# Creating dummy data for Gmail using Google Apps Script

> For my Next session earlier this year I needed to show the Gmail inbox of my test account, but didn’t want it appear empty. So I throw together a quick [#appsscript](https://twitter.com/hashtag/appsscript?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) to create dummy emails, using data generated in [@mockaroodev](https://twitter.com/mockaroodev?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). Now you can too! [https://t.co/CgEQU5WnJJ](https://t.co/CgEQU5WnJJ) [pic.twitter.com/Y8tHb6Ynch](https://t.co/Y8tHb6Ynch)
