I am trying to update my Gmail vacation responder by using Gmail.users.settings.updateVacation
. I am passing a VacationSettings
like so:
{
"restrictToContacts": false,
"responseBodyHtml": "test",
"responseSubject": "Out Of Office",
"enableAutoReply": true,
"restrictToDomain": false,
"startTime": 1638933300000,
"endTime": 1638936900000
}
startTime
and endTime
are epoch ms
and translate to:
| key | value | date |
|-----------|---------------|--------------------------|
| startTime | 1638933300000 | 2021-12-07 @ 10:15:00 PM |
| endTime | 1638936900000 | 2021-12-07 @ 11:15:00 PM |
But, in Gmail, it's setting the end date to 2021-12-06
:
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug/issue?
Contrary to Google's documentation, or what you see on the Gmail browser UI, you can schedule the vacation responder to turn on or off at the hour/minute/second. The Gmail browser UI may show the wrong date, but it will turn on and off as expected.
So, for example, setting endTime
to be a few minutes from now, will turn the vacation responder off at that time, even though the Gmail browser UI doesn't indicate that.
