This is designed to loop through each row of a Google Sheet and send an email containing information from it. This means you can send personalised emails with ad-hoc information for each recipient quickly.
It has been developed so that it is easily expandable for you to add further columns/rows. The script has a number of features to achieve this:
- A menu option for easily selecting to send email, with a confirmation dialogue popup.
- A timestamp as confirmation for when an email was sent.
- A check that an Email Address is present and there is no current value in the Email Sent column – to prevent repeat email sending but also allow ad-hoc emailing by clearing this column for those you wish to send again.
- A try/catch to help automatically deal with problematic emails that may break the script – an error message will be written into the Email Sent column and the script will continue on to the next row.

I use Google Apps Script to support staff and students in my job. I enjoy dabbling with creating tools to help with automation and I freely share my learning experiences on my blog: www.pbainbridge.co.uk
