处理Gmail加载项中持久的特定于用户的值

Question

I have created simple Gmail addon, now I'm struggling with below strategies.

After installing the addon, when first inbox is opened, we ask basic info input from users, when he opens second mail we won't ask basic info details again.

How I can handle this?

I have tried property service but no luck.

Update

var MAX_THREADS = 5;

/**

 * e-mail thread. The name of this function is specified in the
 * manifest 'onTriggerFunction' field, indicating that this function
 * runs every time the add-on is started.

Answer 1

Robert , have you tried caching the user input ?

I do caching in the event handler.

 function onDomainChange(e){ var cache = CacheService.getScriptCache(); Logger.log(e.formInput); cache.put('domain',e.formInput.domain); Logger.log(cache.get('domain')); } 

Refer cache docs

Answer 2

According to comments, the primary issue here is that uninstalling the add-on does not remove bits from the UserProperties datastore, and thus if the add-on is re-installed, the add-on configuration steps cannot be performed again.

Generic Add-on Solution

If this were not a Gmail add-on, this could be simply solved with a time-based trigger, since per documentation:

Add-on triggers will stop firing in any of the following situations:
- If the add-on is uninstalled by the user
- If the add-on is disabled in a document (if it is re-enabled, the trigger will become operational again)
- If the developer unpublishes the add-on or submits a broken version to the add-on store

Ie, you would simply write the day's date to a key (eg LAST_SEEN ) in PropertiesService#UserProperties every day, and then check both TOKEN and LAST_SEEN when deciding which card to display.

Gmail Add-on Solution:

Per Gmail add-on documentation, you cannot create or use Apps Script simple / installable triggers in a Gmail add-on. So, the easiest implementation of the solution is not available. However, we can still use this approach, by moving the region in which that LAST_SEEN key is updated.

Right now (2018 March), the only available trigger for a Gmail add-on is the contextual trigger unconditional :

Currently, the only contextual trigger type available is unconditional , which triggers for all emails regardless of content.

So, if you bind to this contextual trigger, while your add-on is installed it will run a function whenever the user opens an email. The solution is then for your contextually triggered function to include the snippet

PropertiesService.getUserProperties().setProperty("LAST_SEEN", String(new Date().getTime()));

If you have other stuff to do in your contextually triggered function, that code will be uninfluenced by this addition. If you don't have a contextually triggered function, then you'd want to return [] (an empty card stack) in order to avoid showing any UI.

To use this new property, in your buildAddon(e) method you want to query for this value in addition to the TOKEN property you are using:

var userProps = PropertiesService.getUserProperties().getAll();
var Token = userProps["Token"];
var lastSeen = userProps["LAST_SEEN"] || 0; // If found, will be milliseconds since epoch.
var absence = new Date().getTime() - lastSeen; // Time in ms since last use of add-on.
if (Token == null || absence > /* some duration you choose */ ) {
  // New install, or user has started using app again.
  return [build_login_card()];
} else {
  // User is still using add-on, so do normal stuff.
}

• This is obviously not a perfect solution (ie an uninstall contextual trigger would be much better), but can help detect lack-of-use situations
• There are rate limits on how often you can write to PropertiesService. If you have speedy/"power" users, they might trip quotas.
  • Could combine CacheService and PropertiesService to handle frequent reads in a "short" session (of up to 6hr since last storage into cache).
