如果 3 列中的任何日期 = 今天，Google Sheets Appscript 发送电子邮件

Question

I'm trying to write a code that will automatically trigger an email if either column C , D or E (dates) equals today's date, I've been doing some research on Or logical operators for Js but is not working, I'm getting a "SyntaxError: Unexpected token" error, is it either on the condition for today or is it because the Or operators (||) ?

Updated Script This now is working fine defining today's date using const currenttime = new Date(), but I'm getting an email for each line item instead of just those with today's date, any clues?

function sendEmails() {
  const sheet1 = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
    const sheet = sheet1.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
  const dataRange = sheet.getRange("A1:E1000");
  const data = dataRange.getValues();
  const currenttime = new Date();

  data.forEach(function (rowData) {
    const recipient = rowData[0];
    const emailAddress = rowData[1];
    const Notes = rowData[5];
    const date = rowData[2];
      const date2 = rowData[3];
        const date3 = rowData[4];

    if (date == currenttime || date2 == currenttime || date3 == currenttime) {return}

    const greeting = 'Dear ' + recipient + ',\n'
    const customerMessage = 'Please follow up with ' + Notes + ' By today!';
    const greatJobMessage = 'Thanks';

    const message = [greeting, customerMessage, greatJobMessage].join('\n');
    const subject = 'Reminder to Follow up!';
    MailApp.sendEmail("ecmoranavila@gmail.com", subject, message);
  }) 
}

There are some issues with your script that need to be addressed in order for it to work.

First of all, your if condition is not doing anything. It has an empty return (?) and then it gets closed. The code that sends the email is out of the condition so it will always run.

Second, the Date declaration returns an string like this: Fri Mar 13 12:30:50 GMT+01:00 2020 , so it is not useful unless the dates in your Sheet should also specify hours, minutes and seconds (miss one second and the email will not be sent).

---

Fixes:

1. Get the data of the Sheet with getDisplayValues() . Otherwise the script will get the date in a completely different format than the Sheet:

   const data = dataRange.getDisplayValues();

   In my Sheet, the dates look like this: 13-03-2020 , but you can use any other format .

---

2. Format the Date of the current time. As I said before, new Date() returns a long String. You can format it with the Utilities class to make it coincide with the dates written in the Sheet:

   const currenttime = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), 'UTC', 'dd-MM-yyyy');

---

3. Change your if condition so it covers the rest of the code. Also, remove the return as it's not doing anything:

  if (date == currenttime || date2 == currenttime || date3 == currenttime) {

   const greeting = 'Dear ' + recipient + ',\n'
   const customerMessage = 'Please follow up with ' + Notes + ' By today!';
   const greatJobMessage = 'Thanks';

   const message = [greeting, customerMessage, greatJobMessage].join('\n');
   const subject = 'Reminder to Follow up!';
     MailApp.sendEmail("ecmoranavila@gmail.com", subject, message)}
 }); 
}
