Detailed documentation
deleteTrigger(trigger)
Removes the given trigger so it no longer runs.
// Deletes all triggers in the current project. const triggers = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers(); for (let i = 0; i < triggers.length; i++) { ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(triggers[i]); }
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
trigger | Trigger | The trigger to delete. |
Authorization
Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:
-
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp
getAuthorizationInfo(authMode)
Gets an object used to determine whether the user needs to authorize this script to use one or more services, and to provide the URL for an authorization dialog. If the script is published as an add-on that uses installable triggers, this information can be used to control access to sections of code for which the user lacks the necessary authorization. Alternately, the add-on can ask the user to open the URL for the authorization dialog to resolve the problem.
var authInfo = ScriptApp.getAuthorizationInfo(ScriptApp.AuthMode.FULL); status = authInfo.getAuthorizationStatus(); url = authInfo.getAuthorizationUrl();
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
authMode | AuthMode | the authorization mode for which authorization information is requested; in
almost all cases, the value for authMode should be ScriptApp.getAuthorizationInfo(ScriptApp.AuthMode.FULL) , since no other authorization mode
requires that users grant authorization |
Return
AuthorizationInfo
— an object that can provide information about the user's authorization status
getIdentityToken()
Gets an OpenID Connect identity token for the
effective user, if the openid
scope has been granted. This scope is not included
by default, and you must add it as an explicit scope in the manifest
file to request it. Include the scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
or https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile
to return additional
user information in the token.
The returned ID token is an encoded JSON Web Token (JWT), and it must be decoded to extract information from it. The following examples shows how to decode the token and extract the effective user's Google profile ID.
const idToken = ScriptApp.getIdentityToken(); const body = idToken.split('.')[1]; const decoded = Utilities .newBlob( Utilities.base64Decode(body), ) .getDataAsString(); const payload = JSON.parse(decoded); Logger.log(`Profile ID: ${payload.sub}`);See the OpenID Connect documentation for the full list of fields (claims) returned.
Return
String
— The identity token if available; otherwise null
.
getInstallationSource()
Returns an enum value that indicates how the script came to be installed as an add-on for the current user (for example, whether the user installed it personally through the Chrome Web Store, or whether a domain administrator installed it for all users).
Return
InstallationSource
— The source of installation.
getOAuthToken()
Gets the OAuth 2.0 access token for the effective user. If the script's OAuth scopes are sufficient to authorize another Google API that normally requires its own OAuth flow (like Google Picker), scripts can bypass the second authorization prompt by passing this token instead. The token expires after a time (a few minutes at minimum); scripts should handle authorization failures and call this method to obtain a fresh token when needed.
The token returned by this method only includes scopes that the script currently needs. Scopes that were previously authorized but are no longer used by the script are not included in the returned token. If additional OAuth scopes are needed beyond what the script itself requires, they can be specified in the script's manifest file.
Return
String
— A string representation of the OAuth 2.0 token.
getProjectTriggers()
Gets all installable triggers associated with the current project and current user.
Logger.log( `Current project has ${ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers().length} triggers.`, );
Return
Trigger[]
— An array of the current user's triggers associated with this project.
Authorization
Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:
-
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp
getScriptId()
Gets the script project's unique ID. This is the preferred method to get the unique identifier
for the script project as opposed to
. This ID can be used in all places
where project key was previously provided.getProjectKey()
Return
String
— The script project's ID.
getService()
Gets an object used to control publishing the script as a web app.
// Get the URL of the published web app. const url = ScriptApp.getService().getUrl();
Return
Service
— An object used to observe and control publishing the script as a web app.
getUserTriggers(document)
Gets all installable triggers owned by this user in the given document, for this script or add-on only. This method cannot be used to see the triggers attached to other scripts.
const doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument(); const triggers = ScriptApp.getUserTriggers(doc); // Log the handler function for the first trigger in the array. Logger.log(triggers[0].getHandlerFunction());
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
document | Document | A Google Docs file that may contain installable triggers. |
Return
Trigger[]
— An array of triggers owned by this user in the given document.
Authorization
Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:
-
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp
getUserTriggers(form)
Gets all installable triggers owned by this user in the given form, for this script or add-on only. This method cannot be used to see the triggers attached to other scripts.
const form = FormApp.getActiveForm(); const triggers = ScriptApp.getUserTriggers(form); // Log the trigger source for the first trigger in the array. Logger.log(triggers[0].getTriggerSource());
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
form | Form | A Google Forms file that may contain installable triggers. |
Return
Trigger[]
— An array of triggers owned by this user in the given form.
Authorization
Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:
-
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp
getUserTriggers(spreadsheet)
Gets all installable triggers owned by this user in the given spreadsheet, for this script or add-on only. This method cannot be used to see the triggers attached to other scripts.
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); const triggers = ScriptApp.getUserTriggers(ss); // Log the event type for the first trigger in the array. Logger.log(triggers[0].getEventType());
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
spreadsheet | Spreadsheet | A Google Sheets file that may contain installable triggers. |
Return
Trigger[]
— An array of triggers owned by this user in the given spreadsheet.
Authorization
Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:
-
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.scriptapp
invalidateAuth()
Invalidates the authorization the effective user has to execute the current script. Used to invalidate any permissions for the current script. This is especially useful for functions tagged as one-shot authorization. Since one-shot authorization functions can only be called the first run after the script has acquired authorization, if you wish to perform an action afterwards, you must revoke any authorization the script had, so the user can see the authorization dialog again.
ScriptApp.invalidateAuth();
Throws
Error
— when invalidation fails
newStateToken()
Creates a builder for a state token that can be used in a callback API (like an OAuth flow).
// Generate a callback URL, given the name of a callback function. The script // does not need to be published as a web app; the /usercallback URL suffix // replaces /edit in any script's URL. function getCallbackURL(callbackFunction) { // IMPORTANT: Replace string below with the URL from your script, minus the // /edit at the end. const scriptUrl = 'https://script.google.com/macros/d/1234567890abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz'; const urlSuffix = '/usercallback?state='; const stateToken = ScriptApp.newStateToken() .withMethod(callbackFunction) .withTimeout(120) .createToken(); return scriptUrl + urlSuffix + stateToken; }
In most OAuth2 flows, the state
token is passed to the authorization endpoint
directly (not as part of the callback URL), and the authorization endpoint then passes it as
part of the callback URL.
For example:
- The script redirects the user to OAuth2 authorize URL:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?state=token_generated_with_this_method&callback_uri=https://script.google.com/macros/d/1234567890abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz/usercallback&other_oauth2_parameters
- The user clicks authorize, and the OAuth2 authorization page redirects the user back to
https://script.google.com/macros/d/1234567890abcdefghijklmonpqrstuvwxyz/usercallback?state=token_generated_with_this_method&other_params_that_include_tokens_or_grants
- The above redirect (back to
http://script.google.com/...
), causes the browser request to/usercallback
, which invokes the method specified byStateTokenBuilder.withMethod(method)
.
Return
StateTokenBuilder
— An object used to continue the state-token-building process.
newTrigger(functionName)
Begins the process of creating an installable trigger that, when fired, calls a given function.
// Creates an edit trigger for a spreadsheet identified by ID. ScriptApp.newTrigger('myFunction') .forSpreadsheet('1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_a1b2c3') .onEdit() .create();
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
functionName | String | The function to call when the trigger fires. You can use functions from
included libraries, such as Library.libFunction1 . |
Return
TriggerBuilder
— An object used to continue the trigger-building process.
Authorization
Scripts that use this method require authorization with one or more of the following scopes:
-
