Google Sheets - Send email based on cell matching True or False - google-apps-script

Question

I don't work with Google Sheets very often and mainly deal with Google Form's script editor. We have created a database from various forms that fill into one spreadsheet and I would like to send email notifications to specific managers based on the recent row update, which would update from a form submission. Here is what I was trying to get it to do:
if cell in Column P matches to "FALSE":
send email
set the recipient field as "director1#gmail.com" if cell in Column J matches to the word "Building 1"
set the CC field as "manager1#gmail.com" if the cell in Column I matches to the word "Department 1"
if Column P matches to "TRUE", then it doesn't have to do anything
function triggerOnEdit(e)
{
alertManagers(e);
}
function checkClearance(e)
{
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName("Calculations");
var value = sheet.getRange("P:P").getValue();
var range = sheet.getRange(1, 1, sheet.getLastRow(), 1); //understands spreadsheet
if(range.getColumn() <= 16 &&
range.getLastColumn() >=16 )
{
var edited_row = range.getRow();
var approval = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(edited_row,16).getValue();
if(approval == 'FALSE')
{
return edited_row;
}
}
return 0;
}
function alertManagers(e)
{
var clearance_row = checkClearance(e);
if(clearance_row <= 0)
{
return;
}
sendEmailByRow(clearance_row);
}
function sendEmailByRow(row)
{
var values = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(row,1,row,16).getValues();
var row_values = values[0];
var mail = composeAlertEmail(row_values);
var manageremail='test#gmail.com';
//Uncomment this line for testing
//SpreadsheetApp.getUi().alert(" subject is "+mail.subject+"\n message "+mail.message);
MailApp.sendEmail(manageremail,mail.subject,mail.message);
}
function composeAlertEmail(row_values)
{
var name = row_values[6];
var email = "test#gmail.com";
var message = "Good day, \n The following employee does not have clearance to enter the building: "+name+
" email "+email;
var subject = "Employee Not Cleared: "+name+" "
return({message:message,subject:subject});
}
Does this seem possible? I know I am probably far off from a solution, but thanks if anyone can help in advance!

Solution:
Here is what you are looking for:
function triggerOnEdit(e) {
sendEmails(e)
}
function sendEmails(e){
const row = e.range.getRow();
const col = e.range.getColumn();
const as = e.source.getActiveSheet();
const subject = "This is the subject of the email";
const body = "This is the body of the email";
const to = "director1#gmail.com";
const cc = "manager1#gmail.com";
if(as.getName() == "Calculations" && col == 16 && as.getRange(row,col).getDisplayValue() == "FALSE") {
if (as.getRange(row,10).getValue()=="Building 1"){
if(as.getRange(row,9).getValue()=="Department 1"){
MailApp.sendEmail({to:to ,subject: subject,body:body,cc:cc});
}
else {
MailApp.sendEmail({to: to,subject: subject,body:body});
}
}
}
}
I assume that if column J does not match Building 1 which means there is no recipient, the email won't be sent.
Don't forget to add triggerOnEdit(e) to the current project's trigger:
