Accessing Gmail Canned Responses with GAS

[Scott Donald]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a library to access Gmail's canned responses templates. 

I've looked in MailApp, GmailApp and the Gmail advanced services with no luck. Perhaps I have my vernacular wrong and don't know the term to search for. I tried to look for it in my label list after a bit of troubleshooting but no luck. 

Anyway, I thought it would be cool to be able to access canned responses as a way to send out a bulk email as opposed to some of the other methods I have used. 

Cheers Scott

I think the templates are stored as hidden drafts in Gmail - try retrieving the Gmail drafts via the advanced Gmail service and see if that works.

Thanks, Amit!

I'm playing around with it now. So far I can't quite find they have differentiated hidden draft files with the accompanying JSON data. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks again.

Unfortunately I don't believe there is any API, in Apps Script or elsewhere, for managing the canned responses. That would be a good feature request though.

To all interested parties, be sure to star the feature request on issue tracker. Adding a "+1" comment will not do much (if anything) to raise awareness of the issue. Its better to star it instead.
