Sending Email populated by google sheets - email

Question

Our Engineering Department has a request form on Google that our company uses to notify us of projects and other issues that need attending. The requests are assigned a project lead in our weekly meeting. I'm trying to write a script that will populate an email using data from the spreadsheet the form is driving to notify both the requester and the project lead so that they can contact each other directly instead of email everyone in the Engineering Group for updates. I tried splicing two different codes to achieve this as I was unable to find code I could easily adapt to fit our goal. I have listed the links below to the codes I used to write what I have.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/sending_emails
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ToKh2JLQYs
The code tells me "Invalid email:" and highlights MailApp.sendEmail, even with real email addresses. Can anyone help? I haven't written any code since high school web design. We are considering using this form of notification in a few of our other departments as well. Assuming I get this version to work.
function SendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; //First row of data to process
var numRows = 2; //Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:L3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 12)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var Data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var row = data[i];
var requestername = row[1]; // Second column
var emailAddr = row[2]; // Third column
var requestspecifics = row[5]; // Sixth column
var projectlead = row[6]; // Seventh column
var projectleademail = ""; // Tenth Column
else if (projectlead == "Tom Smith") {projectleademail = "tom#fakeemail.com";}
else if (projectlead == "Dick Smith") {projectleademail = "dick#fakeemail.com";}
else if (projectlead == "Harry Smith") {projectleademail = "harry#fakeemail.com";}
else if (projectlead == "none") {projectleademail = null;}
var emailSent = row[12]; // Last column
if (emailSent !=EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var myheader = "Minor Engineering Projects Requests";
MailApp.sendEmail({
to:emailAddr,
subject:myheader
body:requestername + ", \n\n + requestspecifics + " \n\nThe request you
submitted, listed above, has been assigned to " + projectlead + ". \nPlease
contact this person with any concerns. \n\nThank You, \n\nEngineering",
cc:projectlead]);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i,12).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}

I don't know if the code above was an exact copy/paste of your actual script but if it was it has a lot of syntax errors that I (hopefully) corrected, please give it a try, it should work if the structure of your spreadsheet is right...
function SendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; //First row of data to process
var numRows = 2; //Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:L3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 12)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var Data = dataRange.getValues();
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
var row = data[i];
var requestername = row[1]; // Second column
var emailAddr = row[2]; // Third column
var requestspecifics = row[5]; // Sixth column
var projectlead = row[6]; // Seventh column
var projectleademail = ""; // Tenth Column
if (projectlead == "Tom Smith") {projectleademail = "tom#fakeemail.com";}
else if (projectlead == "Dick Smith") {projectleademail = "dick#fakeemail.com";}
else if (projectlead == "Harry Smith") {projectleademail = "harry#fakeemail.com";}
else if (projectlead == "none") {projectleademail = null;}
var emailSent = row[12]; // Last column
if (emailSent !="EMAIL_SENT") { // Prevents sending duplicates
var myheader = "Minor Engineering Projects Requests";
MailApp.sendEmail({
to:emailAddr,
subject:myheader,
body:requestername + ", \n\n" + requestspecifics + " \n\nThe request you"+
"submitted, listed above, has been assigned to " + projectlead +
". \nPlease contact this person with any concerns. \n\nThank You, \n\nEngineering",
cc:projectlead});
sheet.getRange(startRow + i,12).setValue("EMAIL_SENT");
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
