Luzifer / gmail-manage

This Google Apps-Script project contains two functionalities to automate your Gmail account:

You can define:

• Gmail queries which will be used to delete matching mails
• Your Gmail filters in code, put them into a proper version management and let them get applied by a state-enforcer

Setup

• Create a config.js from the config.sample.js
• Get yourself a configured clasp
• Create a Google Apps-Script project and activate the Gmail API in the corresponding GCP Project
• Execute npm ci && npm run build to generate the App-Script version of the code
• Execute a clasp push to upload the source code into your project

If everything went well you now should have your config.js and an app.js inside your App-Script project. (In the web-UI they are called .gs files instead of .js.)

Now you can execute the executeMailCleanup() and applyFilterDefinition() functions to apply your config. If you want a more automated version you can define project triggers inside the Edit menu for those two functions. For example you can set up a daily cron for them.
