    <p>I am working on SMS notification each time I receive an email that meets certain criteria; I decided to use Google App Scripts for this.</p> <p>I have been inspired in particular by the following article <a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/gmail_filter_sms" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/apps-script/articles/gmail_filter_sms</a>. I also checked the related question in StackOverflow <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12060620/sms-alerts-for-important-mails-in-gmail">SMS Alerts for Important Mails in Gmail</a>.</p> <p>I improved the original script from developers.google.com by cleaning up the events the next time the script is run (I was receiving the SMS alerts each time the script is run). The script is currently working by using the label 'SendText' and creating events in calendar 'AlertSMS'. </p> <p>However the SMS I receive only contain the subject and author of the email: I <strong>need to display the content of the email</strong> (or at least a part of it). I tried with no luck to add it to the description of the event. Anybody got an idea on how to do it?</p> <p>Hereunder, the code of my script:</p> <pre><code>function sendText() { var now = new Date().getTime(); // Delete old events var events = CalendarApp.openByName('AlertSMS').getEvents(new Date('January 1, 2010 EST'), new Date(now-30000)); for (i in events) { events[i].deleteEvent(); } // Get list of emails to set alert for var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName('SendText'); var threads = label.getThreads(); // Create new events for emails alert for(i in threads){ var message=threads[i].getMessages()[0]; CalendarApp.openByName('AlertSMS').createEvent('[SMS] '+threads[i].getFirstMessageSubject()+' -from- '+message.getFrom(), new Date(now+60000), new Date(now+60000), { description:message.getBody() }).addSmsReminder(0); } label.removeFromThreads(threads); } </code></pre>

    1. COSMS notifications do not show you the description of calendar events. They just tell you the title of the event. So if you want part of the description in the SMS, you'll have to somehow incorporate that into the title.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
