I have a problem with some Google Script stuff. Basically, my goal is to have the script check to see if a client's case was resolved and then send an email to them that the issue has been resolved. I've gotten the logic done on when to send an email, but every time I try and implement it into the spreadsheet, I get the error:
Error You do not have permission to call MailApp.sendEmail. Required permissions: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.send_mail (line 8).
I've got a simple function to test the functionality of it, and when run in the script editor it works fine, but not on the spreadsheet. Here is my sample function:
function myFunction(row) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rng = sheet.getRange(row, 1, 1, 2);
var ara = rng.getValues();
var email = ara[0][0];
MailApp.sendEmail(email, "TEST", "This is a test of sendEmail().");
return "Email sent.";}
According to the Apps Script Custom Functions documentation :
If your custom function throws the error message
You do not have permission to call X service.
, the service requires user authorization and thus cannot be used in a custom function.To use a service other than those listed above, create a custom menu that runs an Apps Script function instead of writing a custom function. A function that is triggered from a menu will ask the user for authorization if necessary and can consequently use all Apps Script services.
Basically, you can replicate the wanted behavior of the two functions above with this:
function SendEmail() {
var message = "This is your response";
var subject = "You have feed back in the parking lot";
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var textrange = ss.getRange("F2");
var emailAddress = ss.getRange("B2").getValue();
if (textrange.isBlank() == false)
MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message);
}
And in order to trigger the execution of this function, you can make use of Apps Script triggers and choose one which is the most convenient for your use-case.
You can also create a custom menu and with the option of triggering the above function. You only need to add this:
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu("My Menu")
.addItem("Send Email", "SendEmail")
.addToUi();
}
And this is how it will look like on the Spreadsheet:
I encountered the same problem today "You do not have permission to call MailApp.sendEmail".
I solved this by doing the next steps:
{
"oauthScopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.send_mail"],
}
PS: I assigned the script to an image, which basically acts like a button.
