sbolel / gmail-scheduler

Google app script system to allow gmail / google business apps users to schedule outgoing messages & to set messages to return to inbox

Gmail Scheduler

• Forked from webdigi/GmailScheduler
• See Webdigi's intro video

Getting Started

• Open Gmail Scheduler
• Accept permissions
• Create labels as required.
  • Example: "2 hours later", "two days later" and so on.

Usage

Outgoing messages

• Compose a new message in Gmail
• Add the label under timer as required.
• Note: Do not click on the send button. Only set the label and leave the message in drafts.

Returning messages to inbox

• You can allow Gmail to return messages back to inbox.
• Apply a label under timer to any of our message, and it will return to your inbox as scheduled.

Accessing your GmailScheduler settings:

• Access your settings via script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbw6hnnKGeG6xUsbRE9c3WSvJibTbaW88DP9f83e8lFnc1v1kL0/exec

Troubleshooting

1) Cannot connect to Gmail

• You may see an error similar to the one shown in this image
  • This means that Gmail could not connect to Google app scripts.
  • This timeout happens between Google services -- you can ignore these messages.
  • Any queued messages will be sent out in the next run.
• Set a Gmail filter to delete these messages.
  • You can filter on messages with subject "Summary of failures for Google Apps Script: Gmail Scheduler" sent from: [e-mail]

2) Uninstalling Gmail Scheduler

• Visit the https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbw6hnnKGeG6xUsbRE9c3WSvJibTbaW88DP9f83e8lFnc1v1kL0/manage/uninstall
• Click on Uninstall (You can always follow the initial setup again to reinstall the scheduler)

3) Error: Service using too much computer time for one day
