Activate Gmail Message or Open new Gmail Message Window with Chrome - google-chrome

Question

I'm trying to toggle to my new gmail message box but if it doesn't exist i would like my script to open gmail and open a new email (Compose new message).
Here's my existing script (previously provided by user285594)
^+m::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WinTitleC :="Compose Mail - "
IfWinExist, %WinTitleC%
{
WinActivate
return
}else{
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Chrome
WinActivate ;
WinWait, Chrome ;
sleep, 100 ;
chrome := "- Google Chrome"
found := "false"
tabSearch := "gmail"
curWinNum := 0
WinGet, numOfChrome, Count, %chrome% ; Get the number of chrome windows
WinActivateBottom, %chrome% ; Activate the least recent window
WinWaitActive %chrome% ; Wait until the window is active
ControlFocus, Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND1 ; Set the focus to tab control ???
while (curWinNum < numOfChrome and found = "false") {
WinGetTitle, firstTabTitle, A ; The initial tab title
title := firstTabTitle
Loop {
if(InStr(title, tabSearch)>0){
found := "true"
break
}
Send {Ctrl down}{Tab}{Ctrl up}
Sleep, 50
WinGetTitle, title, A ;get active window title
if(title = firstTabTitle){
break
}
}
WinActivateBottom, %chrome%
curWinNum := curWinNum + 1
}
ControlSend, , {Shift Down}c{Shift Up}, Google Chrome
winmove, Compose,, 1750, 303, 1725, 935 ; moving the window to my preferred position
if(found = "false"){
run C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ogbl#inbox
WinWait, Inbox
ControlSend, , {Shift Down}c , Google Chrome
winmove, Compose,, 1750, 303, 1725, 935; moving the window to my preferred position
}
}
return
It works when I have chrome open regardless of which tab I'm in. It does not work and seems to pause if chrome is minimized. What would you suggest?

I think the mistake lies on this line:
WinGetTitle, firstTabTitle, A ; The initial tab title
Here is a solution proposal:
#SingleInstance force
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
ComposeTitle = Compose Mail -
If WinExist(ComposeTitle . " ahk_exe chrome.exe") {
WinActivate
return
}
; Loop on all Chrome Windows
WinGet, id, List,ahk_exe Chrome.exe
found := False
tabSearch = Gmail
Loop, %id%
{
hWnd := id%A_Index%
WinActivate, ahk_id %hWnd%
; Loop on all Tabs in Chrome Window
WinGetTitle, firstTabTitle, A
title := firstTabTitle
Loop {
if (InStr(title, tabSearch)>0){
found = True
break
}
Send ^{Tab} ; switch to next tab
Sleep, 50
WinGetTitle, title, A ;get active window title
if (title = firstTabTitle){
break
}
} ; end Loop Tabs
if (found)
break
} ; end loop Chrome windows
If !(found) {
Run run C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/0/#inbox"
WinWait, Inbox ahk_exe Chrome.exe
}
SendInput +c ; Shift+C
;WinWait %ComposeTitle%
;winmove, A,, 1750, 303, 1725, 935; moving the window to my preferred position
return
