setImageUrl(url)
Sets the image to use by providing its URL or data string. Required.
The provided URL can either be a publicly accessible URL or a base64 encoded image string.
To obtain the latter, you can use the following code to create an encoded image string from an
image in your Google Drive, then store that string for later use with setImageUrl(url)
. This method prevents the need for your add-on to access a publicly
available image URL:
// The following assumes you have the image to use in Google Drive and have its ID. var imageBytes = DriveApp.getFileById(imageID).getBlob().getBytes(); var encodedImageURL = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + Utilities.base64Encode(imageBytes); // You can store encodeImageURL and use it as a parameter to Image.setImageUrl(url).
Parameters

---|---|---|
url | String | The URL address of a hosted image to use, or an encoded image string. |
Return
Image
— This object, for chaining.

object.
// ... var action = CardService.newAction().setFunctionName('notificationCallback'); CardService.newTextButton().setText('Create notification').setOnClickAction(action); // ... function notificationCallback() { return CardService.newActionResponseBuilder() .setNotification(CardService.newNotification() .setText("Some info to display to user")) .build(); }
