Capture values and send email trigger - google-apps-script

Question

I managed to collect data of user typing in and by using onChange trigger, I did meet my requirements for my task. However, I realized that for example I am filling up Column A1:A4. If my A1:A3 is out of range, it will trigger the email. But if my A4 is within range, the values of A1:A3 will still trigger the email eventhough it has trigger it before. How do I make sure that the values that have been capture do not trigger the email again?
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
currentsheet = ss.getSheetName();
//var values = ss.getRange(a1Notation)
//console.log(values);
var lastcol = ss.getLastColumn();
var vibrationtemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("vibration");
var temperaturetemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("temperature");
//console.log(lastcol);
if((currentsheet == 'A Vibration') || (currentsheet == 'B Vibration')){
console.log(currentsheet);
for(var i =2; i<=lastcol; i++){
var cell = ss.getRange(i,lastcol).getValues();
console.log(""+cell);
if(cell > 8){
console.log("Value is more than 8 and current value is "+cell);
vibrationtemplate.vibrate = cell;
MailApp.sendEmail("someone#gmail.com",
"Parameter Out of Range Notification",
"",{htmlBody: vibrationtemplate.evaluate().getContent()});
}
}
}
if((currentsheet == 'A Temperature') || (currentsheet == 'B Temperature')){
console.log(currentsheet);
for(var i =2; i<=lastcol; i++){
var cell = ss.getRange(i,lastcol).getValues();
console.log(""+cell);
if(cell > 80){
console.log("Value is more than 80 and current value is "+cell);
temperaturetemplate.temp = cell;
MailApp.sendEmail("someone#gmail.com",
"Parameter Out of Range Notification",
"",{htmlBody: temperaturetemplate.evaluate().getContent()});
}
}
}
}
EDIT: Latest code - Using a daily trigger and only checks at the end of the day.
function myFunction() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
var sheetNumber = sheets.length; //Get number of sheets within Spreadsheet
var currentSheet = ss.getIndex()-1; //Get index of current sheet with 0 indexing
var vibrationtemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("vibration"); //Create HTML for email by grabbing template from vibration.html
var temperaturetemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("temperature"); //Create HTML for email by grabbing template from temperature.html
const vibrationlimit = 8; //Set vibrationlimit as constant equals to 8
const temperaturelimit = 80; //Set temperaturelimit as constant equals to 80
var currentDate = new Date(); //Get system Date and Time
var currentDay = currentDate.getDate(); //Extract Date from Full Date(currentDate)
var currentMonth = currentDate.getMonth() +1; //Extract Month from Full Date(currentDate), add +1 as month index start from 0.
for (var z = currentSheet ; z<sheetNumber ; ++z ){
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheets[z])
var lastcol = sheets[z].getLastColumn();
var lastrow= sheets[z].getLastRow();
var cellDate = sheets[z].getRange(1,lastcol).getValues();
var formattedCellDate = new Date(cellDate);
var cellDay = formattedCellDate.getDate();
var cellMonth = formattedCellDate.getMonth() + 1;
if((z==0) || (z==2)){
if((cellDay == currentDay) && (cellMonth == currentMonth)){
for(var i = 2; i<=lastrow; i++){
var scxvibrationname = sheets[z].getRange(i,1).getValues();
var vibration = sheets[z].getRange(i,lastcol).getValues();
if(vibration > vibrationlimit){
Logger.log("Vibration over 8 - Current Value is "+vibration);
vibrationtemplate.vibrate = vibration;
vibrationtemplate.scxvibration = scxvibrationname;
}
}
}
}
}

You can use PropertiesService to store the last row of the previous script run
The following code sets the start row for the for loop to the (last row+1) of the previous script run, so that only e-mails from newly added rows will be sent:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
currentsheet = ss.getSheetName();
//var values = ss.getRange(a1Notation)
//console.log(values);
var lastcol = ss.getLastColumn();
var lastrow=ss.getLastRow();
var vibrationtemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("vibration");
var temperaturetemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("temperature");
//console.log(lastcol);
if(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getKeys().length==0){
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('startRow', lastrow+1);
}
var startRow=PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('startRow');
if((currentsheet == 'A Vibration') || (currentsheet == 'B Vibration')){
console.log(currentsheet);
//I ASSUME THAT YOU WANT TO LOOP THROUGH ALL ROWS AND NOT COLUMNS
for(var i =startRow; i<=lastrow; i++){
var cell = ss.getRange(i,lastcol).getValues();
console.log(""+cell);
if(cell > 8){
console.log("Value is more than 8 and current value is "+cell);
vibrationtemplate.vibrate = cell;
MailApp.sendEmail("someone#gmail.com",
"Parameter Out of Range Notification",
"",{htmlBody: vibrationtemplate.evaluate().getContent()});
}
}
}
...
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('startRow', lastrow+1);
}

function myFunction() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var sheets = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
var sheetNumber = sheets.length; //Get number of sheets within Spreadsheet
var currentSheet = ss.getIndex()-1; //Get index of current sheet with 0 indexing
var vibrationtemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("vibration"); //Create HTML for email by grabbing template from vibration.html
var temperaturetemplate = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile("temperature"); //Create HTML for email by grabbing template from temperature.html
const vibrationlimit = 8; //Set vibrationlimit as constant equals to 8
const temperaturelimit = 80; //Set temperaturelimit as constant equals to 80
var currentDate = new Date(); //Get system Date and Time
var currentDay = currentDate.getDate(); //Extract Date from Full Date(currentDate)
var currentMonth = currentDate.getMonth() +1; //Extract Month from Full Date(currentDate), add +1 as month index start from 0.
for (var z = currentSheet ; z<sheetNumber ; ++z ){
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheets[z])
var lastcol = sheets[z].getLastColumn();
var lastrow= sheets[z].getLastRow();
var cellDate = sheets[z].getRange(1,lastcol).getValues();
var formattedCellDate = new Date(cellDate);
var cellDay = formattedCellDate.getDate();
var cellMonth = formattedCellDate.getMonth() + 1;
if((z==0) || (z==2)){
if((cellDay == currentDay) && (cellMonth == currentMonth)){
for(var i = 2; i<=lastrow; i++){
var scxvibrationname = sheets[z].getRange(i,1).getValues();
var vibration = sheets[z].getRange(i,lastcol).getValues();
if(vibration > vibrationlimit){
Logger.log("Vibration over 8 - Current Value is "+vibration);
vibrationtemplate.vibrate = vibration;
vibrationtemplate.scxvibration = scxvibrationname;
}
}
}
}
}
I manipulated by using daily time-driven trigger.
