# noneroll
|
|
|
|
This Google Apps Script moves your low priority (promotional, social, political, etc.) emails in Gmail to a custom label, and sends you a synopsis of recieved emails every morning for review.
|
|
|
|
Basically, this is `unroll.me` without any 3rd party access or [creepy data brokering](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/24/technology/personal-data-firm-slice-unroll-me-backlash-uber.html).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new spreadsheet in Google Sheets. Name it whatever you'd like.
|
|
|
|
- This spreadsheet will be used to keep track of low priority email addresses.
|
|
|
|
2. Create a new Gmail label. Mine is called `zbulk`, but you are more than welcome to be creative.
|
|
|
|
- Should you decide on a different label, replace every instance of `zbulk` in the `noneroll.gs` file to whatever name you have choosen.
|
|
|
|
3. Create a new Google Apps Script project.
|
|
|
|
- Copy code from `noneroll.gs` to the project's `Code.gs` file.
|
|
- Replace `sheetID` with the ID of the sheet (everything after `spreadsheets/d/` and before `/edit#` in the sheet's URL) that you created in Step 1.
|
|
|
|
4. Create project triggers. I am currently using the following settings:
|
|
|
|
- `arch` every 15 mins.
|
|
- Archives and labels email.
|
|
- `addEmail` between midnight and 1am.
|
|
- Adds labeled email addresses to spreadsheet.
|
|
- `noneroll` between 5 and 6am.
|
|
- Sends digest of emails from past 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Tag any emails that you wish to add to your low priority email digest with `zbulk` (or your custom label).
|
|
- Column A of your spreadhsheet will be populated with the email addresses of mail you consider low priority.
|
|
- It is a good idea to occasionally open your spreadsheet and select *"Data > Remove duplicates"* from the menu to prevent email addresses from appearing multiple times in your spreadsheet.
|
|
- Pull requests to fix this (see: automagically deduping email addresses) are welcome.
|
|
- If you want to stop mail from being flagged as low priority, remove the corresponding email address(es) from your spreadsheet and (to be safe) remove the label from any messages in `zbulk` (or your custom label).
|
|
- Low priority emails will be archived, labeled, and marked as read every 15 minutes.
