Hello i would really appreciate someone who knows how to code in java to help me in google scripts. All i want to do is change how my name appears in the inbox of the recipient. 

 GmailApp.sendEmail(row[RECIPIENT_COL], msgObj.subject, msgObj.text, {

         htmlBody: msgObj.html,
         bcc: 'b...@example.com',
         cc: 'c...@example.com',
         from: 'from....@example.com',
         name: 'name of the sender',
         replyTo: 're...@example.com',
        // noReply: true, // if the email should be sent from a generic no-reply email address (not available to gmail.com users)

I changed the "name: 'name of sender' 

to Johnny Matthews, however that is now preventing me from mail merging.

Q: Using google apps script, how do I change how my name appears in the inbox of the recipient?

A: To change how your name appears in the inbox of the recipient when using Google Apps Script, you can use the setName method of the GmailApp class. This method allows you to specify a custom name that will be used when sending emails from your Gmail account.

Here is an example of how you can use this method in your Google Apps Script code:

// Replace "John Doe" with the name you want to use 

GmailApp.setName("John Doe");

After running this code, any emails you send from your Gmail account will use the specified name in the recipient's inbox. Note that this name will only be used for emails sent using Google Apps Script. It will not affect the name that is displayed in the recipient's inbox for emails sent using other methods (e.g., the Gmail web interface or a mobile device).

If you want to revert back to using your default Gmail name, you can use the resetName method of the GmailApp class. This method will reset the name that is used for your emails to your default Gmail name. Here is an example of how you can use this method in your Google Apps Script code:

GmailApp.resetName();

After running this code, any emails you send from your Gmail account will use your default Gmail name in the recipient's inbox.

ChatGPT is going to change the world :)

Although you've probably seen SO have banned its use!

ChatGPT may (or may not) change the world but it certainly adds a whole new slew of ethical implications...

Still, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
