Given
Column G is having the expected return date(i.e. reminder date).
Column J is having email address stored
Column L is having return status
Need
Need to send the reminder email(email address Col J) on the reminder date(COl G) if the Column L (Return_Status) is blank.
I already have a code written, can't figure out the exact issue why it is not working.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails() {
var today = new Date().toLocaleDateString(); // Today's date, without time
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 999; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B999
//var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 999)
//var dataRange= sheet.getRange("Form Responses 1!A1:L");
var dataRange= sheet.getRange(startRow,numRows)
// 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 emailAddress = "dummy#gmail.com";
var subject = "RC Reminder # "+row[3];
var message = "Reminder for "+row[4]+" RC of vehicle"+row[3]+" handed over to "+row[5]+" against "+row[2]+" on "+row[0];
var emailSent = row[10];
var reminderDate = new Date(row[6]).toLocaleDateString();
if (reminderDate != today) // Skip this reminder if not for today
continue;
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message,{name:'Sam'});
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 11).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
In this line of code you're just getting the value of one cell
var dataRange= sheet.getRange(startRow,numRows)
getRange(row, column)
You should change it to:
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, sheet.getLastRow()-1,sheet.getLastColumn())
getRange(row, column, numRows, numColumns)
This way you will only iterate through the values that are in your sheet and you will not work through empty data. If you have several sheets in your spreadsheet try consider to work with the one you have the data, accesing to the right one like this:
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('NAME OF YOUR SHEET');
getSheetByName(name)

Can anyone help me with sending an email via google scripts?
Here the challenge I am facing is that the range of the first column (email) may go up to 1000 lists of the email addresses. Although, now it's working fine (for now) how can I make it a dynamic range of list to be fed over my email lists to the script.
Code:
// This constant is written in column C for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = 'Email Success!';
/**
* Sends non-duplicate emails with data from the current spreadsheet.
*/
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Script (Beta)");
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 3; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 3);
// 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 emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent !== EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = '[Auto] The Process Has Not Yet Been Started';
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}

In order to make your range dynamic, you could use Sheet.getLastRow(), which returns the position of the last row with content.
Assuming that function sendEmails2 is the one your using for this, you would just have to modify the variable numRows. You would have to change this line:
var numRows = 3; // Number of rows to process
To this one:
var numRows = sheet.getLastRow() - startRow + 1;
Reference:
Sheet.getLastRow()
I hope this is of any help.
Disclaimer: I am new to programming so please bear with me :)
I am trying to send emails with a PDF file attachment to different email contacts on a Google Spreadsheet. Each attachment has to be unique to each Name by looking up that file name on google drive. Can someone help with that extra bit of code?
The code I have is currently sending emails with a custom message and a file attachment, and marking each email as sent in column C once the script ends running. However, I would like to send a different PDF attachment to each and every email address, ideally by writing some code that gets the "Investor Name" in column D, looks up the file in Google Drive that contains that name, and attaches that file to the email to be sent out.
So, I need to get the PDF file by each name in each corresponding cell, and not as written below (I believe):
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName('SHARE CERTIFICATE #60 - JOHN APPLE.pdf');
// This constant is written in column C for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 250; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 250)
// 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 emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName('SHARE CERTIFICATE #60 - JOHN APPLE.pdf');
if (file.hasNext()) {
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message, {
attachments: [file.next().getAs(MimeType.PDF)],
name: 'Custom email Team'
});
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
}
The final result I expect is to:
- Send Emails to different email addresses with a message and subject
- Attach a PDF file with file name that correspond to the Name of each email recipient
Thanks a lot in advance, this will massively help! :)
Your code is missing a small detail. Basically, you should get the data from column D when using getRange:
var numRows = sheet.getLastRow() - startRow + 1; // Number of rows to process
var startCol = 1;
var numCols = 4; // Number of columns to process (should include column D)
// Fetch the range of cells A2:D
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, startCol, numRows, numCols);
Notice that the number of rows to be retrieved doesn't have to be hardcoded. If you use getLastRow you can get the index of the last row with content, and use that to get the desired range. This way you can get exactly the number of rows you want; not more, not less.
Then, inside the loop, retrieve the value in column D, like this:
var fileName = row[3]; // Fourth column
Finally, you retrieve the file from Drive like this:
var files = DriveApp.getFilesByName(fileName);
So the full modified code could be like:
// This constant is written in column C for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = sheet.getLastRow() - startRow + 1; // Number of rows to process
var startCol = 1;
var numCols = 4; // Number of columns to process (should include column D)
// Fetch the range of cells A2:D
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, startCol, numRows, numCols);
// 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 emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
var fileName = row[3]; // Fourth column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
var files = DriveApp.getFilesByName(fileName);
if (files.hasNext()) {
var file = files.next();
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message, {
attachments: [file], // No need to use getAs if your file is already a PDF
name: 'Custom email Team'
});
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
}
I have made some additional small changes to that code (for example, changing the variable file to files and then defining var file = files.next()).
I hope this is of any help to you.
