Checking if an email is valid in Google Apps Script

I'm using the built-in api for scripting against Google Spreadsheets to send some booking confirmations, and currently my script breaks if someone has filled in an invalid email. I'd like it to just save some data to a list of guests that haven't been notified, and then proceed with looping through the bookings.

This is my current code (simplified):

// The variables email, subject and msg are populated.
// I've tested that using Browser.msgBox(), and the correct column values are
// found and used

// The script breaks here, if an incorrect email address has been filled in
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, msg)

According to the d开发者_如何学Pythonocumentation the only two methods on the MailApp class are to send emails and check the daily quota - nothing about checking for valid email addresses - so I don't really know what criteria must be fulfilled for the class to accept the request, and thus can't write a validation routine.

If you need to validate email addresses beforehand, create a blank spreadsheet in your drive. Then, run the function below, changing the testSheet variable to point to the spreadsheet you created. The function will do a simple regex test to catch malformed addresses, then check if the address is actually valid by attempting to temporarily add it as a viewer on the spreadsheet. If the address can be added, it must be valid.

function validateEmail(email) {
  var re = /\S+@\S+\.\S+/;
  if (!re.test(email)) {
    return false;
  } else {
    var testSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(arbitrarySpreadsheetInYourDrive);
    try {
      testSheet.addViewer(email);
    } catch(e) {
      return false;
    }
    testSheet.removeViewer(email);
    return true;
  }
}

Stay calm, catch and log the exception and carry on:

try {
  // do stuff, including send email
  MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, msg)
} catch(e) {
  Logger.log("Error with email (" + email + "). " + e);
}

On the otherhand, avoid Checking email in script and get rid of loses quota or try-catch etc. I used that I got a valid email when user attempt to send an email, by signing him in an email and got that email:

private void handleSignInResult(Task<GoogleSignInAccount> completedTask) {
    try {
        GoogleSignInAccount account = completedTask.getResult(ApiException.class);

       String s = account.getEmail(); // here is the valid email.
                       
    } catch (ApiException e) {
        // The ApiException status code indicates the detailed failure reason.
        // Please refer to the GoogleSignInStatusCodes class reference for more information.
        Log.w(TAG, "signInResult:failed code=" + e.getStatusCode());
       
    }
}
