I have two columns on my Google Sheet [Reminder] and [Reminder Date].
Reminder contains an email address to send a reminder to and the email should send out if Reminder Date is Today.
I've figured out the part of the code to send an email, that is not the problem. Here is what I have so far
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
ss.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Projects'), true);
var datesrg=ss.getRangeByName("Reminder Date");
var emailrg=ss.getRangeByName("Reminder");
var rdates=datesrg.getValues();
var remail=emailrg.getValues();
//in the for loop
var message = {
to: //Email,
subject: "Project Reminder",
body: "Hello, \n\nYou are receiving this email because you set a reminder for this project today.\n\nThank you,\n",
name: "Bot",
MailApp.sendEmail(message);
What I have in mind is a for loop that compares each date in rdates to today, and if it matches, gets the index value from rdates, fetches the corresponding index value for remail and then sets that as the email address for the email to be sent out to.
I'm struggling to use forEach and how to set the date to today for comparison. Help would be much appreciated.
It wasn't clear to me what you were attempting to do with the name. But here's the loop for comparing dates with todays date
function myfunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getSheetByName("Projects")
var datesrg = ss.getRangeByName("Reminder Date");
var emailrg = ss.getRangeByName("Reminder");
var rdates = datesrg.getValues().flat();
var remail = emailrg.getValues().flat();
const dt = new Date();
const tdv = new Date(dt.getFullYear(), dt.getMonth(), dt.getDate()).valueOf();
rdates.forEach((d, i) => {
if (new Date(e).valueOf() >= tdv) {
MailApp.sendEmail(remail[i], "Project Reminder", "Hello, \n\nYou are receiving this email because you set a reminder for this project today.\n\nThank you,\n")
};
});
}
Assuming that datesrg has two columns, try this:
var dates = datesrg.getValues();
dates.forEach( row => {
if(row[0].getTime() === row[1].getTime()){
// put here what should be done when the condition is true
}
});

This is the extended version of my previous question.
I want to send email once in a week to the recipients based on the status column.
Sheet Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GC59976VwB2qC-LEO2sH3o2xJaMeXfXLKdfOjRAQoiI/edit#gid=1546237372
The previous code is attached in the sheet.
From the sheet, When the Status column will be new and ongoing, a table will be generated with column Title, Link and due date and send a single email to the recipients even they are repeated.
In the sheet, For resource Anushka, Status New appeared twice and Ongoing once. The table will be like-
Anushka || New || 10/25/2022
Anushka || New || 10/25/2022
Anushka || Ongoing || 10/25/2022
And after creating it, it will send single email to each recipients though they have appeared several times.
I have done it for getting multiple emails whatever the status is with the help of another commenter from stackflow but I want to modify it and change it. The code for this one is a bit longer as I have two helper gs file, html table code and the main one. That's why I am not writing all the codes here. But in the sheet from the extension, one can see my code.
If anyone give me suggestions how to change or modify the logic, it will be appreciated.
Code
function macro(){
// get range of cell with data from A1 to any cell near having value (call data region)
var table = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet3").getRange("A1").getDataRegion();
var header=table.getValues()
var resource=header[0][1]
var status_r=header[0][3]
var due_date_r=header[0][5]
var link_r=header[0][10]
// create custom table filtered by the column having header "State" where the value match "New"
var filterTable = new TableWithHeaderHelper(table)
.getTableWhereColumn("Status").matchValueRegex(/(New)/);
// for each row matching the criteria
for(var i=0; i< filterTable.length() ; i++){
// Get cell range value at column Mail
var mail = filterTable.getWithinColumn("Email").cellAtRow(i).getValue();
// Any other value of column Target Value
var resource_col = filterTable.getWithinColumn("Resource").cellAtRow(i).getValue();
var status_col = filterTable.getWithinColumn("Status").cellAtRow(i).getValue();
var due_date_col = filterTable.getWithinColumn("Due Date").cellAtRow(i).getValue();
var link_col = filterTable.getWithinColumn("Link").cellAtRow(i).getValue();
var new_data=[[resource_col,status_col,due_date_col,link_col]]
var htmltemplate=HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("email")
htmltemplate.resource=resource
htmltemplate.status_r=status_r
htmltemplate.due_date_r=due_date_r
htmltemplate.link_r=link_r
htmltemplate.new_data=new_data
var htmlformail=htmltemplate.evaluate().getContent()
var subjectMail = "Automation Support Services Actions Items";
var dt1 = new Date()
var dt2 = due_date_col
// get milliseconds
var t1 = dt1.getTime()
var t2 = dt2.getTime()
var diffInDays = Math.floor((t1-t2)/(24*3600*1000));
// 24*3600*1000 is milliseconds in a day
console.log(diffInDays);
// Send email
MailApp.sendEmail({
to:mail ,
subject: subjectMail,
htmlBody:htmlformail,
});
}
}```
2 loops can make the job.
