gmail-auto-archive.js

function gmailAutoarchive() {
  var threads = GmailApp.search("in:inbox label:auto-archive older_than:2d");
  
  Logger.log("found " + threads.length + " threads:");
  for(var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
   var thread = threads[i];
   Logger.log((i+1) + ". " + thread.getFirstMessageSubject());
  }
  
  var batch_size = 100;
  while (threads.length) {
    var this_batch_size = Math.min(threads.length, batch_size);
    var this_batch = threads.splice(0, this_batch_size);
    
    GmailApp.moveThreadsToArchive(this_batch);

Hi @akamyshanov! Thanks for making this gist available. I'm trying to run it to try it out, but keep getting the "App is unverified" error, even for my own account. How do you run this regularly on your end? Are you simply bypassing the warning by going to "Advanced > Go to {Project Name} (unsafe)", or have you submitted this script for Verification?

Hi @felciano! I suggest you start with Google Apps Script Quickstart and just replace the sample script with this one. I think the key point here is to Enable the Gmail API advanced service.

Just tried it from another Google account and it prompted for authorization automatically during manual run. Subsequent runs just work.
