I'm running a SendEmail script with a 3 triggers to be sent out on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.



I have 10 sheets on the spreadsheet (each one contains an SentEmail script and each needs to be sent out on those days but I have only 20 trigger limitation)



This is the code:



function sendEmail() {
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('BCX');
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var range = ss.getActiveSheet().getDataRange();
var range = s.getRange('B5:Q20');
var row = ss.getSheetByName('BCX').getRange("J1").getValue();
var to = "info@google.com";
var body = '';
var htmlTable = SheetConverter2.convertRange2html(range);
var body = "Hi Team!"
+ htmlTable
+ "<br/><br/><b><i>**This is an automated email**</i></b><br/><br/>Any question please let me know.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/><br/>";
var subject = "Google | Report " + row;

MailApp.sendEmail(to, subject, body, {htmlBody: body});
};


But if I use something like the following script it will create 3 triggers each week until it reaches 20 triggers (trigger limit).



function createTriggers() {
var days = [ScriptApp.WeekDay.MONDAY,
ScriptApp.WeekDay.WEDNESDAY,
ScriptApp.WeekDay.FRIDAY];
for (var i=0; i<days.length; i++) {
ScriptApp.newTrigger("sendEmail")
.timeBased().onWeekDay(days[i])
.atHour(7).create();
}
};

    I cannot understand the logic of But if I use something like the following script it will create 3 triggers each week until it reaches 20 triggers (trigger limit).. When your createTriggers() is run, 3 triggers are created for running sendEmail every Monday, Wednesday and Friday as "Week timer". I think that when createTriggers() was run once, such trigger can be created. If I misunderstand your question, please tell me.

  • I need the first script to run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 10 sheets, that means 10 SendEmail scripts + 1 trigger for each day for each SendEmail script which trigger limitations doesnt allow more than 20

  • I'm sorry for my poor English skill. I couldn't understand about what you want to do. You use 10 sheets in one Spreadsheet? Or you use 10 Spreadsheets? It seems that your script uses one sheet in one Spreadsheet. So can you update your question by including the detail information of the logic? Because in your question, By this, I think that it will help users understand your issue and think of your solution.

  • Thank you for updating it. When you use 10 sheets in one Spreadsheet, I think that you can run a trigger by scanning each sheet. So I cannot understand the logic of each one contains an SentEmail script and each needs to be sent out on those days but I have only 20 trigger limitation. Can you explain about the detail of it? If my understanding of your situation is not correct, please tell me.
