I am trying to pull a report that shows how many emails a specified group receives in a week.  I have been unsuccessful in accomplishing this through the google admin console.  Is there a way to do this through GAM?

You can't access the group's messages using API, but you can use a group member's messages using Gmail API

gam user username print messages query 'listid:group.domain.com' 


If you have vault and message history turned ON for the group, you can use that to count message too.

This is the error I am getting.  ERROR: messages is not a valid argument for "gam <users> print"

Cassie,

The command you want is:

gam user us...@domain.com print messages query 'list:gr...@domain.com newer_than:8d' countsonly


Substitute for us...@domain.com and gr...@domain.com; user must be a member of the group.


Ross

When I tried to update it to advanced gam I broke it. I'm stuck spinning in circles at the same errors.
