Creating drafts with script editor from google spreadsheets












0














I need help with the code below. What it does is generating drafts in Gmail, from the google spreadsheet mail-merge list and attaches .pdf files from google drive to corresponding messages , which are also generated from the google spreadsheet.
The problem is that it creates 150 (which is the number of rows in the table) of the same e-mail, addressed to the person in the first line of the mail-merge list, while the list filtered has 6 different people in it to send mails to and I need only 6 different drafts to be generated.
Please help me solve this, as I am not familiar with javascript.



Thanks in Advance.






function Createdraft() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Mail Merge');
var startRow = 3; // First row of data to process
var numRows = 10; // Number of rows to process
// Fetch the range of cells
var dataRange = sheet.getRange(startRow, 3, numRows, sheet.getLastColumn());
// Fetch values for each row in the Range.
var data = dataRange.getValues();
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var emailAddress = row[0]; // First column
var message = row[4]; // Second column
var subject = 'Sending emails from a Spreadsheet';
var file = row[2];
GmailApp.createDraft(emailAddress, subject, message,
{
attachments: [DriveApp.getFilesByName(file).next()]
});
}}
