Google Apps Script - Send SMS when receiving an email in GMail

So, you don't have Internet access but still want to be notified whenever someone special email you (GMail)? Here you go: Google Apps Script FTW.

1. In GMail, create a label name "Send SMS", then create a filter to apply that label to whichever messages you want. For example, every message coming from the email address my-love-one@gmail.com will be applied the "Send SMS" label.

2. Go to Google Apps Script, create a blank project, paste this script into the script editor:



  • Every time the Gms_send_sms runs, it will get all email messages which have "Send SMS" label.
  • Create an event in the Google Calendar for each message.
  • Create an SMS notification for each of those events.
  • Remove the label of those messages


3. In the script editor, select Resources menu >> Current project's triggers >> create a trigger to run the Gms_send_sms function every 5 minutes. You will need to grant permissions for the script to access your gmail and calendar apps.