// get range of cell with data from A1 to any cell near having value (call data region)
var table = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet3").getRange("A1").getDataRegion();
// init html header data
var header=table.getValues()
var resource=header[0][1]
var status_r=header[0][3]
var due_date_r=header[0][5]
var link_r=header[0][10]
var listOfEmails = [];
var tableWithHeader = new TableWithHeaderHelper(table)
// get all email
for(var i=0; i< tableWithHeader.length() ; i++){
var mail = tableWithHeader.getWithinColumn("Email").cellAtRow(i).getValue();
listOfEmails.push(mail)
}
// filter all email to get unique liste of email
var uniqueMailList = listOfEmails.filter((c, index) => {
return listOfEmails.indexOf(c) === index;
});
for(var i=0; i< uniqueMailList.length; i++){
// get mail of target i
var mail = uniqueMailList[i]
// filter table using mail of target i and status
var mailTable = new TableWithHeaderHelper(table)
.getTableWhereColumn("Status").matchValueRegex(/(New)/)
.getTableWhereColumn("Email").matchValue(mail);
// initialise html template
var htmltemplate=HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("email")
htmltemplate.resource=resource
htmltemplate.status_r=status_r
htmltemplate.due_date_r=due_date_r
htmltemplate.link_r=link_r
var new_data = []
var htmlformail
// loop into the filtered table of target i only
for(var j=0; j< mailTable.length() ; j++){
// Any other value of column Target Value
var resource_col = mailTable.getWithinColumn("Resource").cellAtRow(j).getValue();
var status_col = mailTable.getWithinColumn("Status").cellAtRow(j).getValue();
var due_date_col = mailTable.getWithinColumn("Due Date").cellAtRow(j).getValue();
var link_col = mailTable.getWithinColumn("Link").cellAtRow(j).getValue();
new_data.push([resource_col,status_col,due_date_col,link_col])
}
htmltemplate.new_data=new_data
htmlformail=htmltemplate.evaluate().getContent()
var subjectMail = "Automation Support Services Actions Items";
var dt1 = new Date()
var dt2 = due_date_col
// get milliseconds
var t1 = dt1.getTime()
var t2 = dt2.getTime()
var diffInDays = Math.floor((t1-t2)/(24*3600*1000));
// 24*3600*1000 is milliseconds in a day
console.log(diffInDays);
// Send email
MailApp.sendEmail({
to:mail ,
subject: subjectMail,
htmlBody:htmlformail,
});
}
I'm not confident on the new_data.push([resource_col,status_col,due_date_col,link_col]), it's seems to be corect but I have no no way to verify that
Anyway thanks for using the utils script at https://github.com/SolannP/UtilsAppSsript, glad to see it help 👍
I would like to create a list of emails, which are listed in the column of a sheets.
how can I do this?
example:
column A
email 1
email 2
email 3
mailling = column A
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: mailling,
subject: "test",
body: "Test message",
if your emails are in column A starting from row 2:
function getEmails() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
const sh = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
const emails = sh.getRange(2,1,sh.getLastRow() - 1, 1).getValues().flat();
return emails.join(',');
}
function sendEmails() {
MailApp.sendEmail({to: getEmails(),subject: "test",body: "Test message"});
}
I think you should check the documentation of the class like suggested in the comments, it has really good features that can improve the way you email. Anyway, here is an example that can help you.
