Archive Update

This system automatically searches Gmail for emails sent to or from specific contacts or domains, converts them into PDFs, and stores them in named folders in Google Drive. It's used to keep a searchable, organized, and timestamped record of key communications for future reference, especially across insurance and claim-related projects.

• Searches Gmail for all emails to or from a specific sender or domain.
• Converts each email into a timestamped .pdf file using Google Apps Script.
• Stores the PDFs in organized folders within Google Drive, named after the contact or domain.
• Filenames follow this format: YYYY-MM-DD - TO/FROM email@domain.com - Subject.pdf

1. Create a new Google Apps Script project.
2. Paste the provided script for the desired sender/domain (see below).
3. Run the script and authorize permissions.
4. The script auto-creates a Drive folder (if not existing) and fills it with PDFs.

Replace @example.com or user@example.com with your target domain or address:

function archiveAllEmailsWithDomain() {
  var domain = "@example.com";
  var threads = GmailApp.search("from:" + domain + " OR to:" + domain);
 
  var folderName = "Gmail PDFs - Example (All Emails)";
  var folders = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(folderName);
  var folder = folders.hasNext() ? folders.next() : DriveApp.createFolder(folderName);
 
  for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
    var messages = threads[i].getMessages();
    for (var j = 0; j < messages.length; j++) {
      var msg = messages[j];
      var sender = msg.getFrom();
      var recipient = msg.getTo();
      var date = Utilities.formatDate(msg.getDate(), "GMT", "yyyy-MM-dd");
      var subject = msg.getSubject().replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/g, '').substring(0, 50);
 
      var direction = sender.includes(domain) ? "FROM" : "TO";
      var contact = sender.includes(domain) ? sender : recipient;
      var contactClean = contact.match(/<(.+)>/) ? contact.match(/<(.+)>/)[1] : contact;
 
      var filename = `${date} - ${direction} ${contactClean} - ${subject}.pdf`;
      var blob = Utilities.newBlob(msg.getBody(), "text/html", filename).getAs("application/pdf");
 
      folder.createFile(blob);
    }
  }
}
