Send Email Google Sheets
There are a lot of use cases for this type of automation: Lido customers to let them know the status of their orders, sending weekly reports based on spreadsheet data, alerting by email when specific rows change — the list goes on. However, the ability to create emails in batches or on a schedule isn’t built into Google Sheets, but you can add this capability using some simple code.
Enhance Your Productivity: Email Integration with Google Sheets
In this article we’ll show you how to write an Apps Script that uses the value of a cell in a Google Sheet to trigger an email to be sent. You’ll learn how to set up the Script, and then we’ll add the code to use it with your Gmail account to send the email to the recipients of your choice.
To start, you’ll need a Google Sheet with some data that you want to email. You can use the default data for this, or create a custom query to retrieve the data you’d like to send.
The code we’ll be writing in this article will make use of the processEdit() function, which can be triggered by the use of a trigger module. The trigger module will be used to check for changes to the spreadsheet, and the processEdit() function will be invoked to send an email when those changes occur.
Note that while this method is a great way to automate the sending of emails, it will only work for a small number of recipients at a time. This is because Google places quota limitations on the use of the Apps Script library to send emails. For larger volumes of email, it’s best to use a third party service.
