Class TextButton

Sets the alternative text of the button for accessibility. If unset, defaults to the text that displays on the button.

Parameters

Return

TextButton — This object, for chaining.

Sets an authorization action that opens a URL to the authorization flow when the object is clicked. This opens the URL in a new window. When the user finishes the authorization flow and returns to the application, the add-on reloads.

A UI object can only have one of setOpenLink(openLink), setOnClickAction(action), setOnClickOpenLinkAction(action), setAuthorizationAction(action), or setComposeAction(action, composedEmailType) set.

// ...

const action = CardService.newAuthorizationAction().setAuthorizationUrl('url');
CardService.newTextButton().setText('Authorize').setAuthorizationAction(action);

Parameters

Return

TextButton — This object, for chaining.

Sets the background color for TextButtonStyle.FILLED button. If unset for a TextButtonStyle.FILLED button, the button uses the secondary color defined in the add-on manifest. This method is a no-op for TextButtonStyle.OUTLINED buttons.

Parameters

Return

Sets an action that composes a draft email when the object is clicked. A UI object can only have one of setOpenLink(openLink), setOnClickAction(action), setOnClickOpenLinkAction(action), setAuthorizationAction(action), or setComposeAction(action, composedEmailType) set.

The Action parameter must specify a callback function that returns a ComposeActionResponse object configured using ComposeActionResponseBuilder.setGmailDraft(draft).

// ...

const action = CardService.newAction().setFunctionName('composeEmailCallback');
CardService.newTextButton()
    .setText('Compose Email')
    .setComposeAction(action, CardService.ComposedEmailType.REPLY_AS_DRAFT);
