Hi Matt, Your videos are great! I like that you also predict errors and explain them at the moment. I would like to automte emails just like this video but I need to send the email to multiple candidates. The email would found at a cell on the same row as the "name", "user" as them. How could I make this work. I know HTML but I'm new to appscript language. I appreciate the help!
Thank you for such kind words - it's greatly appreciated. I think this is a wonderful idea for another lesson, which I will put together. In the meantime, this video has some code that might help you get what you need. Let me know if it does not and I can tailor the lesson to your situation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8VXSXQ-RMI0.html
Could you please create a video demonstrating how an HR team establishes automation for sending out National Day email announcements? The goal is to have these emails scheduled automatically throughout the year. Is it feasible to accomplish this using Apps Script? Thank you
the triggers section does not have that type of option. its functionality is limited to minute, hour, day, week, month, etc. i have never tried this but you might be able to create a function that runs every day and keeps count of how many consecutive runs it’s made. so it would work like: var max_run = 3; var run_count = 0; if(run_count == max_run) { sendEmail(); } else { run_count += 1 } i can mess around a bit and follow-up. feel free to email me if you wanna hash it out
good question - i’ll play around with it and see if i come up with something. i think it’s viable using the getLastRow() method and the onChange trigger to get the script to run
what are you trying to do? do you want an email with the data from the last row? or do you want to send an email to an address that’s included in the data added to the last row?
@mattbrigidi I'm here to follow this thread, too. Really appreciate these GREAT videos. 👀 FYI, I'm only getting the first row to show up. When I enter the following it only brings up the first row. var data = sheet.getRange(1, 1, sheet.getLastRow(), sheet.getLastColumn()).getDisplayValues(); Maybe there's another way to set the range.
@mattridgidi thank you SO much for the fix. I implemented the code adjustment you suggested, and it worked! Here's the adjustment in case anyone else needs it. var data = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(), 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getDisplayValues();
Thanks, Matt! Great stuff. I am getting an error in the Apps Script that says, "SyntaxError: Unexpected token '=' main @ Code.gs:29" but I cannot find an error. I have copied your code line for line to test it out before making changes suited for my needs. Any idea what might be causing this error?
there are a couple different ways to approach it. one huge consideration is making sure that you do not max out any quotas. how many lines would you be dealing with? also, would each line have a different email or would this be a mailing list receiving the same info?
I'm always happy to help - feel free to reach out using the email in my bio. I would say that using columns instead of rows might cause you longterm problems; but I'd be happy to learn more about what you're trying to do and help as best i can
I believe this code example only sends emails to the first row of data (its been a while since I've recorded this lesson). If you would like to receive the most recent row of data then you can change the getRange portion of the data variable to the following: // access the data in a variable var data = sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(), 1, 1, sheet.getLastColumn()).getDisplayValues(); then you'll have to change the data points to the following: // define data points var name = data[0][1]; var inventory = data[0][3]; var grossRev = data[0][4]; var netRev = data[0][5]; let me know if this doesn't answer your question and i'll be happy to work through it with you. my email is in my about section if you want to reach out there
@@mattbrigidi Thank you for your help. I would like to ask, what in case, if I want so send email to the dynamic list of contacts. I have filter in my google sheet and when a new record is created I get the list of values in specific column. When a new record updated, I would like to send email to the dynamic list of recipients ( 3-5 Rows). How to make it?
hey @@veronikaholazova - i wonder if this video on mailing lists is something that might help you? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nGpOmOif20I.html let me know if that doesn't provide you what you need and we can explore a solution together
depends on what you would like the experience to be - are you envisioning a situation where you: 1. automate an email 2. follow-up if there is no reply
