Evernote Developers Support Inquiry: Transfer subscription to Sandbox account - evernote

I'd like to transfer my subscription to my sandbox account so I can run my own tools using the API. I need to have this subscription transferred to my sandbox account. (I had this done last year, and I think I just have to ask for it each year.)
Asking a question on SO seems like the wrong way to file a support ticket, but this is what I was instructed to do.

Why don't you run your tool on your production account?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by transferring your subscription to your sandbox account. If you want to upgrade your account on sandbox for some testing purpose, here's what you should do: http://dev.evernote.com/support/faq.php#sandboxpremium

Need clarity on how pricing works on Smooch Sandbox

I have created a free trial account on smooch that gives me access to their WeChat API in the sandbox. However, it is still not clear to me what happens after the 14 day trial period is over. Will I be forced to upgrade to a paid plan even for using the sandbox or is the sandbox always free. Note: My intended use is to develop and test our app against their API and hence I will always need API access in their sandbox. Our production usage will be on a different account with the relevant paid plan. Will really appreciate someone sharing their knowledge around how it works.
The trial period applies only to usage of the Smooch Public REST API and Webhooks, so if you intend to receive and reply to messages programmatically, then the trial will not be sufficient for testing or development beyond the 14 day period. If you intend to receive and respond to messages using one of the built-in Business System integrations like Slack or Zendesk, you can continue to use those integrations after the trial period expires.
If you have a paid account already, you could also create a separate Smooch App for testing under that same account and take advantage of the API access afforded by your plan.

Sending pictures from photobooth to phone via WeChat

My boss has charged me with the task of finding how to integrate WeChat into our photobooth's "Total Share" section.
Our photobooths work under windows and their software is a mix of Java and a PHP web API installed locally, that then connects to a web service.
The intention is to give the user the option to, when their picture is done, get a copy of it via WeChat (I guess that by introducing it's phone number)
Through my searches I've found a WeChat JS-SDK, but that seems to connect sites you are watching on your phone with your actual WeChat app so it doesn't work in my case.
The other source I have found is the Official Account Admin Platform, but I'm not really sure if this would allow me to do what I need. As far as I've seen, the Official Account can send messages in response to a trigger (that would work for me, send a message when the user clicks on the button), but it also seems to need that they "subscribe" (in a way) to the Official Account, and secondly I'm not sure how can this be automatized.
Especial mention:
I'm a junior developer, so API integration is a bridge I haven't crossed yet, and as such I'm utterly lost.
Is it possible to get the functionality I require? If so, what are the steps to do it?
You don't need to make a fully fleshed tutorial to write an answer, just knowing in what direction should I go, and maybe some possible caveats that more experienced developers may be able to foresee, would be great.
Thanks.

Anonymous meeting in Skype for Businnes

Help please solve the following problem. I can not
sign in anonymously into the meeting using the Skype Web SDK.
On the following site it doesn't work: https://ucwa.skype.com/websdk
In the official example
everything works (signin, signout, chat, conference), except, of course, anonymous meeting.
I had a question: does this service at all, and if someone did it, answer, please.
No, you cannot pragmatically manipulate Skype without an authenticated user. Anonymous users may join your Skype meeting (if your configuration allows for it) but they do so using a publicly available Skype client (native or web).
First of all, the sample you are looking at is for Skype for Business Online. Its not meant to work with onprem. Its indeed not working anymore.
You can make use of this repo: https://github.com/OfficeDev/skype-docs/tree/master/Skype/Trusted-Application-API/samples/AnonMeetingJoinSamples and set up your own UCAP cloud application. Follow all the steps in the readMe and and on this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/trusted-application-api/docs/anonymousmeetingjoin
If you want further information for Skype for Business check out this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/ucwa/ucwa2_0generalreference

Sandbox access in Australia

Since the developer site update the other day, I have lost access to the sandbox.
I was literally using it an hour before the update.
I tried to retrieve my password, but my account is no longer found.
I tried to set up a new account, and it's telling me that I need to have a US registered business in order to sign up.
So, my question is, what does the rest of the world do when they need to test their site?
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Ok, Got it. PayPay support have said to create a dummy account. In other words, lie about having an American business. Once you've done that, go to applications, then sandbox accounts, and import the data using your old sandbox credentials!
I have the same problem. It appears to be even worse than stated. They appear to have 'integrated' the Sandbox login with PayPal account logins. So you have to have a live PayPal account. In other words developers must also be CFOs in their organizations, or else must be using PayPal as a means of exchange themselves, otherwise they don't exist.
Truly incredible.
Not to mention having cut off arbitrary numbers of existing developers in mid-stream.

How do I send Issues into BitBucket by email?

I Love BitBucket.org
But is there a way to configure BitBucket to accept email and automatically put them into my 'New' Issue list in the issue tracker?
BitBucket sends out email notifications, but I want something the other way around. I don't want to have to go in and create an issue manually each time someone emails me about a problem. I want to forward those emails to Bitbucket so problems to go directly into the issue tracker via E-Mail.
And: Similarly, can you configure Bitbucket so that it listens for code check-ins and it auto-magically set issues to complete/fixed etc.?
Is there a way?
I don't think there is a way to submit issues via email and now that Atlassian has bought Bitbucket I doubt that they will spend much time improving or enhancing the issue tracking inside Bitbucket as their main product (JIRA) is an very comprehensive issue tracker.
I would sooner expect some sort of integration of the two and a phase out of the current issue tracker. But then we will probably have to pay :-(
Re adding emails:
I want to forward those emails to Bitbucket so problems to go directly into the issue tracker via E-Mail.
Yes you can do this - you need to have an endpoint that receives emails, so for example sendgrid allows this (see Sendgrid webhooks docs), and will call a webhook on your server whenever an email comes in. You then need a bit of glue code on the server to post that issue to bitbucket via the bitbucket API (see the bitbucket api docs). So there are two parts to doing this, and you will need to write some code I think.
I'm currently working on a tool to do just this at Project Page. If anyone would like to try it out let me know. I'm also planning to let it interrogate the user to get a bit more detail about things like priority and urls associated with the problem.
Re the second part of your question:
Similarly, can you configure Bitbucket so that it listens for code check-ins and it auto-magically set issues to complete/fixed etc.?
Yes you can close issues automatically - just use the text fixes #n, so for example:
fixes #123
in the commit message, where 123 is the number of the issue you want to close.
There is a API to create issue http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BBDEV/Issues.
And a custom script which may or could be able to fetch email and post to issue tracker.
Yes, it's possible. Bitbucket has a robust REST API that lets you do it at least two ways:
Option 1: 3rd Party Service
Use an online API automation service like
Zapier or
Integromat
(Click those links for specific email/Bitbucket integration examples.)
You have a couple of options with this approach. With Zapier, for example, you can have a dedicated Issue-only Gmail address, and any email sent to it creates a new Issues ticket. OR you can automatically create Issues just by assigning a specific label to an email in an existing Gmail account.
Oddly, IFTTT doesn't currently offer Bitbucket integration.
Option 2: Write Your Own Server Script
If you have server access, you can configure your Message Transfer Agent to send certain emails to a PHP script that will create a Bitbucket Issue.
The script will need to use the Bitbucket API repositories > {username} > {repo_slug} > issues > POST method.
A great how-to article for this approach is Process Incoming Mail with PHP Script with Exim.