function sendMail() {
//Each numer means the column of the sheets thats going to grab the value
var first = 0;
var second = 1;
var third = 2;
//In the Column D must have the emails
var fourth =3;
//Specifies the HTML document that going to give the structure of the email
var emailTemp = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("email");
//Tells wich is the sheet to take information
//in this case the sheets name is "Data Base"
var ws = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Data Base");
//Gives the range of the columns that the information is going to be
var data = ws.getRange("A1:E" + ws.getLastRow()).getValues();
//This is an optional filter in the Column F so you can filter wich rows to run
data = data.filter(function(r){ return r[5] == true });
//To use the variables in between the HTML file your going to use the value after "emailTemp." as <?= fr ?>
data.forEach(function(row){
emailTemp.fr = row[first];
emailTemp.se = row[second];
emailTemp.th = row[third];
var htmlMessage = emailTemp.evaluate().getContent();
GmailApp.sendEmail(row[fourth], "HEEERE GOES THE SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL", "Your email doesn't support HTML.", {name: "Email", htmlBody: htmlMessage})
});
Here I used a html template to send emails with variables extracted from other columns. You can check out this github
I have been trying to retrofit an old code I have used to send emails before to send an email when the formula solution in a cell equals today's date in another cell.
Here is my code:
function sendtest(e) {
var ss = e.source;
var s = ss.getSheetByName("Test");
var r = e.range;
// Below is the line that selects what column to use for the send date
var actionCol = 2;
var colIndex = r.getColumnIndex();
// Testing if statement
if (e.value == s.getRange(2, 3).getValue () && colIndex == actionCol) {
// All rows below are used to send the email
var row = r.getRowIndex();
// This takes the email addresses in column D
var userEmail = s.getRange(row, 4).getValue ();
//The subject line of the email
var subject = "Test test " + s.getRange(row, 1).getValue ();
//The structure of the body of the email
var body = "It has been two weeks since test test, " + s.getRange(row, 1).getValue ();
body +="\n\ntest test?";
body +="\n\ntest test,";
body +="\n\ntest test";
// This line sends the email
MailApp.sendEmail(userEmail,subject,body);
}
}
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to state what is going wrong. Every time I attempt to trigger this script (time based), I get an error telling me that line 3 (get sheet by name) is undefined.
I'm looking for help to send an email whenever a new row is added by a google form entry if said entry contains an email in the Email column. I'm new to Javascript, but I've pieced together some code which I plan to run off an onEdit trigger in GSheets.
My problem is that if there is no email address, the code will fail. I need to know how to wrap this in an "if/else" or maybe just a simple error handling bit would be fine, not sure.
If I go with an "if/else", I'll need to check if the email column contains a value. I don't need to check if it is a valid email; the google form already does this on submission.
Here is the code I have right now:
function MessageNotification() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName("Message Board"));
//
//extracts the values in last row and stores them into a two-dimensional
array called data
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow,3,1,8);
var data = dataRange.getValues();
//
//pull column elements into a one-dimensional array called rowData
for (i in data) {
var rowData = data[i];
var emailAddress = rowData[2];
var poster = rowData[7];
var subject = rowData[3];
var recipName = rowData[6];
var comment = rowData[4];
var replyLink = rowData[5];
//
//
var message = 'Dear ' + recipName + ',\n\n'+poster+' has posted the
following comment directed to you: '+'\n'+comment+'\n\n'+'To reply to this
comment click: '+replyLink;
var subject = subject;
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
}
thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Thank you tehhowch for the help. I'm new at this so I'll have to continue researching the link you referred to regarding iteration best practice. However I was able to get this working with a simple 'if' wrapper, which turned out to be simpler than I thought.
I did find out that form submission does not recognize an active sheet, so manually testing my code worked, while form submission did not trigger it.
