Hello there, I'm looking to fpr a script to delete or move new emails with specific subject within gmail. I managed to do that for specific users but I'd need to do in bulk for many users belonging to a certain OU. 

Requirements are:
  • Script to delete(moves to specific label) emails from mailbox specified by subject .
  • That the script run on a schedule as frequently as possible.
The ideal result is that I'm unaware the email arrived in the first place.

Many thanks.

Is there a reason you want to use apps script for this rather than just setting up a quarantine rule in the admin console (

Cheers,

Ian

Yes, the reason is that at our university, students are receiving too many notifications from Google Classroom. The Board decided that we should disable notifications, but GW does not provide this option, so I decided to delete the emails that students receive when submitting files in Classroom. I tried several times to apply scripts to Organization units, but I was unsuccessful. I was able to do it in personal accounts. I even tried to create service accounts acting as impersonator users, but still no results.

Thanks,
Oliver

You should be able to set up a quarantine for those emails—see the link I included in my original response. It’d be a lot easier, and wouldn’t have the effect of having the emails appear and then disappear again a while later….

Hope that helps,

Ian

It doesn’t seem to work for organizational units; it may only apply to groups.
