Information about a running script
You can access certain attributes of a running script through the methods of the
ExecutionInfo
object. isPreview(), for instance, tells you
whether a script is currently being previewed or is actually executing.
This often simplifies debugging code:
// Code that generates a report.
// ...
if (!AdsApp.getExecutionInfo().isPreview()) {
// Do not email the report when in preview mode!
MailApp.sendEmail("customer@example.com", "Report is ready!", report);
}
Additionally, the ExecutionInfo object exposes remaining quota, allowing a script to make intelligent decisions when nearing its limits.
Information about a script's account
Account information for a running script is often needed, especially when
the same unchanged script is used in multiple accounts. If the script is
emailing out a report, the recipient needs to identify the originating
account. You can use the
Account
object's getCustomerId()
method for this:
var accountId = AdsApp.currentAccount().getCustomerId();
MailApp.sendEmail("customer@example.com",
"Report is ready for " + accountId, report);
The Account object also has methods to let you identify the account's currency and time zone.
