I'm trying to find a way to create emails using Google Apps Script and format specific words or phrases (not the whole body) in the email body. I want to automate creating some emails that have specific formatting needs.
I want to be able to make a header for a section that is bolded, underlined, and size 13.5pt and a sub-header that is bolded, size 10pt, with font color #990000. I also want to be able to do a bulleted list.
Can I do this with html or is there a way to create the email body with the specific formatting I want in a google doc and then copy and paste this into a email with apps script?
I've used apps script for a while but have not used the gmail classes and am unfamiliar with the html language. From what I've seen online you can format the whole body with html but I have yet to find information on formatting specific portions of the body.
Formatting specific parts of an email is possible by using sendEmail(recipient, subject, body, options). Here's a sample script that does I want to be able to make a header for a section that is bolded, underlined, and size 13.5pt and a sub-header that is bolded, size 10pt, with font color #990000. I also want to be able to do a bulleted list.
of the question. Kindly check if it works on your end.
function sendEmail() {
var htmlBody = "";
htmlBody += "<h1 style='font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline'>Header</h1>";
htmlBody += "<h2 style='font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; color: #990000'>Sub-header</h2>";
htmlBody += "<ol>";
htmlBody += "<li>Item 1</li>";
htmlBody += "<li>Item 2</li>";
htmlBody += "<li>Item 3</li>";
htmlBody += "</ol>";
var options = {
htmlBody: htmlBody
};
GmailApp.sendEmail("enter-your-email", "Subject", "", options);
}