Something like this will work I think:
function sendEmails() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sheet=ss.getActiveSheet();
var logsheet=ss.getSheetByName('logSheet');//added logsheet
if(!logsheet){ss.insertSheet('logSheet');}
var startRow=3;//added one row here to accomodate subject and pdfFldrId
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, sheet.getLastRow()-startRow-1,sheet.getLastColumn())
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var subject= sheet.getRange("B2").getValue();
var pdfFldrId=sheet.getRange("C2").getValue();
for (var i=0;i<data.length;++i) {
var row=data[i];
var emailAddress=row[0];
var message=row[1];
var emailSent=row[2];
var pdfName=row[3];
var files=DriveApp.getFolderById(pdfFldrId).getFilesByName(pdfName);
var n=0;
while(files.hasNext()) {
var file=files.next();
n++;
}
if(n>1){
var ts=Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), Session.getScriptTimeZone(), "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
logsheet.append([ts,pdfName,'more than file with this name']);
continue;//breaks out of loop increment index and keep going
}
if(emailSent!="EMAIL_SENT") {
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message, {attachments:[file]});
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue("EMAIL_SENT");
}
}
}
If you want to send a different image with the same email list just duplicate the sheet and change the pdfFldrId and the subject which are found in C2 and B2 and learn to keep the different images is different folders with the same filenames.
I've been using Google form to collect information to a workbook, then using that information to send customized emails back to the sender. I am a noob at coding, but I have managed to cobble together enough for this task. My problem is that, when it comes to a blank email cell it stops. I've tried to put in a loop to make it skip, with no success. Any help would be appreciated. This is the program I am using without a loop.
// This constant is written in column C for rows for which an email
// has been sent successfully.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 2000; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B2001
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 2001)
// 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 emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Bounce Reply";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
You can use string.match() function to determine if a cell is empty or not. Since you are looking for email address you might as well see if the cell has '#' sign. If not exclude the cell and continue on to the next cell like so:
if (emailAddress.match('#') === null){
continue; // skip this iteration of the loop and go to the next one
}
Your final code will look like:
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 2000; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B2001
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 2001)
// 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 emailAddress = row[0] // First column
if (emailAddress.match('#') === null){
continue; // skip this iteration of the loop and go to the next one
};
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "Bounce Reply";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 3).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
Edit
To check if something is empty or not you can try something like this.
if (message.match(/[a-zA-Z0-9_]/) === null) { //" /[a-zA-Z0-9_]/ " is regex to match any and every alphanumeric letter including underscore
continue; // skip this iteration of the loop and go to the next one
}
You can find more details on function match and regex here.
Hope that helps!
I want to send emails from a spreadsheet to multiple people but only email them the information in all the columns and not just 1. For example, I want all the information from B2:E2 to be emailed to A2.
I am using the basic template provided in the Google Support which I have attached below.
All the changes to the code that I have made have not worked:
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:B3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 2)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
}
There are quite few changes to make to the original script, html is our friend in this context, it will look nicer.
code :
function sendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 2; // Number of rows to process
var colWidth = 5; // column width, including first one
// Fetch the range of cells A2:E3, one email per row
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, colWidth)
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
var subject = "Sending emails from a Spreadsheet";
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = '<body><div style="font-family:arial,sans;font-size:10pt"><p>welcome message</p>';
message+= '<table style="border-collapse:collapse;" border = 1 cellpadding = 4><tr>';
for(var n=1 ; n<row.length ; n++){
message += '<td bgcolor="#EEF">'+row[n]+'</td>'
}
message += '</tr></table></div></body>';
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, 'html only',{htmlBody:message});
}
}
Sheet example :
email result , third row :
I have set up a spreadsheet which I think mimics the table structure you are looking for:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S3fWaV4Sl4mIYjT-kMtOlP2V4xWSOpz721bxGWFuNqQ/edit
And the following function sends out emails:
One email per row
Email address in column 0, data in the other columns
Code:
// The range of data including email columns
// Example is set up with email in Column A, data in B and C
// Headers on Row 1, data rows on 2 and 3.
var DATA_RANGE = 'A2:C3';
function sendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getRange(DATA_RANGE);
var values = data.getValues();
for (var i = 0, row; row = values[i]; i++) {
// Take email address from column A
var emailAddress = row[0];
// Join the remaining columns, comma-separated (as an example)
var messageData = row.slice(1).join(', ');
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, 'Sending emails from a Spreadsheet', messageData);
}
}
Does this cover what you're trying to do?
I have a google form which collects few details and an email-id, however if there is a wrong entry in the email, the script fails and does not execute the next row, it gets stuck there. Now i want the script to ignore the wrong entries and execute for the correct entries.I have my code below.
var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
function sendEmails2() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = sheet.getLastRow(); // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B3
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 5, numRows, 3)
// 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 emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var emailSent = row[2]; // Third column
if (emailSent != EMAIL_SENT) { // Prevents sending duplicates
var subject = "You have been registered for follwoing events:-";
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
sheet.getRange(startRow + i, 7).setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
// Make sure the cell is updated right away in case the script is interrupted
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
}
}
}
For this you can add a if condition before this line of code
if(valid email address){
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
else{continue;}
to verify if the email id has a valid value or not.
You can also check this approach.
Hope that helps!
