known fix for email quota limits #97

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I'm a Google apps script developer who has also felt the constraints of the 
quotas (especially the email ones). A solution I've come up with us to use the 
mandrill api(mandrill.com by mailchimp so it's very reputable). It offers a 
very easy api that has very large limits (in the this thousands that increase 
drastically if your emails don't bounce). This would take a little input from 
the user (they'd have to create a free account and give their api token but 
that's very easy). The code is also very simple 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19354200/use-mandrill-api-in-google-apps-scr
ipt but read the second to last comment for a needed edit then it works) and 
once setup needs no maintenance

I hope you do implement this feature (or other teachers read this and edit the 
code) because I can see how teachers works routinely see more then 100 kids in 
a day and then couldn't use your service unless they have Google apps not just 
a normal gmail)

Cheers
