Google Translate: This article presents eMayordomo , a GAS development capable of monitoring a Gmail mailbox and responding automatically and in a conditional manner to emails from various web forms, sending messages prepared in advance. These prepared responses support HTML, inline images, attachments, and emojis

For non-Spanish speakers you’ll have to hit Google Translate but it is well worth it for the very thorough documentation Pablo Felip has prepared, which includes the source blog post and GitHub repository. The repository is particularly useful to look at as Pablo has taken the time to document and explain the various Google Apps Script functions he has developed, methods used and potential issues/limitations when interacting with a Gmail inbox.

Get the difference between dates in minutes

The following Google Apps Script is designed to get the difference (in minutes) between 2 dates from a Google Sheet. This was part of a tool used to create events from data in a Google Sheet where I needed to get the duration of the meeting for Zoom. The actual date, hour and minute values are separated in columns as it was easier to control user input in that format, so we will need to piece them together.

Bulk create Google Drive folders with a sub-folder from data given in a Google Sheet. Optional user permissions can be added.

This tool and blog post is largely a continuation of this one for bulk creating Google Drive folders. The main difference being that there is an extra column to provide the name of your sub-folder. Note that the tool will try to create a sub-folder regardless of what is entered – as I was just aiming to create a version for the many requests I got from the previous blog post from people who wanted a sub-folder.
