This is designed to automate bulk renaming of multiple files within a single Google Drive folder. It has been developed as a Google Sheet with flexibility towards entering your own search pattern and replacement string as you see fit.

Bulk send emails from a Google Sheet

Tags:
| |

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:

  1. A menu option for easily selecting to send email, with a confirmation dialogue popup.
  2. A timestamp as confirmation for when an email was sent.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Bulk create Google Drive folders from a Google Sheet

Tags:

The following Google Apps Script code was developed to bulk create Google Drive folders with data from a given spreadsheet (eg to name the folders and add permissions). It uses the Module Name and Marker to form the folder name as it iterates through each row in turn. At the same time it takes the Marker Email Address and uses the ‘DriveApp’ to provide edit access to the folder. Finally it creates another sub-folder in each folder as an extra.
