open gmail with app script.

[Farassi Youssef]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to open a draft directly on gmail with the script?

Thanks for your answer :D.

Do you want to cause the GMail user interface to display a draft to the user?

I don't know of a way to do that. Apps Script can get the content of a draft email, and if you created your own dialog box you could display the contents.

Here is a link to some documentation.

at the beginning I wanted to open directly a draft in gmail 

after I decided thereafter to open my mail in a modal and to make it modifiable but unfortunately that makes it difficult to add an attachment 

and prevents me from changing the formatting of the text as with this bar.

You'd need to implement an HTML editor in the modal to format the email content which might be difficult.

And Gmail doesn't support all HTML styling.

I'm not sure if a Chrome extension could do what you want, but I don't know if there's a way to integrate Apps Script into a Chrome Extension.

You could spend a lot of time trying to find a solution and end up at a dead end. If someone else has any ideas, please let us know.
