Attaching Google Sheet to emails from Gmail automatically using G Script

Question

I found a G Script that works for sending an email to hundreds of addresses, based on an excel file with the name (which I can convert into Sheets if necessary).

I want to be able to add an attachment (which is currently an excel file, but can easily be converted into Sheets) to each email that is sent. The attachment is the same for each email.

The below script works for sending the emails, but I can't find the right way to add an attachment to each email (Note: line 17 is where I'm getting the error code).

I've tried a few different versions based on other similar strings on this site - but I can't get it to work with my situation, or maybe I don't understand how to structure the syntax accordingly.

/**
 * Sends emails with data from the current spreadsheet.
 */
 function sendEmails() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 1; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells A2:B2
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 1);
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[1]; // Second column
var subject = 'Sending emails from a Spreadsheet'
var file = Drive.Files.get('test123/xlsx');
 MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message, {attachments: 
  [file]});
   }
  }

ReferenceError: "Drive" is not defined. (line 17, file "Code")

Answer 1

"Drive" is the Advanced Drive API.In order to use the Drive advanced api you need to enable that api. But you really don't need the advanced api here.

Is your file in drive?

If so try this instead:

var file = DriveApp.getFileById("XXXXXXXXXXX");

the "xxx" should be the drive id.

Answer 2

According to the reference documentation , it looks like the class you're looking for is DriveApp.

/**
 * Sends emails with data from the current spreadsheet.
 */
 function sendEmails() {
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var startRow = 2; // First row of data to process
  var numRows = 1; // Number of rows to process
  // Fetch the range of cells A2:B2
  var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 1, numRows, 1);
  // Fetch values for each row in the Range.
  var data = dataRange.getValues();
  for (i in data) {
    var row = data[i];
    var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
    var message = row[1]; // Second column
    var subject = 'Sending emails from a Spreadsheet';
    var file = DriveApp.getFileById('test123/xlsx');
    MailApp.sendEmail(emailAddress, subject, message, {attachments: 
  [file]});
  }
}
