Why the Email Body is giving different out put?-CodePudding

I'm trying to trigger an email from Google App script.

const body = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput( "A <b> new task </b> have been added to the Task Manager <br> www.abc.com")
if (props.val == "Jonh"){
MailApp.sendEmail("[email protected]",task,body,{name:"ABC"})
}

The problem is, email body give nothing but just this screen shot

What is the mistake?

CodePudding user response：

In your script, HtmlOutput object is directly used as the text body. I think that this is the reason for your issue. And, the 3rd argument of sendMail is the text body. In your situation, I thought that HTML body might be your expcted result. In this case, how about the following modification?

Modified script:

const body = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput("A <b> new task </b> have been added to the Task Manager <br> www.abc.com")
if (props.val == "Jonh") {
  MailApp.sendEmail("[email protected]", task, null, { name: "ABC",htmlBody: body.getContent() });
}

Or, in your script, I think that you can directly use the HTML as follows.

if (props.val == "Jonh") {
  MailApp.sendEmail("[email protected]", task, null, { name: "ABC",htmlBody: "A <b> new task </b> have been added to the Task Manager <br> www.abc.com" });
}

Or,

const body = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput("A <b> new task </b> have been added to the Task Manager <br> www.abc.com")
if (props.val == "Jonh") {
  MailApp.sendEmail({
    to: "[email protected]",
    subject: task,
    htmlBody: body.getContent(),
    name: "ABC"
  });
}

Or,

if (props.val == "Jonh") {
  MailApp.sendEmail({
    to: "[email protected]",
    subject: task,
    htmlBody: "A <b> new task </b> have been added to the Task Manager <br> www.abc.com",
    name: "ABC"
  });
}

Modified script:
