How to Send Customized Emails with Attachments Using Google Apps Script and Google Sheets
This content is about using Google Sheets and Apps Script to select user information from a spreadsheet, constructing an email with a customized HTML file and PDF file attachment, and sending it to all users in the spreadsheet. The process involves creating a sender mail function and selecting the users' data from the spreadsheet. The content also includes instructions on how to loop through the values, get the user's name and ID, and construct an email using the mail app service.

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a script using Google Sheets that extracts data, constructs an email, and sends it out to users in the sheet. It also includes how to convert a Google Doc into a file and send it as an attachment, create an HTML file from data in the spreadsheet, and send attachments with the email. The tutorial covers using the Mail App service, looping through data, selecting sheet objects, and logging data in the console.
Send Email to Users from Sheet Make HTML and PDF files as attachments

This script sends an email to each user listed in the "Users" sheet of a Google Spreadsheet. The email contains the user's name, user ID, and an HTML body with some additional content.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the code:
The variable "id" contains the ID of the Google Drive file that will be used as an attachment in the email. This file is assumed to be a PDF document, and its ID is hardcoded into the script.
The "ss" variable contains the currently active Google Spreadsheet, and the "sheet" variable references the "Users" sheet within that spreadsheet.
The "rows" variable contains an array of all the rows in the "Users" sheet, except for the header row (which is skipped using the "slice" method).
A "forEach" loop is used to iterate over each row in the "rows" array.
Inside the loop, the script extracts the user's name, email, and user ID from the current row using array indexing.
The "subject" variable is set to a string that includes the user's name.
The "body" variable is set to an HTML string that includes the user's name and user ID.
The "html" variable is set to another HTML string that includes some additional content, as well as the "body" variable from step 7.
A new Blob object is created from the "html" string using the "Utilities.newBlob" method. This Blob will be used as an attachment in the email.
The "file" variable is set to a Drive file object that represents the PDF file with the hardcoded ID.
The "MailApp.sendEmail" method is called with several arguments:
The "to" field is set to the user's email address.
The "subject" field is set to the subject string from step 6.
The "htmlBody" field is set to the body string from step 7.
The "attachments" field is set to an array that includes the PDF file object from step 10 and the Blob object from step 9.
The script logs the user's name to the console for debugging purposes.
Overall, this script is useful for sending personalized emails to a group of users using data from a Google Spreadsheet. It demonstrates how to create an HTML email body and attach a file to the email using Google Apps Script.
