Execution info

Information about a running script

You can access certain attributes of a running script through the methods of the ExecutionInfo object. For example, isPreview() 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 
 ); 
 } 
 

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:

  let 
  
 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.
