Here's an example of how you can use Google Apps Script to send an email from a Google Sheet:
Script:
function sendEmail() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var email = data[1][0]; // assuming the email address is in the first column of the first row
var subject = "Automated Email";
var body = "This is an automated email sent from Google Sheets.";
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, body);
}
Trigger:
To trigger the script to send an email when a new row is added to the sheet, you can set up a trigger in the Google Apps Script editor:
- Go to the Google Apps Script editor and click on the "Triggers" button.
- Click on the "Create trigger" button.
- Set the trigger to run the
sendEmail
function when a new row is added to the sheet. - Set the trigger to run on a specific sheet or range.
Once you've set up the trigger, the script will automatically send an email to the specified address when a new row is added to the sheet.
Remember to test your script and trigger to ensure that it's working as expected.
