I have tried to use the search function, but did not find a solution for my problem, or I do not understand enough yet.
I have written a script for google forms, that sends an automatic email to two email addresses, when an user submits the form. I have build in some information that should show in the email subject and puts the input from the forms into the email, with some simple HTML formatting.
My problem is, that the emails always have my Email address as the sender (the account I used for creating the form)
I would like to have the senders email, the one that is submitting the form.
How is that possible?
Here is the code:
function sendFormByEmail(e)
{
// Sent to Email address
var email1 = "123#abc.com";
var email2 = "345#abc.com";
// Variables
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headers = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
var txt = "";
var subject = "Example text: ";
// Var e = form input as array.
// Loop through the array.
for(var i in headers){
txt += "<b>" + headers[i] + '</b>' + ': '+
e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString() + '<br><br>';
}
// Insert variables from the spreadsheet into the subject.
// Create email subject
subject += "Example text " + e.namedValues[headers[2]].toString();
// Send the email
MailApp.sendEmail(email1, subject, "", {htmlBody:txt});
MailApp.sendEmail(email2, subject, "", {htmlBody:txt});
}
It is not possible to send the mail as the user who submitted the form as the script is running from the user account and the mailapp will send the mail from that account only. you can change the display name according to the user name who submiited the form by the parameter name. Also you can change the email to noreply#domainName.com by adding the parameter noReply in mailApp syntax. However you cannot change it to the user who submitted the form
You can refer this documentation for the above parameters : https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/mail/mail-app
Hope this could help
I have a GAS script that sends automated emails and would like to include a couple of emojis. I've tried using shortcodes and copying/pasting, but nothing so far seems to have worked. Just wanted to see if there was anything I was missing.
Edit: Here's the code:
var title = rowData.publicationTitle;
var journal = rowData.journalTitle;
var url = rowData.publicationUrl;
//Emoji goes here in the body:
var body = "Hi " + firstName + "!<br><br>I noticed your article <a href='" + url + "'>“" + title + "”</a> was recently published in <i>" + journal + "</i>. Congratulations! This is just a friendly reminder to please upload your original document and a PDF version to our publications app when you have time.<br><br>To upload your publication, you can <a href='http://support.cpes.vt.edu/publishing'>click here</a>.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>🤖 CB<br><br><hr style='background-color: #d8d8d8; border: 0 none; color: #d8d8d8; height: 1px;'><span style='font-size:12px'><b>CPES Publications Reminders</b> | <a href='mailto:leshutt#vt.edu' style='text-decoration:none'>Feedback</a> | <a href='http://support.cpes.vt.edu/publishing' style='text-decoration:none;'>Publication uploads</a></span>";
var emailSubject = "Just a reminder to upload your article!";
var me = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
var aliases = GmailApp.getAliases();
if (emailStatus == "Pending" && emailData !== "No emails found") {
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, emailSubject, body, {
from: aliases[2],
name: "CPES Bot",
htmlBody: body
});
}
I've noticed that sending a star ("⭐") works, but the normal smiley ("😊") shows up as a black-and-white, Unicode-esque icon and everything else I've tried are question marks. Can you only use emojis up to a certain Unicode release?
You want to send an email with HTML body including the emoji. If my understanding is correct, how about this modification?
About GmailApp and MailApp :
Unfortunately, GmailApp cannot use the recent emoji characters. At GmailApp
emoji less than Unicode 5.2 can be used for this situation.
emoji more than Unicode 6.0 can NOT be used for this situation.
MailApp can use all versions of emoji.
"⭐" is Unicode 5.1. But "😊" is Unicode 6.0. By this, in your script using GmailApp, you can see the former, but you cannot see the latter. At a sample script of Michele Pisani, the latter is sent using MailApp. So the character is not broken. "🤖" is Unicode 8.0.
Modification points :
So in the case of your script, the modification points are as follows.
Use MailApp instead of GmailApp.
OR
Use Gmail API.
From your comments to Michele Pisani, I worry about that MailApp might not work for your situation. So I would like to also propose the method using Gmail API.
1. Modified your script
Please modify as follows.
From :
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, emailSubject, body, {
To :
MailApp.sendEmail(email, emailSubject, body, {
2. Using Gmail API
In order to use this, please enable Gmail API at Advanced Google Services and API console as follows.
Enable Gmail API v1 at Advanced Google Services
On script editor
Resources -> Advanced Google Services
Turn on Gmail API v1
Enable Gmail API at API console
On script editor
Resources -> Cloud Platform project
View API console
At Getting started, click Enable APIs and get credentials like keys.
At left side, click Library.
At Search for APIs & services, input "Gmail". And click Gmail API.
Click Enable button.
If API has already been enabled, please don't turn off.
If now you are opening the script editor with the script for using Gmail API, you can enable Gmail API for the project by accessing this URL https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com/overview
Sample script :
function convert(email, aliase, emailSubject, body) {
body = Utilities.base64Encode(body, Utilities.Charset.UTF_8);
var boundary = "boundaryboundary";
var mailData = [
"MIME-Version: 1.0",
"To: " + email,
"From: CPES Bot <" + aliase + ">",
"Subject: " + emailSubject,
"Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=" + boundary,
"",
"--" + boundary,
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8",
"",
body,
"",
"--" + boundary,
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8",
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64",
"",
body,
"",
"--" + boundary,
].join("\r\n");
return Utilities.base64EncodeWebSafe(mailData);
}
function myFunction() {
// Please declare email and firstName.
var title = rowData.publicationTitle;
var journal = rowData.journalTitle;
var url = rowData.publicationUrl;
//Emoji goes here in the body:
var body = "Hi " + firstName + "!<br><br>I noticed your article <a href='" + url + "'>“" + title + "”</a> was recently published in <i>" + journal + "</i>. Congratulations!

