我正在尝试根据某个类别（mgr，str，wtr）所属的类别发送电子邮件，但它仅发送到该组中的第一封电子邮件？

Question

I have been slaving over this piece of code and the script is saying that it's working, the Logger.log, is popping up after every line, but it's only using on of the emails to send the emails to regardless of category. I have tried many different solutions, but I think I need some help (I've searched online forEVER and still can't find anything to help for this problem). Here's my code:

function onEdit() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sh = ss.getActiveSheet();
  var sheetProgressReport = ss.getSheetByName("ProgressReport");
  var sheetManagers = ss.getSheetByName("Managers");
  var range = sheetProgressReport.getRange(4, 7, sh.getLastRow(), 1);
  var rangeSentEmail = sheetProgressReport.getRange(4, 8, sh.getLastRow(), 1);
  var column = range.getColumnIndex();
      if(column === 7) {
  var managerEmail = sheetManagers.getRange(22, 2).getValue().toString(); //object to string with respective manager's email
  var strategistEmail = sheetManagers.getRange(23, 2).getValue().toString(); //object to string with respective strategist's email
  var writerEmail = sheetManagers.getRange(24, 2).getValue().toString(); //object to string with respective writer's email
  var client = sheetManagers.getRange(2, 2).getValue().toString(); //object to string with client name
        var message = "Please tell Jordan if you get this! Thank you! :)"; //string with message
  var category = range.getValues();
  var columnSentEmail = rangeSentEmail.getValues();
        var mgr = "mgr";
        var str = "str";
        var wtr = "wtr";
        var EMAIL_SENT = "EMAIL_SENT";
         if (columnSentEmail != EMAIL_SENT && category === "") {email = "";}
                        else if (category = mgr) {email = managerEmail;}
                        else if (category = str) {email = strategistEmail;}
                        else if (category = wtr) {email = writerEmail;}
  MailApp.sendEmail(email, client, message);
   rangeSentEmail.setValue(EMAIL_SENT);
    SpreadsheetApp.flush();
  }
   }

I'm guessing it's something to do with the way that I'm processing (or the lack of processing) the data in the "rangeSentEmail/range" vars. Here's my goal if you can't tell from the messy code: I want to read the top 5-10 lines in the "rangeSentEmail/range" vars, then check to make sure that "rangeEmailSent" is not marked with "EMAIL_SENT"; if it meets that requirement, then I want the "range" column to check for labels (mgr, wtr, str) and then send emails to the respective "managerEmail, writerEmail, or strategistEmail" based on which label is in the column. I honestly can't deduce where the problem is, so PLEASE and THHHAAANNKK YOUUUU in advance! I'll be checking up regularly for any help!

Your problem is here var category = range.getValues()

change from getValues() to getValue(). The first is returing an array of objects and the second return only the value, be sure that is a single value.

The second problem is here:

 if (columnSentEmail != EMAIL_SENT && category === "") {email = "";}
                    else if (category = mgr) {email = managerEmail;}
                    else if (category = str) {email = strategistEmail;}
                    else if (category = wtr) {email = writerEmail;}

Try using only "==" to compare values. The operator "===" forces you to check if the value AND type are identical and using only one equals "=" just attribute the value to the category variable. So, use only "==" to make this comparisons.

Best,
