Disable the send button

[Gavin]

Hey Team,

I am wondering if it is possible to disable the send button on Gmail unless a pre-defined condition is met for each email. I have been through all of your documentation and the Gmail API and cannot find reference to this. Can it be done?

hi Gavin, you can't actually disable the button itself, but the presending event that composeView emits that event object has a "cancel" function (https://www.inboxsdk.com/docs/#ComposeView). That cancel function makes it so that the compose doesn't actually get sent.

UX wise you definitely should not just cancel the sending, you should also show a message to the user (modal or tooltip) indicating that the send was canceled and why.

That helps a lot. Thank you very much! I'm trying to call the presending cancel function if the subject line does not match some pre-determined regex pattern but I can't seem to call it. I know that this is very basic but any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I have so far:

function cancel() 

{ 

  composeView.presending(cancel);

}

function scanSub(e) {

  var regpattern = /[TEXT]/g;

  if ( composeView.getSubject() != regpattern) {

  

return cancel();

  

    }

}

Kind regards,
