How to write a conditional Gmail add-on trigger?










0















I would like the addon to reload only when a new thread is selected, instead of reloading for every different message.



"contextualTriggers": [
"unconditional":
,
"onTriggerFunction": "buildAddOn"
]

          You can use CacheService to track the ID of the current Gmail thread inside the buildAddon method. If the thread Id changes, call the main method else skip.

          • In that case, the addon trigger method will return void. This would cause the addon to show an empty screen.
