I\'m wondering if it would be possible to create an apps script that monitors my inbox or a certain label in gmail, and when an email is received, import it to a google spre

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to write a script to do what you've outlined. See the GmailApp documentation of Apps Script for methods that you can use to do so.

Answer 2

Here is a small code to start with, I did limit the request to the first 10 threads to make it short and used a label that I had ... don't forget to change its name before you test it ;-)

    function getMessagesWithLabel() {
     var destArray = new Array();
      var threads = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName('Facebook').getThreads(1,10);

      for(var n in threads){
            var msg = threads[n].getMessages();
            var destArrayRow = new Array();
            destArrayRow.push('thread has '+threads[n].getMessageCount()+' messages');
              for(var m in msg){
                         destArrayRow.push(msg[m].getSubject());
               }
      destArray.push(destArrayRow);           
            }
    Logger.log(destArray);
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    var sh = ss.getActiveSheet();
    if(ss.getLastRow()==0){sh.getRange(1,1).setValue('getMessagesWithLabel() RESULTS')};
    sh.getRange(ss.getLastRow()+1,1,destArray.length,destArray[0].length).setValues(destArray)
    }
