How do I test my configuration without risking unwanted changes to Gmail or GDrive?​

Use the dry-run mode:

function run() {
  // NOTE: Switch to "safe-mode" after testing the config
  GmailProcessorLib.run(config, "dry-run")
}

How do I migrate my configuration from GMail2GDrive to Gmail Processor?​

Use the playground. See Migrating from GMail2GDrive for details.

How do I use my own customized version of the Gmail Processor library?​

See Getting Started - Copy the Library Code.

How do I use multiple configurations within a single Google Apps Script project?​

Make sure to give all variables and functions unique names since they all share the same namespace - even if located in different *.gs files:

var config1 = {...}
function run1() {
  GmailProcessorLib.run(config1, ...)
}

var config2 = {...}
function run2() {
  GmailProcessorLib.run(config2, ...)
}

How do I store GDrive attachments in emails?​

Use the following config snippet to extract the fileId and filename of the GDrive attachment from the email body and use it for the download URL of the message.storeFromURL action:

  {
    "match": {
      "body": "(?s)<a href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/(?<fileId>[^/]+)/view\\?usp=drivesdk\".*<span [^>]+>(?<filename>[^<]+)</span>"
    },
    "actions": [
      {
        "name": "message.storeFromURL",
        "args": {
          "url": "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=${message.body.match.fileId}&export=download",
          "location": "/some-path/${message.body.match.filename}",
        }
      }
    ]
  }
