Latency in updating UI(inbox window), after a mail has been deleted in Gmail, add-on

[shayan amar]

Current Situation:

I've developed a Google Workspace add-on for reporting emails. This add-on successfully utilizes the Gmail Delete API to remove emails from the inbox after reporting them. However, the user interface (UI), specifically the inbox window, doesn't reflect the deletion in real time. Users need to manually refresh the page to see the updated inbox state.

Desired Outcome:

I'd like to improve the user experience by ensuring the UI automatically reflects the email deletion after it's processed by the add-on. This will provide immediate confirmation to users and streamline the reporting workflow

Apps-script

try {

// Gmail trash api to trash the selected message

    Gmail.Users.Messages.trash("me", messageId)

    console.log("Mail is deleted successfully.....")

  } catch (error) {

    console.error("Error in deleting mail...", error)

  }

That's not possible from a Google Workspace Add-on. However, it might be possible from a Chrome Extension.

So now what i have to do is whether I use Chrome extension in-replace of an add-on or use Chrome extension + add-on for achieving reporting mails task