After some looking, I replaced:
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
with this:
var ssID = '//insert spreadsheet id here';
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID);
This still did not work, so I had to kickstart it by deleting the trigger and putting it back in (found this info: On form submit trigger not working)
This may not be the most efficient code, but here is what I have now, and it does work:
function MessageNotification() {
var ssID = '//insert spreadsheet id here';
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ssID);
ss.setActiveSheet(ss.getSheetByName("Message Board"));
//extracts the values in last row and stores them into a two-dimensional
array called data
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(lastRow,3,1,8);
var data = dataRange.getValues();
//
//pull column elements into a one-dimensional array called rowData
for (i in data) {
var rowData = data[i];
var emailAddress = rowData[2];
var poster = rowData[7];
var subject = rowData[3];
var recipName = rowData[6];
var comment = rowData[4];
var replyLink = rowData[5];
//
//
var message = 'Dear ' + recipName + ',\n\n'+poster+' has posted the
following comment directed to you: '+'\n'+comment+'\n\n'+'To reply to this
comment click: '+replyLink;
var subject = subject;
if(emailAddress)
{
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);}
}
}
As mentioned in the question comments, you want to use the event object available to the on form submit trigger. This can be accessed from a container-bound script on either the form or its responses spreadsheet, simply by adding a parameter to the function that receives the trigger.
This object is of the form:
e: {
authMode: <enum>,
namedValues: {
'q1title': [ <q1string> ],
'q2title': [ <q2string> ],
...
},
range: <Range>,
triggerUid: <string>,
values: [<q1string>, <q2string>, ...]
}
Using this object means that accessing of the Spreadsheet, for the purposes of emailing someone based on contents of the form, is unnecessary.
function MessageNotification(e) {
if(!e) return; // No form event object was provided.
var responses = e.namedValues;
var emailQTitle = /* the title of the question that asks for the email */;
// Check that 1) this question exists in the response object, and also
// 2) it has an answer with a value that 3) is "truthy".
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Truthy
if(responses[emailQTitle] // 1
&& responses[emailQTitle].length // 2
&& responses[emailQTitle][0]) // 3
{
var emailAddress = responses[emailQTitle][0];
/* access the responses variable in a similar manner
for the other variables needed to construct the email */
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, ... );
} else {
/* There was no response to the email question. */
// You can use View->Stackdriver Logging to inspect the form response, for
// example, to make sure that it had the format or values you expected.
console.log({form_object: e, responses: responses, emailTitle: emailQTitle});
}
}
I found the following script to insert form submission values into a google spreadsheet.
function doPost(e) { // change to doPost(e) if you are recieving POST data
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ScriptProperties.getProperty('active'));
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("DATA");
var headers = sheet.getRange(1, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0]; //read headers
var headers2 = sheet.getRange(2, 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0]; //read headers
var nextRow = sheet.getLastRow(); // get next row
var cell = sheet.getRange('a1');
var col = 0;
for (i in headers2){ // loop through the headers and if a parameter name matches the header name insert the value
if (headers2[i] == "Timestamp"){
val = new Date();
} else {
val = e.parameter[headers2[i]];
}
cell.offset(nextRow, col).setValue(val);
col++;
}

var app = UiApp.createApplication(); // included this part for debugging so you can see what data is coming in
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
for( p in e.parameters){
panel.add(app.createLabel(p +" "+e.parameters[p]));
}
app.add(panel);
return app;

function setUp() {

}
Now I want to send a formatted email to two of my coworkers every time a row gets inserted. I tried to use:
var emailAddress = "email#gmail.com"; // First column
var message = "message"; // Second column
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
but it's not sending anything.. can anyone advise please?
I had the same trouble.
With the most recent version of Google Apps I had to save the script, create a new revision, and re-publish the script making sure to select the new revision. After this the new code was in effect. I wasted several hours in the belief that the script would be updated if I just saved it.
Somehow the new method saves the script elsewhere. It's almost impossible to tell what code is actually running unless you go through the process of saving a revision, and re-publishing.