var emailSubject = "Just a reminder to upload your article!";
var me = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
var aliases = GmailApp.getAliases();
if (emailStatus == "Pending" && emailData !== "No emails found"){
// Added script
var raw = convert(email, aliases[2], emailSubject, body);
Gmail.Users.Messages.send({raw: raw}, "me");
}
}
Note :
When you use this sample, Please declare email and firstName.
Please run myFunction().

If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
I tried to copy the emoji (https://www.emojicopy.com/) and paste it directly into the script editor:
and after sending the email I received it in my mailbox:
Edit:
Be careful that some emoji are one character length (like the star) but other are 2 characters (like the smile) for those with 2 characters you can think of writing immediately after the smile but instead you are writing inside the smile so you break it therefore turns in question mark.
If you try to run this code, you will see that the first has length 2 and the second one has length 1:
If you try to move the pointer (in the apps script editor) on those 2 emoticons, from before to after the emoticon, you will see that in the case of the star just one step but for the smile you need 2 steps.
The easiest complete answer that also works with SMS recipients is this:
function testNewMail() {
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: "yourphonenumbergoeshere#mymetropcs.com",
subject: "Logos",
htmlBody: "😊 hi todd happy day"
});
}
Use code points (💎) in the value of your cell and send your message as HTML:
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var value = sheet.getRange("A1").getValue();
GmailApp.sendEmail(
"recipient#example.com",
"subject",
"",
{
from: "sender#example.com",
htmlBody: value
}
);
I get no error but the mail-to will not be showed ! it stays empty
public void Send_Mail(View view) {
String txt_context = "My comment about the App : \n The App is good but does not support v3";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("mailto:"));
intent.setType("message/rfc822"); //
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,"receiver#gmail.com"); // **this will not displayed** """
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,"Comment about the APP");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,txt_context);
startActivity(intent);
I know this post is old but I encountered the same issue and I found the solution (in the official documentation):
As explained, Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL is:
A String[] holding e-mail addresses that should be delivered to.
So to fix your issue, instead of:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,"receiver#gmail.com");
do:
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{"receiver#gmail.com"});
This is how you correctly send an email via an intent. The URI arguments are required if not you will have problems getting Gmail to receive your emails.
Intent send = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String uriText = "mailto:" + Uri.encode("email#gmail.com") +
"?subject=" + Uri.encode("the subject") +
"&body=" + Uri.encode("the body of the message");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
send.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(send, "Send mail..."));
The disadvantage of doing it your way is that it gives gmail issues retrieving the address to send the mail to, and so many apps support message/rfc822so your user can get drowned in different clients. I advice you use
Intent sendMail = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
String uriText = "mailto:" + Uri.encode("example#gmail.com") +
"?subject=" + Uri.encode("subject") +
"&body=" + Uri.encode("body);
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriText);
sendMail.setData(uri);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendMail, "Choose a client"));
as this is a bit more specific than specifying with intent.setType("message/rfc822"); and solves the issue with gmail. Good Luck.
For kotlin
The emial must be an arrayOf, nos just a string.
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, arrayOf("receiber#gmail.com"))
Working on sending the account verification email in mvc. I created a format for email body such as below and kept in html file inside solution called "EmailFormat.html".

I have a c# class handling email send.I get the above mentioned html file as email body and try to replace the [Name] and [url] with actual runtime paramaters.
string name = myclass.FirstName + " " + myclass.LastName;
using (Stream stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("abc." + "EmailFormat.html"))
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
body = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
body.Replace("[Name]", name);
string url = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("http://localhost/Controller/Method/uniqueid")
body.Replace("[url]",url);
emailutility.send();//ignore this send code.
I receive email just fine but the problem is the on clicking "click here for verification", it takes me to %5Burl%5D instead of actual url.
Please help.

My Bad. it was unable to update the body after body.Replace("[Name]", name);
I changed it to as follows :-
body = body.Replace("[Name]", name);
body = body.Replace("[url]",url);
Resolved!!!!
What's the function for sending e-mails from WP7? I'm trying to set up a button to send feedback e-mail, but I can't find the right function.
Thanks,
Zain
Found it. You need to use the EmailComposeTask class. Here's a sample:
using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;
...
void SendEmail(){
EmailComposeTask email = new EmailComposeTask();
email.To = "receiver#stuff.com";
email.Subject = "hey";
email.Body = "Wazaaaaaaaaaaap! How you doin?";
email.Show();
}
