Disable an Apps Script trigger

Apps Script web apps often create a time-driven trigger when an action needs to be repeated on a periodic basis. This is the case of Gmail Meter, for example, which send you a new report by email at the beginning of every month.

In some cases, either because there's a specific bug or because you canceled the script's authorizations, you might receive a daily "Summary of failures" email, like this one:

This email contains a link to stop receiving failure notifications, but it is usually not working (see Google Issue Tracker).

Thus, to stop receiving those notifications, best is to follow those steps:

• • Make sure you are connected in your web browser to the Google account receiving those notifications

  • Open https://script.google.com/

  • In the Apps Script home page, click on "New script" in the top left corner

• • This will open the Apps Script editor. To use menus and see the list of all active triggers on your account, you will need to rename / save this script project. Then you can use the menu Edit > All your triggers

• • The list of all triggers linked to your account will be displayed.

• • If you see only one item in the list, delete it. Else, find the item matching the function name in the email you received:

That's all, once you have removed the right trigger you will stop receiving email notifications.
