google apps script - Find text in column and send email only one time when found -


i want make google script searches text (given in cell c2) in column , send e-mail (only once) addres given in cell c3 when text found.

column exists of text results importxml formula.

i have searched , searched cant find it, , im of coding newb started :( appreciated.

below example of how can done, used background color mark cells in column mail has been sent (to avoid multiple sending).

it sends mail spreadsheet user , address in c3 can of course adapt needs.

// test sendmailoncondition   function sendmailoncondition(){   var sh = spreadsheetapp.getactivesheet();   var condition = sh.getrange("c2").getvalue();   var email = sh.getrange("c3").getvalue();   logger.log(condition);   var valuesincolumna = sh.getrange("a1:a").getvalues();   var colorsincolumna = sh.getrange("a1:a").getbackgrounds();   (var n=0;n<valuesincolumna.length;n++){     logger.log(colorsincolumna[n][0]);     logger.log(valuesincolumna[n][0]);     if(valuesincolumna[n][0]==condition && colorsincolumna[n][0]=='#ffffff'){       colorsincolumna[n][0]="#ddd";       mailapp.sendemail(session.getactiveuser().getemail(),"test mail","row number "+number(n+1)+" has value "+condition);// remove line if don't need       mailapp.sendemail(email,"test mail","row number "+number(n+1)+" has value "+condition);     }   }   sh.getrange("a1:a").setbackgrounds(colorsincolumna);// update cells colors }

edit : safety , avoid sending many emails erroneously when cell c2 empty (which happened me while testing ;-) can add third condition 'if' statement : condition !=""

the line becomes :

if(condition !="" && valuesincolumna[n][0]==condition && colorsincolumna[n][0]=='#ffffff'){
