How to rename pdf file when emailed in Google Apps Script [duplicate] - google-apps-script

Question

I have this script to export three separate sheets as PDF's using Google Apps Script which works fine except for the fact that the PDF's are exported with the file name of export.pdf in each case. I would like to rename them to 'Yesterday', 'Last 7 Days' and 'Last 30 Days' respectively, can anyone help me to achieve this, please?
//Menu in Google Sheet
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu('Dashboard')
.addItem('Email Dashboard','emailDashboard')
.addToUi();
}
//Convert dashboard to PDF and email a copy to user
function emailDashboard() {
// get sheet id
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var id = ss.getId();
// setup sheets
var yesterdaySheet = ss.getSheetByName('Yesterday');
var last7DaysSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Last 7 Days');
var last30DaysSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Last 30 Days');
var settingsSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Settings');
var dashboardURL = ss.getUrl() + "?usp=sharing";
// Send the PDF of the spreadsheet to this email address
// get this from the settings sheet
var email = settingsSheet.getRange(8,2).getValue();
var cc_email = settingsSheet.getRange(9,2).getValue();
var bcc_email = settingsSheet.getRange(10,2).getValue();
// Subject of email message
var subject = "Dashboard PDF generated from " + ss.getName() + " - " + new Date().toLocaleString();
// Email Body
var body = `A pdf copy of your dashboard is attached.<br><br>
To access this Google Sheet,;
<a href="` + dashboardURL + `" >click here</a>`;
// Base URL
var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + id + "/export?";
var url_ext = 'exportFormat=pdf&format=pdf&size=A4&portrait=false&fitw=true&gid=';
// Auth value
var token = ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
var options = {
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token }
}
// helps initialize first time using the script
var driveCall = DriveApp.getRootFolder();
// create the pdf
var responseYesterday = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + url_ext + yesterdaySheet.getSheetId(), options);
var response7Days = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + url_ext + last7DaysSheet.getSheetId(), options);
var response30Days = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + url_ext + last30DaysSheet.getSheetId(), options);
// send the email with the PDF attachment
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body, {
cc: cc_email,
bcc: bcc_email,
htmlBody: body,
attachments:[responseYesterday,response7Days, response30Days]
});
}

Answer 1

Explanation:
Just add these three lines after the pdf creation part:
var blob_Y = responseYesterday.getBlob().setName('Yesterday' + '.pdf');
var blob_L7D = response7Days.getBlob().setName('Last 7 Days' + '.pdf');
var blob_L30D = response30Days.getBlob().setName('Last 30 Days' + '.pdf');
and then change this part:
GmailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body, {
cc: cc_email,
bcc: bcc_email,
htmlBody: body,
attachments:[blob_Y, blob_L7D, blob_L30D ]
});
