Every morning, I’d wake up to 200+ unread emails — job alerts, connection requests, newsletters. My inbox wasn’t just cluttered — it was unusable
Managing job alerts and promotional emails from platforms like Naukri and LinkedIn was becoming overwhelming for me. Every day, my inbox would flood with hundreds of notifications, most of which were irrelevant. Deleting them manually was frustrating; even when I applied filters, I could only delete 50 emails at a time. That wasn’t enough because once I deleted 50 emails, another 50 would pop up, as there were thousands in my inbox.
After thinking about how I can delete this programmatically or using any available automation tool to resolve this situation, I discovered Google Apps Script.
Google Apps Script is a cloud-based scripting platform by Google that lets you automate, extend, and integrate Google Workspace tools like Gmail, Drive, Sheets, Calendar, etc.
