I'm starting with GAS, and I'm trying to create a script that captures the data of an email sent from Gmail.
I can not find any GmailApps property that collects this information, and the methods it implements, I do not see any of them referring to it.
The idea is to capture this data, and write it in different cells of a spreadsheet.
Any ideas about it?
It seems that at the moment Google Script does not allow direct access to messages sent using a specific method. At least it does not appear in the official doc.
However, you can use the search method of GmailApp, evaluating the condition is:sent and searching the thread 0 (the root of the sent messages).
In this example, it is indicated that you search for the first 5 messages in the folder enviados and the subject getFirstMessageSubject will be displayed iterating over the array enviados . You can use any other method to get the data that interests you.
In this way you can access the messages sent without having to go through complicated methods such as knowing the id of the message, etc.
You can apply a series of interesting filters by combining them with the search method. You can filter messages by folders, by labels, by recipients, by date ranges ... In this link you will see some examples that could be useful when filtering the messages you want to get.
var enviados = GmailApp.search("is:sent", 0, 5);
for (var i = 0; i < enviados.lenght; i++)
{
Logger.log (enviados[i].getFirstMessageSubject());
}
Sample result
You can see a result similar to this if you click on the Ver - > Registros Google Script menu.
