Gmail Snooze Labels

This is a very simple Google Apps Script for Gmail that will allow you to apply labels to emails, archive them, then have them pop back into your inbox in a set number of days or a specific day of the week.

Thanks to Offical Gmail Blog for the bulk of the code. I only modified it slightly to add Days of the Week in addition to the Number of Days.

How to set it up

1. Sign in to your Google account
2. Create a new Google Spreadsheet
3. Click "Tools > Script Editor"
4. Paste the script in Snooze.js
5. Run the function "setup", which will create the labels in your gmail account
6. Create a timer to execute the logic every morning. "Edit > Current projects triggers". Run "moveSnoozes", events "Time-driven", "Day-timer", "1am to 2am"

That's it. If you refresh your gmail account you will see the new labels.

How to test that it is working

1. Select a message in Gmail, move it to the "Snooze/Snooze 1 Days" label (or label and archive).
2. From the Google Apps Script, manually execute the "moveSnoozes" function.
3. Check in Gmail that the message was returned to the inbox.

How to use it in practice

Select a message(s) and either "move" the emails to the appropriate label, or apply a label and archive the message(s). These two actions are identical.
