Hi all,

I would like to send an email which contains a link / button in the HTML email body. Once the recipient clicked on the link / button, I would like to run a server-side function on Google Apps Script.

Somehow, I can't get this to work (the logs in the function runFuncServer never show up). Can you please share if you see any issue with the below code? Or if I should be addressing this problem through another approach?

Many thanks for the help
Anas

Here is my Code.gs:

function launchTest() {
  var htmlStringService = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile("EmailBody");
  GmailApp.sendEmail("random...@gmail.com", "Title", 'Body not used', { htmlBody: htmlStringService.getContent()});
}

function runFuncServer() {
  console.info('Server function was called correctly!');
}

Here is EmailBody.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <base target="_top">
  </head>
  <script>
    function runFuncClient(){
      google.script.run.runFuncServer();
    }
  </script>
  <body>
    This is a simple email. Please click <button onclick='runFuncClient()'>here</button>
  </body>
</html>
