I'm trying to make a script to send an email every day , after checking in a spreadsheet, two conditions. If the first condition for True , the data to e- mail will be " subject1 ", otherwise, will be " subject2 ".
The script works correctly when I run manually , however, through the trigger, the value I would like to send via email, simply does not appear in the body.
I can not understand what could be wrong if manually , works perfectly .
The trigger is "time-driven/hour time/every 12 hours".
Can anyone help me?
This is the code:
function sendNotificationD() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
var column = ss.getRange('o13');
var cell = sheet.getRange('o13');
var value = column.getValue();
var emailSheet = ss.getSheetByName("totais");
var emails = emailSheet.getRange("q1:s1").getValues();
var range_bill_com = sheet.getRange('o13');
if (range_bill_com.getValue() !='CONGRATS'){
var recipients = emails;
var message = '';
var subject = 'subject1 here';
var body = 'IMPORTANT: ' + '\n\n' + 'your goal is' + ' ' + value;
MailApp.sendEmail(recipients, subject, body);
}
if (range_bill_com.getValue() =='CONGRATS'){
var recipients = emails;
var message = '';
var subject = 'subject2 here';
var body = 'you have reached your goal';
MailApp.sendEmail(recipients, subject, body);
}
};
At this line:
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
The method getActiveSheet() gets the the active sheet that is being displayed in the spreadsheet UI when a user opens it, but when it runs from a time-driven trigger there is no active sheet, so you need to indicate the sheet, you can use getSheetByName() or getSheets() the line should look like this:
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");
or
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0]; // Index of the tab, 0 will return the first one
The function will still work if you fire it manually or from a trigger.

I have been looking how to write the script to check and run on multiple tabs. What I have now, I would need to copy/paste and set execution triggers one by one.
Script I have:
function SendEmail() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName("1");
var value = sheet.getRange("F3").getValue();
var subject = "subject";
var message = "message";
if (value >0){
MailApp.sendEmail("email", subject, message);
}
}
I have this running every 8 hours (trigger run).
I am looking to add more tabs so that for each tab the script can check and send an email if the value of individual tabs is more than 0.
Any ideas on how to do this?
The value in every tab is under F3. Tab names, for example, 1,2,3,4...
Thank you!!!
This should do what you looking for if I understood the issue correctly.
function SendEmail() {
//Get the Spreadsheet
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
//Get all Sheets in the Spreadsheet
var sheets = ss.getSheets();
//Create a variable for the email address, subject and message
var email = "";
var subject = "";
var message = "";
//Can change the starting sheet by changing the value of "i" - 0 will be the first sheet.
for (var i = 0; i < sheets.length; i++){
var sheet = sheets[i];
var value = sheet.getRange("F3").getValue();
switch(sheet.getSheetName) {
case "Sheet1":
email = "email1#domain.com";
break;
case "Sheet2":
email = "email2#domain.com";
break;
default:
value = 1
email = "yourEmailAddress#domain.com";
subject = "Message Failed to Send";
message = "There was an error sending email, please investigate";
}
if (value >0){
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, message);
}//END OF IF STATEMENT
}//END OF FOR LOOP
}//END OF FUNCTION
really feel like I'm missing something with the Spreadsheet object scripts.
I'm trying to automatically email collaborators onEdit. I successfully emailed when explicitly runnign the script in test, but the onEdit event never seems to get fired (not seeing log messages even). Script seems pretty straightforward.
function onEdit(e) {
var sheet = e.source;
var viewers = sheet.getViewers();
var ct = viewers.length;
var recipients = [];
for(var i=0;i<ct;i++){
recipients.push(viewers[i].getEmail());
};
var subject = 'Update to '+sheet.getName();
var body = sheet.getName() + ' has been updated. Visit ' + sheet.getUrl() + ' to view the changes ' + e.range;
Logger.log('Running onedit');
MailApp.sendEmail(recipients, subject, body);
};
the simple onEdit function has a very limited set of possible actions since it runs without the authorization of the potential user. You have to create another function and set a specific trigger on this function.(installable trigger)
See this post as an example. It shows examples of simple onEdit and installable edit (for email send)
This is explained in the documentation here.
EDIT : here is your code working :
function sendAlert() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation()
var viewers = ss.getViewers();
var ct = viewers.length;
var recipients = [];
for(var i=0;i<ct;i++){
recipients.push(viewers[i].getEmail());
};
var subject = 'Update to '+sheet.getName();
var body = sheet.getName() + ' has been updated. Visit ' + ss.getUrl() + ' to view the changes on cell ' + cell;
MailApp.sendEmail(recipients, subject, body);
};
I am trying to automate sending an email from a spreadsheet when a user form is submitted. The form covers a number of processes (ordering fuel, receiving fuel etc) and I only want the email sent out on fuel orders - so need to restrict the alert to a specific column.
I have the pulled the below together from other examples, pretty sure I'm close but am probably missing something obvious out...
function sendNotification() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
if(sheet.getName()=='Form Responses 1'){
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
var cellcol = cell.getColumn();
if(cellcol == 4){
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
var recipients = "email#email.com";
var subject = 'New fuel order for '+cellvalue;
var body = 'A new fuel order has been placed for ' + cellvalue + '. Please action asap: «' + ss.getUrl() + '»';
MailApp.sendEmail(recipients, subject, body);}
}
}
I had it working until I added the lines to find the cell column and the if function to continue only if the edit was in column D - previously any edit to the form responses sheet triggered a notification.
Many thanks
This line var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation(); makes cell a String from google apps script perspective, not a cell, so .getColumn() does nothing.
Instead, I suggest having simply
var cell = ss.getActiveCell();
var cellcol = cell.getColumn();
if(cellcol == 4){
...
I am trying to set up a script for a google spreadsheet that will email a specific person whenever a cell in Column M is modified to 'y'. I found this script,
email notification if cell is changed
and I am trying to modify it to suit my needs, but I am having an issue getting it to work. This is my script as it stands now.
function onEdit(e){
Logger.log(e)
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
Logger.log(ss)
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
Logger.log(sheet)
var cell = ss.getActiveCell().getA1Notation();
Logger.log(cell)
var row = sheet.getActiveRange().getRow();
Logger.log(row)
var column = sheet.getActiveRange().getColumn();
Logger.log(column)
var cellvalue = ss.getActiveCell().getValue().toString();
Logger.log(cellvalue)
var recipients = "08cylinders#gmail.com"; //email address will go here
var message = '';
if(cell.indexOf('M')!=-1){
message = sheet.getRange('M'+ sheet.getActiveCell().getRowIndex()).getValue()
}
Logger.log(message)
Logger.log(cell)
var subject = 'Update to '+sheet.getName();
var body = sheet.getName() + ' has been updated. Visit ' + ss.getUrl() + to view the changes on row: ' + row; //New comment: «' + cellvalue + '». For message: «' + message + '»';
MailApp.sendEmail(recipients, subject, body);
}
If anybody has an idea of what I'm missing, I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Victor
i think this may solve your event problem:
function onEdit(e) {
var ssActive = e.source;
var ssActiveRange = ssActive.getActiveRange();
var ssActiveRangeVal = ssActiveRange.getValue();
var ActiveRow = ssActiveRange.getRow(); // if needed to put on body's message
var ActiveColumn = ssActiveRange.getColumn();
if((ssActiveRangeVal=='y' || ssActiveRangeVal=='Y') && ActiveColumn==13){ // ActiveColumn==13 for M
// write down your mail code here
}
}
You cannot send an email from the onEdit trigger. What you need to do is save the edits as a Document Property and then setup a 1-minute time based trigger that sends the content of the property in an email and flushes the queue.
