverflow, it is possible to use Firebug or a similar tool to pick apart what requests are being made by the page and to where, then mimicking these calls to get the information you want.
I'm having trouble interpreting the panels of Firebug. I think the URI I'm trying to send a request to is www.facebook.com/ajax/inventory_estimator.php, though I'm not sure how to form a call.
So, if I want to write a script or program that takes a list of words to use as keywords and returns the estimated number of users for each keyword, how could I do it?
Link to Facebook's Ads Manager Tool, Campaign Creation Page:
http://www.facebook.com/ads/create
yes using an extension like firebug to examine the HTTP requests is a good way to do this.
The Net tab is the one you want (last one).
Have you tried irobotsoft webscraper? It has a good ajax support.
