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.
