Generate Trigger Code
generate_trigger_codeRead-onlyIdempotent
Generate Apps Script code to create time-driven or event-based triggers, enabling automated function execution in Google Workspace.
Instructions
Generates Apps Script code for creating triggers.
The Apps Script API cannot create triggers directly - they must be created
from within Apps Script itself. This tool generates the code you need.
To list or remove existing triggers without opening the editor, use
manage_script_trigger (action="list" / action="delete") instead.
