Answer 1

Typically if you are creating a record that has a dependency on an email being sent then you need to implement the email function and call back inside the success function of the record being created like so:
Lets say you have a form with a button that creates a record that has an email sent status field then your 'Submit Button' should have the following code:
var status = app.pages.Email.descendants.EmailStatus;
widget.datasource.createItem({
success: function(result) {
google.script.run
.withFailureHandler(function(e) {
status.text = e.message;
result.Success = false;
})
.withSuccessHandler(function() {
status.text = 'Email sent';
result.Success = true;
})
.sendEmailMessage(to, subject, msg);
},
failure: function(error) {
status.text = error.message;
}
});
